I need help completing my setup in my dining room, fairly small (fits a 10-seater table). The only thing that i have right now is a Dual 1218 turntable w/ B&O SP12 stylus (that I picked up as junk and I have yet to actually repair). I've settled on the following choices for speakers and...

So I've been dreaming about getting my hands on a Polk SDA system for a while now. But those just never come up for sale in my area. And today I found two, one in my city and another one like 10hours away. The one in my city is an SDA A1... Going to check it out on Sunday. Now I'm wondering if...

Any idea what model these are? Can't seem to find any images on Google that match this look. Thanks!

Purchased this set last week from a fella on Offerup out of San Tan Valley AZ. Tweeters needed replacing, just attached a new pair today. Sound pretty good.

Hi, I've designed a system for my daughters pool area. the space is 20' by 50' and is open on three sides and against the wall on one of the 50' sides. Please kind people help me find best setting. Along wall is easiest while overhang is difficult option.

The other day I started noticing a rattling sound coming form one of my 10Bs'and was really baffled when I realized it was coming from the passive radiator. I mean without a voice coil to rub against and without anything electromagnetic happening in there, how could that even happen? Seems like...

I've been researching upgrading the crossovers in my Polk Monitor 10s for awhile. I've upgraded the tweeters to RD0-198s but have decided swapping the capacitors would also be a fun project and from what I've read will improve the sound even more. So far I haven't been able to find a schematic...

So I finally ended up with another pair of Series 2 5jrs.Ive had quite a few pair of Polks so I have extra"parts",lol. Which is the better tweet?

So I just picked up a pair of apolk Monitor Series 2 speakers for 40.00. Now,I have had 5jrs and 7s. I know they don't compare with the 7s but beings I have never heard of these can someone tell me quality wise of this pair?

Does anyone have insight on any compatible updated speaker components that would reproduce the "highs" & "mid-range" fidelity on these speakers? Improve crispness? Thanks!

I picked up this sub for $10, knowing it didn't work. Also knowing that it's a notoriously unreliable piece of equipment that, when working, sounds OK. Upon closer inspection, the driver itself seems sound.. no rubbing. Amp powers on, meaning red indicator LED lights up, but no sound at all...

I have a pair of original SDA-1's and was wondering what improvements can be expected from doing the SDA-1A mod to them. (I have the instructions from the old Club Polk) I have already upgraded to the RDO-194 tweeters. Is the SDA-1A upgrade really an improvement?

Does anyone have access to this, or a service manual? I called Polk, and they said they don't have it anymore. Of course, the first person I talked to asked me what a schematic was. Really. I hope they didn't find my laughter insulting.. it was spontaneous and unintentional. He was kind...

Looking to find a speaker to centre between Mirage M-3's in a home theatre behind an acoustically transparent screen. I can get a Mirage OM-C2 that matches for $350 Cdn but was curious if I might find a contemporary neutral floorstander/bookshelf that could do a better job. I'm considering a Kef...

Hello Karmanites, I was a part of this community quite awhile ago. When I started moving around a lot for work for I let go of most of my vintage equipment except a bare minimum. Now retired, I'm getting back into it. I can't believe how much the prices have increased on vintage (70s) gear...

Hey everybody, so I’ve got a rather strange problem and I’m not sure if it’s a speaker problem or an integrated amp problem. The setup I’ve got a beautiful pair of Polk SRS SDA 3.1s (with the SDA cord connecting them), a Kenwood KA-3500 integrated amplifier powering them, and a kenwood ss-79...

I came across a cheap pair of Polk SDA-1Cs and decided to pick them up as a project. Not sure what all has been stuffed in these, but at a glance: two original tweeters, two missing tweeters 3 mystery midrange drivers 5 original midrange drivers Several of the midrange drivers are bad and...

Hey, I know this is a weird and specific question and comparison but im stuck going back and fourth between the infinity reference series and the polk monitors (primarily the 5 and 7) for people that have heard both what do you think? my thing right now is - infinity reference fives have...

EDIT: I don't have to buy it all, I can just buy some A friend of mine has some inherited audiophile gear in storage; he's told me I can make an offer. They just kinda want it gone but don't want to put in the effort to find a buyer (no rush). I know that I'm going to get a few things, but...

Hello all, I’ve got a set of full range Canton CT120 speakers. I love them and they’re perfect, but I’m having a difficult time finding a center channel to match. I’ll be running it with a Denon 3600H AVR driving only the center speaker. I currently have a Boston Acoustics VR 12, which is a...

Hey folks! I have an old pair of Polk Audio RTi10 tower speakers that I got from my old landlord and are 10+ years old at this point. They are in pretty solid shape except for a blown tweeter, and one woofer that buzzes occasionally. It also sounds like there is some kind of sand or debris...

From Polk RT 16. I'm going for it. Need to make a 1/8 in notch. Almost a direct drop in fit. Bought them for 60 bucks the other day. Sold for $189 in 1973.

Would it be complete heresy to try to jazz up the bland black grills on my Polk Monitor 10's? I love the sound, but frankly the grills don't do a thing for me. I'd love to modify the grills with a lattice pattern or something to give them a little personality. Suggestions are welcome.
