    Polk SDA-2B for $160.
    Not sure about IC cable.

    I'd get them but can't bring anything that big in the house for a while.

    Pair of SDA-CRS+ with stands for $180 on Milwaukee Craiglist today. I would pick them up, but I'm trying to upgrade my preamp.

    No, don't think they are. They are (were) dark wood and I think he was upgrading the tweeters.

    May be that's why it's expensive.

    OMG!! He has them living in the garage!! :eek:

    Yup, those puppies belong to me, along with the blue Jeep (an 87 YJ with a 350 Chevy in it) and they have been stashed in my garage. I am doing a big remodel and keep lots of nice audio and house stuff in the garage. It's cleaner than many houses, nice epoxy on the floor, heated and the door only opened on sunny days. I have too much audio gear and they are too big to ship so I put them on craigslist looking for a local. If anyone here wants them we can work out some delivery.

    I'm surprised no one has bought the 1.2 TL's from you yet. Not sure if editing your CL title to say 1.2TL's instead of 1.2's would bring more attention to buyers but $1000 bucks for 1.2 TL's is a great deal! Believe me, if I was closer I would be the proud owner of 2 pairs. Here's the link in case anyone missed it. GLWS

    Just curious, but did you get those from Classic Stereo back in the day? I grew up and lived in Grand Rapids for most of my life and used to love going there and checking out the gear when I was a teenager. If I were still back there, I would get them. Tempted to tell my parents to buy them and drive them out next time they come to visit.

    SON OF A...I have a friend in Nashua who would be happy to pick them up and hold them for me but I told myself I am happy.

    I told myself that...

    Right?

    You can tell yourself that... but in the back of your mind you will always be left wondering. :) I think it's a good thing to be content with where you are at most of the time. Now I would have jumped on them, but that's me as I have been wanting to find a nice pair of 3.1TLs.

    Don't know about the quality of the "project" speakers he's talking about, but it looks like two pair of 2.3s for $600. One pair is the older 2.3 and the other pair is 2.3TLs. If you live in Kansas and want a couple of projects, might be a good deal.

    I contacted this guy months ago about these "project" speakers, he said he couldn't send me any pictures of the ones that were actually for sale. I gave up when he described his speakers as both pair being the 2.3 model and not 2.3TL's.

    I would proceed with caution to anyone who might be interested, just my thoughts, nothing more.

    Easy Runnin, those are SDAs. They look like SDA 1Bs to me.

    $200 is definitely a good deal for any SDA speakers!!
