Hello,
I currently live in Southeastern France but will be moving to Austin, Texas next year.

I have a small bookshelf system here: Denon receiver and CD player and Mission speakers.

I sold most of my Texas system before the move 18 years ago since it would not work over here.

The exception was my beloved Polk SDA SRS2s. They were stored at my mom's until she passed then I stored them with a trusted friend.

Found out 4 weeks ago that his wife made him give the speaker away. I traced them to a charity resale shop in Houston but they were long gone.

So I found the forum by looking for Polk SDAs for sale in Texas.

It has been a pleasure to read the threads starting with one about the SDA 1Cs and their wonderful sound. The person was located in Houston.

I truly loved my Polks. They were musical instruments not electronic devices.

I love old rock, classical, ancient. Still have all my LPs in storage. Still there I checked.

I am looking to replace the Polks. The man who gave them away will pay for the replacements.

I will rebuild a State side system with vintage components. Looking for a Pioneer receiver that can drive the Polks and a Denon single CD player.

Thank you for having me here and I look forward to many conversations.

Hello Joseph. Welcome from me too.

I hope you find the Polks you want when you get back. Keep us briefed on the rest of the system as you put it together. We'd find that interesting. Some photos would be good too.


Enjoy AOS,
Geoff.

Many thanks Walpurgis.
Actually I am looking for the replacement Polks now. So if anyone here has a lead I would appreciate it. Preferably is Texas because they are too heavy to ship.
Working on sorting the rest of the system also.
Joseph

When are you heading back to Austin? "next year" is not far off Joseph.

Have bought a house and looking at March, 2015 for the move.
I have friends in Houston, San Antonio and Austin who can pick up good kit if I find it.
