    I'm not clear on driver lineage. The SDA Driver List (sticky) shows the 6503 is used in the original CRS, not on either version of the CRS+, but the back of the driver on E-Bay states engineered for the "SDA-CRS+" and looks to be from 1990:confused:

    That is confusing:confused:

    I tried to get 4 of them, but for some reason the system would only allow me to get 2. I messed up the first try and only selected 1. I went back to get more and was only able to select one more?? I sent him a message requesting 4 of them, we'll see what happens. At least I was able to get 2 to have as spares. Don't see these very often at a fair price.

    Thanks TFL for the notice:wink:

    A few weeks ago I picked up a pair of original CRSs for $90 (for parts if needed) but haven't removed the drivers to verify what they have.

    I just purchased 2 for spares on my 1.2tls. When I pulled up the listing it showed the seller had 7 left. Seller lists $8 shipping per speaker, but was reduced to $12 on checkout. Ends up being $30 per driver.
