    Thanks @250GTLusso !
    I marked the carpet with duct tape so I could get the spacing right. All I can say is wow! The soundstage goes all the way to the adjacent walls and beyond! Imaging is blowing me away too! I'm hearing a lot of vertical and fore/aft depth never experienced before.
    He asked me - is this a 2-channel setup?

    The SDA SRS-2 looks like the precursor to my, I believe a year or 2 later, 2.3s.
    Nice looking collection for sure.

    Series 2 with the SL2500--could be given the RD0198 without modding the crossover. Nice price.

    Guy has them on eBay for $500 BIN. Rating of 98.5% is not a good sign IMHO. I don't do business on eBay with anyone with less than 99.5%. I still have burn marks from transactions with lower rated sellers.

    @TNTsTunes , you are probably correct, in that most likely they are SDA-1Bs.

    However they could be early SDA-1Cs. Would need to pull the drivers to see if they are MW6509's or MW6510's & MW6511's.

    I have an early pair of SDA-1C's in the new cabinet construction that have a blade-blade IC. So there were transitional speakers both ways.

    Oooo! Sounds like fun! We should inundate him with calls and texts! Some people just have no respect. If you advertise on CL it should be expected to get lots of window shoppers. If they don't call back that doesn't mean anything other than you didn't spark their interest enough to come look at it or they found something else or their old lady just wrecked their car or some unforeseen bs.

    OK. And I'll stop and get those RT3000P's and center in St. Louis too. :p

    But only get the RT3000Ps and center on the way back due to obvious serious gas mileage concerns! :#

    I'm sad but also soooo glad a lot of great deals are on the west coast. I don't have much more room to put them If I could go get them. :(

    Looks like the same guy that had some Revel F12s listed recently. His listing screamed "I'm an a-hole". Wonder if they truly want to sell this stuff. Maybe he wants to hold onto it, but his wife is nagging him. So he lists / acts like a jerk and nobody buys. "Well honey, I tried." Just a theory ....
