Polk SDA2's again
« on: May 10, 2010, 01:25:48 PM »
I bought these from another forum member and they sound fantastic. Completely modded with new caps, tweeters, and binding posts. The only reason I am getting rid of them is my needs have changed and I only need one pair of big floorstanding loudspeakers. It took a lot of detailed A and B listening to choose my Mcintosh xr-16s over these. They really sound incredible with all of the mods, but were just slightly edged out by the Macs.
I am asking the same price that I paid for them.
$400

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

These are fabulous sounding speakers.  I put more money into the crossover upgrades and soft dome tweeters than Ed's asking price.  You'll be hard pressed to find a better sounding speaker for less money.
