    looking for a good amp to drive these with along with the rest of my speakers.

    will a XPA-5 be good with the SDA SRS 2.3TL's?

    JHC Mole, you're getting a really nice pair of speakers that deserve better than that. As for mods and stuff, stop posting for awhile and get your search on. There's a ton of that info here.

    Check out the Vintage Denon POA series Power Amps. I am using a POA-2400 with my SDA-SRS and they seem to work well as a package. And the amps don't break the bank either.

    2.3 TLs are fabulous SDAs. Power them with a high quality, high current amplifier and you'll be set and smiling for a long time to come.

    As far as upgrades/updates/tweaks go there is more information here about them. All you need to do is spend some time searching and reading. If you get stuck on a search I'm sure someone will point to the right thread you need.

    1) Tweeter, Driver, and PR Brackets from Larry
    2) Dynamat all the Metal Baskets
    3) JB Weld the Driver's

    Sonicap doesn't make an 16, use two 8's instead. Total of six 8uF.
    Sonicap doesn't make an 18, use two 9's instead. Total of four 9uF.
    Mills doesn't make a 22.5 ohm. Use a 10 and 12.5 instead. Total of four each.
    Don't forget the .5 ohm to replace the poly. Total of two.

    Yeah ok. He told you what the schematics call for. I gave you what you need to order to match the values on the schematic.

    I didn't think they could make a 15 turn into a 16, just smaller differences like the 5.6 to a 5.8. At least, that's what I remember Jeff saying.
