    Just reread my PMs. They ARE INDEED 2As lol... my bad!

    So what do you think about how they sound? All they need to be fully pimped out is some RDO194 or a 5.8uf cap added so they can use RDO198's. The SL2000's still sound pretty sweet in them. I enjoyed them.

    They sound good. Wife like the way they looked good enough she let me put them in the MAIN room. I hadn't planned on that lol.....

    They aren't ideally located (7.25" off back wall and only 6 feet apart give or take), but they sound quite good.

    I dont think I will be adding in the cap, likely just going with 194's and then a couple other small things to them.

    I'm hoping that since my wife was ok with their form factor, that if we both really dig them long term I can upgrade to the larger ones like a pair of the SRS 2's, or even 1C's.

    But we will see. I'm running out of space along the wall with the subs my buddy's building for me that go either on the inside or outside of each of those speakers...

  • @TNTsTunes, glad you were able to pick up those SDA SRS 2s. How was their physical condition? They looked pretty nice from the photos (but photos can lie).

    How do they sound? Are you planning any updates right away, or are you going to let them settle in for a while?

    They are in pretty nice shape, there are a few scratches, one side panel is loose, the grill fabric needs replacement and one speaker dome has a small dent. The scratches are fixable, the fabric will be updated and I'll probably try to find a driver just because.

    Sound wise they are great. They are stock. I'm pretty impressed with them, they are keepers. Definitely nicer then 1C's sonically IMO. They pretty much give my 2.3's a run for the money.

    I have Larry's rings for them, dynamat extreme for the drivers and passives along with some blackhole already that they will get. I will be gluing the drivers and doing the dynamat right away. After my 2.3 are TL'ed and fully upgraded(just waiting on one inductor to start) I'll do and the rings, blackhole and cosmetic stuff to them. Eventually I'll do some RDO194's and the crossovers/binding posts too.

    @TNTsTunes, Sounds like we are living in a parallel universe. I too have a pair of SRS 2's as mentioned earlier as well as a stock pair of 2.3's. I have Larry's rings for both, new aluminum binding plates with xlr for the interconnect cables, Dynamat and plan on securing the magnets. I also put together two Dreadnoughts to use with them (800va and the 1000va) with Canare cables.
    To bad you're not in Phoenix or we could combine resources.
    Good luck with your projects!

    @TNTsTune, Also I saw you had listed blackhole which I did not know about. I did a quick search on it and will have to add that to the mix.
    Thanks
  • @TNTsTune, sounds like a great score on those. Regarding your comment that "one speaker dome has a small dent", do you mean the voice coil dust cap has a dent? I have used tape to pull those out before (I start with blue painters tape, and if that isn't strong enough for some reason, I move up to small strips of masking, and for the very rare case duct tape). Sometimes they pop back out on the first pull and peel, and sometimes it takes a couple tries (adjusting the angle that you are pulling as you go).

    I like the upgrade path. I have a pair of 2.3TLs that I am going to upgrade this spring. I have Larry's rings, locktite Power Grab, Dynamate Extreme, BH-5, Cardas CCGG-S binding posts (just arrived on Friday), and a couple 1KVA AL toroids from last years group buy that I still need to assemble. I need to acquire the RDO's, and some new fabric and then its off to the races!

    Looking forward to see your and @kmeek 's progress!

    They look walnut to me....
    Maybe my phone is distorting the color but they look much darker than oak.

    gotta love the description... "Great condition no defects that I can see"

    I see 3 pushed in dust covers and the screwed up fabric on the side panel from the one pic they took.

    Yeah, I noticed that. And the butyl rubber on the right speaker's lower dimensional woofer has two chunks taken out of it. :p

    And the woofer above that one has surround slices in it too, it looks like.

    800.00 or 700. ?

    yep but they have some torn surrounds as well not a 1100.00 speaker IMHO. If they do not have a cable to go with as well, then I'd be hard pressed to offer half that amount. I'd have to get eyes on them before any discussion could also have froze VC's

    Why is the right one higher off the floor? Good observation! Low water damage like you think is probably right. Warpage.

  • @Tony M , and @TNTsTunes you have sharp eyes! I didn't notice the tear in the butyl rubber surround until you said that. Not too worried about the dust caps on the voice coils, as I have pulled out countless ones of those. Going to need a new MW6510.
    @pitdogg2 I agree with you, not a $1100 speaker. $600-700 all day long though if they pass the VC test.

  • Update on the 2.3TLs in the LA area. Seller sent me these photos, which appear to show that they are Walnut, but the seller says "I believe the caps are Oak".

    I have also inquired about the torn butyl rubber surrounds.
