    Wow Tony, I'm so happy this worked out for you! Pin-blade CRS+; both better and cheaper to mod than the other versions, opens the door to iso transformer if you want to roll that way.

    I've got (minty!) CRS with the dimensional tweeter, I've got (minty!!) CRS+ with blade-blade, but you just got home with the best variant. Super awesome. No idea why but I couldn't sleep last night and ended up using SearchTempest for the first time in years; looked up a few terms including "SDA" and that ad popped up. $100 for *any* type CRS with stands is a screaming deal so I decided to post. Really happy a Polkie managed to snag them.

    Cool pictures and love your enthusiasm. Hope they're amazing for you.

    What about the moving blankets????? I thought we sat Tony down and had this talk before! :smiley:

    BELIEVE ME...I thought pretty hard about bringing a blanket and snuggling those guys up nice and tight and warm, I did! But then...I thought... I've got to get down there FAST!

    I used my speaker blanket to pick up those Pioneer CS-99A's and it's still with them, keeping them warm. Seriously. ;):)

    I also thought I could slip this purchase ( without the use of my moving blanket ) and post a lot of pictures. Flooding my posts with bridge, beach and ocean pictures. :D

    But you guys are to slick and alert! :'(

    Even the missing picture of the stands didn't go un-noticed. :D I love you guys! ;) Keeping me straight and alert and prepared ;) .

    @agfrost...I found my Pro-Ject Persex w/Grado Gold by looking at Eastern NC. Craigs list last summer. I only look at Eastern NC. CList once a year maybe!! The TT was on there for a couple weeks or 3 also. For 250.00. It might've been in Household or the reg. Electronics. I forget now but for 3 weeks it sat there. I had to make a road trip for 7 hours but it sure was worth it!!! Rare decisions bring up rare things sometimes...don't they! Miracles...is what I feel they are.

    I did hook these CRS's up today because it was just to nice outside not too. I was curious too, thinking maybe some speakers didn't work and that's why he priced them so reasonable.

    All the speakers work and work they do! Man...I forgot just how unbelievable these CRS's sound. I knew they were great but I had them in the same spot as the Pioneer's facing my back yard and the same receiver, a Nakamichi RE-10, gave these enough juice to rock the neighborhood AGAIN. :DB) Well, these 2 CRS's sounded like one Pioneer CS99A did last week. :D

    I really liked the sound I heard this afternoon! B) And they were just pointing into my back yard. :o They sounded well balanced and CLEAR.

    These are the last pics. on this set, I promise. :p:) The backs looked Minty. :D There was a slight bit of dust but NOTHING like I'm used to dealing with, with speakers this old. The front speakers had what looked like dust or even a little tiny bit of mold build-up on the horizontal planes but it wiped right off with a little Windex today. The speakers were tacky and made from a material I don't think I've seen before. They had what looked like a weave I think. A fine texture for the cones.

    I noticed more of the grill cloth was wanting to peel off but a quick gluing will fix those spots.

    My camera has a scratched lens and spots appear in some pictures. You can see them in some of these.

    Tony M,

    That was a very enjoyable trip by picture, and glad you got those speakers.

    I put this video on F1Nut's thread but it is more applicable on your road trip. Maybe you need a set of horns on your car as you travel to announce your presence.

    Harbor Freight sells "moving blankets" cheap. Maybe I need to buy some now and keep them in my trunk JUST for transporting my audio purchases. :p

    These look great! 9.00 but with 20% off coupon...7.20...not bad at all.

    I keep blankets in my car for two reasons....

    1. Car breaks down in the cold
    2. Transporting gear

    Or you could also go to the local thrift like I did and bring home a variety of them for very little $$. The wife's old bath towels also work well to wrap electronics for a safe journey home.

    Great price to start with.^^^

    Prices keep getting better and better the more people go streaming and wireless. :o

    When Bose came out, I bought a lot of great deals. I think this is the new dump of big audio speakers and gear. Maybe I should hit the old spots I used to frequent! :p

    They are pin blade and not quite as wide as my SRS2’s. Soooo tempting.

    I saw those. Beautiful! 👍🏻👍🏻 But I ain’t got that kind of ca$h.

    And now I have less ca$h... 😂 I couldn’t pass them up. I have no self control! And then there’s all of the enablers here... But I got a KILLER deal. I kinda hesitate to say what I paid. I talked them down a bit from the original listing... I will say it was way less than $600 @audioluvr. No interconnect cable, missing stock jumpers, and someone removed the tweeter waveguide flap thingies... They need a little cosmetic love but boy am I stoked! Might have a near perfect pair of 1986 SRS2's for sale soon! Will be fun to A/B them and decide!

    Congrats! I would've had to go look at them in person if they were near me also. ;)
    Again...First me, now you...A pin/blade model. Nice! B):p

    I also have SRS2's and haven't heard the preference from anybody I don't think as to which is better doing what when and where.

    I'll be waiting for your comparison and review results later on for sure.

    Sweet! Stock interconnect is a POS anyways! Speakon's and Dreadnought baby! Looks like an awesome project! If you can't find anyone local to fab you a copy of the waveguide, send me the one and I'll do it for you.

    tested them out last night and both SL3000's are blown. measure open across the terminals. no continuity.... :( threw in some 2000's to test and the crossovers are working, so i guess a pair of 198's are in my future... :)

    Sorry to hear those tweeters are bad. Looks like the upgrade to 198's will dig deeper into those pockets now or later.

    I guess the review will be a little longer in waiting. No problem though. I know the cash is tight right now.

    I ordered the 198's today. They’re not backoedered like the 194's... Hope to have them fully functional next week. Aesthetics can come later! And the rabbit hole gets deeper and deeper... 😂

    Pairs that have passed through: Monitor 4b (Peerless), Monitor 5a (Peerless), Monitor 5b (SL1000), Monitor 5b (SL2000) (4x pair), Monitor 7b (Peerless), Modified Monitor 7c’s (194’s), Monitor 10a (Peerless), Monitor 10b (5x pair), RTA8, RTA8TL, RTA 11T, RTA12c (194's), SDA1(mod to “a” & SL1000 Wuhan mod), SDA CRS, SDA 2 (2x pair), SDA 2a, SDA 2b, SDA 1b, SDA 1c, SDA SRS 2 (2x pair), SDA SRS 3.1TL (198’s) (2x pair)...and more to come, it’s a sickness.

    Looking forward to watching your rebuild. Any hints about the aesthetics makeover?

    Polk SDA 2.3TLs in Phoenix, AZ, just listed on CL. Great condition and price. Someone on here needs to jump on these asap. If they were anywhere near upstate NY I'd be on my way to get them myself right now. I have been looking for this model for some time. Hope someone on here near Phoenix runs and gets them! No affiliation.

    SDA 1C's in Elgin, Oklahoma, with RD0-194's, sound deadening in the cabinets, spikes and who knows what else. Currently $150 on the bay, but I bet a reserve has not been met. No affiliation, but some one here needs to get these.

    "Cow eye tweeters". Gotta get me a pair of them! Sounds like he needs to grow a set and tell the ol' lady how it's going to be! Of course what do I know, I've been divorced 3 times...
