So this is the 3rd set of SRS 2.3's I have seen for sale in the last month in the Portland area. I have yet to hear a set and am wondering how these would compare to my 1C's. Anyone here have a set they'd be willing to share some insight?

Must have, here's a set of 2.3tls, Monterey again. Silly price. The ones in Kansas on Ebay went for $660, but not even I could justify a 3k round trip to go get them.

Considering that the big boys didn't come around until mid 80's the answer would be no they didn't sell any. -

I remember auditioning the big boys in our stereo, TV and record store when I was young. YOUNG!
So I guess I missed it by 1/10 of my age.
I do remember seeing 86 on some mid-woofers of my SRS2's or CRS's now that I think about that.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
