    @TNTsTunes well done! That is a great price. And glad to hear they are staying within the CP family. Please send your opinion of them when you get them.

    Will do.

    They are going into a spare room that was my wife's and is becoming a den now. She wants the TV from my stereo room for it, I said sure as long as I can put a two channel stereo in it too. o:)

    They should be hooked up by mid afternoon.

    Congrats man! Thats a really nice score! Even worth driving into Chicago for :wink:

    Does she know how BIG the speakers are?

    Yes she does. I have 2.3's that she was expecting me to put in that room, hopefully it will be awhile before she notices the 2.3's are still in my stereo room and I acquired more BIG speakers and had a complete stereo system here to go with them. Both of those rooms are downstairs, her knees bother her, odds are she probably won't notice for a few months. She is working tomorrow so she won't see them arrive. :*

    My Blunder !

    I tried to copy your name and I was afraid to delete any more of the quote thingies.

    Maybe I can go back and edit it now. Nope, can't edit it now.

    I'll do that process different next time for sure.

    I own some Adcom amps and saw your collection of them.
    I own SDA-SRS2's and saw your collection of the BIG boys.

    I was just GOD smacked that somebody has so much set-up so darn well! ;)

    Impressive. ;)

    That's the way it is around here in a way. My wife doesn't like to go out to the man-cave very often. :p

    How'd the SDA SRS2 trip go today? My SDA 2B's are happy in their new home and playing music as we speak, in no small part to you and @tonyb .....

    Trip went well, the SRS2's are downstairs. Of course my wife decided to look for an old video in that room. She didn't say a word about them though. Amazing.

    Btw those are actually SDA 2A's you have. So how do you like the way they sound?

    She's probably just going to file that one away for when she wants something or something done around the house as an incentivizor.... Lol!

    You sure? They say SDA 2 and my understanding is they are really SDA 2Bs w 2 board crossovers.

    All the drivers are 6510's and they have the big bass caps that are used in 2A's. The caps for the stereo and dimensional drivers match 2A's also.

    A 2B would have 6503 stereo driver and a 6511 dimensional driver.

    They are 2A's.

    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.

    The monitors don't have ID tags so a little detective work is in order.

    I would say they are 4.5's and 2B studios as my guess.
