    They look brand new. Look at that shine on all the woofers! WOW.

    I think it's a great deal if no woofers are froze up. And still, if one was it's not a deal breaker at all. Those look GREAT!

    Thanks @Tony M . I can't tell exactly from the pics, but the IC looks like a blade/blade. Did they have a blade/blade design on the SRS's?

    Original SRS's are blade/blade and that is a killer deal. Somebody should jump on those quick.

  • Unless something is truly wrong with them, that's a great deal for some awesome speakers! Some might say "But they're not TLs". I say "BAH, who cares?!" They are amazing speakers, TL or not, and you can't touch speakers of that quality and size for $1000 these days...

    I spoke to this guy a while back, price reduced from 6 hundie. He replaced the tweets and other minor mods. Just a bit too far away from SE michigan. He wasn't interested in meeting me 1/2 way either.

    Oooo that isolation cable is worth 100.00

    and it's already in the bag because he can't use it with his tweeters.

    Tweeters have nothing to do with that cable and it is designed for 2.3's which all are pin/blade designs.

    I missed the foam, those are SL2500's in that case and are incorrect for that speaker. They don't replace SL2000's.

    SL3000's also have the foam ring. I have a pair and I too had originally thought only the SL2500's had the foam until I was told different. I actually had to go look at them. :blush: I didn't think I was distracted by shiney things :p

    The shine on these look like SL3000.

    Polk. My RS-II didn’t really do very well with rock and roll at all.

    They do good with vocals and instruments though

    Tweeters have nothing to do with that cable and it is designed for 2.3's which all are pin/blade designs.

    Wrong again junior you see if you remove the cable you can use sl2500's I tried it on my sda2's. If you connect the cable the tweeters get totally screwy.

    Hmmmm
    I think somethings wonkie .......
    The cable has nothing to do with the tweeters. The tweeters are not in the SDA circuit not since there was blade/blade cable and dimensional tweeters.

    The AI-1 cable was made for all pin/blade SDA's whether or not the had sl2000,sl2500 or sl3000 tweeters
    That cable could also be used on a select few blade/blade speakers with the proper adaptor piece. Once again none had dimensional tweeters.

    If you used it on SDA2 speakers with the dimensional tweeters i bet it did get wonkie since they are a Blade/blade design and that cable was never made to be used with those to begin with since both blades carry a larger bandwidth signal that the pin/blade does not.

    Wrong again junior you see if you remove the cable you can use sl2500's I tried it on my sda2's. If you connect the cable the tweeters get totally screwy.

    Try again.

    You are comparing apples to oranges... SRS 2.3's don't have the wonky SDA tweeters like early SDA 2's do.

    Mathew Polk stopped using dimensional tweeters after producing the early SDA's like you have. He did it for a good reason too.

    When discussing 2.3's the tweeters have nothing to do with the interconnect cable, just like I previously stated....

    I'm not saying it's perfect at all but it makes music if you have destroyed 2000's for example.

    My question is why. SL2000's aren't hard to find, I have well over a dozen of them just laying around in boxes.

    The SL2500 is not the correct upgrade for the SL2000, and they are not compatible with your crossover.

    They are your speakers however and you are free to do whatever you'd like to with them.
