I'm now the proud owner of SDA SRS 2's. I'll post some pics once they make it to the cave, at 130lbs each, they made it in the door - I need a break.

Everything is *mint* and 100% original. More to come, but just wanted you guys to know if I'm gone from the boards for an extended period, I'm getting my listen on.

Isn't life effin GREAT? God I LOVE my life, I LOVE my wife, and I LOVE my SDA's.

Cheers,
'Floating on air' Russ

    Congrats! I wish I could find a pair. I would trade one or both pairs of the SDA 2B's. What amp are you going to be driving them with?

    $400

    Currently using and Adcom 555 200wpc, which is headed to Hoosier21 (Russ A), then, the amp hunt will begin, until then a Rotel 960 will pull duty.

    Cheers,
    Russ

Good luck seperating those magnets.......still can't believe that they jumped outta my hands.....

    Just did a rough setup, checked to make sure the Rotel could power them, which it seems to do with ease.

    No spikes, no wire mgmt, just a quick test, I'll clean it up later.

    Oh, and Brett, it was damn fine to meet you brotha. You are welcome here ANYTIME.

    Great addition there Russ. Mine are sittin here waiting on someone to buy a common ground amp. Where did you steal them from at $400. Thats a deal but I got ya by $50. If yours have the pin/blade config then you can use the A1 interconnect cable for non common ground amps and it would be post 1987 build.

    dorok- they are not for sale, hope that post didnt imply that. That someone Im referring to is me. Since the amp I did get happened to be a floating ground amp.

    Thanks for the kind words fellas.

    They are twin girls, and I'm buying a shotgun tomorrow, so don't any of you effers even *think* about doing a smash and grab. On that note, I told the lovely Brandy, that hell, if we ever got robbed, these might be the only things left.

    15inch PR, the pic doesn't really do justice, they are effin MONSTERS. I love everything, down to the little gold badge on the front with Matt's signature.

    Gid and Dor, couldn't have done it without you. You guys bought the gear that put this purchase 'in the bag'. I thank you for acting, and acting quickly, I mean that.

    Blade/Blade here, these are the originals, and for all intents and purposes, FRESH out of the box.

    Cheers,
    Rooster

    Jeez, can't forget to thank Russ A either. Now, let me show you how much of a tease I can be.

    What the **** do I do with my CRS+'s now? They can't stay here, gotta go.

    heh heh

    Russ you are a dawg, those are identical to the ones that I had and a pure pleasure to listen to even if they were a bit under driven being that I only had them powered with an 80 watt per reciever. I wish to hell and back that I had never let mine slip out the door and have kicked myself in **** over and over again for doing so. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did mine and congrats on the new additions to the mancave. P.S..... if you ever get tired of them you can always send them to Tn.:D



    Cheers,
    Mike

    ****, you KNOW where those CRS's are going to wind up. I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count.

    I hope gidrah and doro enjoy MY stuff.

    No problem Russ daddy, its all for the greater good, lets keep it in the family :)

    I am feeling a super inside Polk forum deal, which is how it should be, keep Polk in the forum if possible.

    This forum is the only genre that appreciates its own.

    Um....is your equipment rack leaning up against the rear wall? It looks kinda like it is standing only on the front two legs.
