2.3's for sale nearby... thinking about jumping in, but he's done a bunch of things to the cabinets that I'm feeling a little leery about. He added 3/4" MDF to the interior sides and baffle, then added more bracing, then lined it with what looks like Noico... all reducing internal volume... Drivers are Dynamatted as well. Terminal cups and interconnect have been modified. Crossovers are stock.
Thoughts?
Current Collection: Monitor 4a (Peerless), Modified Monitor 7b (Peerless), RTA15TL (SL3000), Full mod SDA CRS 4.1TL (198’s), SDA SRS 2.3TL (198’s), R100's, R200’s, R300 🤩 -

That's pretty out there. For one thing, it seems like the extra 3/4" of MDF on the inside of the baffle would substantially occlude the basket frame windows on the MWs. For a passive radiator system that could have negative effects, not to mention the internal volume being reduced significantly. I sure wouldn't pay that much, at least not without some serious listening tests.George / NJ

Good lord..

I'm pretty sure those are just 2.3's. The photo I'm posting shows the SDA SRS 2's. The ones for sale
don't look like they are altered SDA SRS 2's. The ones for sale are P/B. The SRS SDA 2's did come in both P/B and B/B. They're missing jumper cables on the binding posts. I have the 2.3's (non TL's) I'll have to look at my model labels, they may just say SDA SRS 2 also.

No Affil.
First time I've seen the fairly rare LF-14 bass module in my area.
With older 5 Jr's with fuses and SL-1000 tweeter.
For only $500.00.
Me thinks I'll pass at this price. Would like the LF-14's for my collection though.

That is a killer sub. Will go very low. Even for HT use. Very hard to find. Someone please jump on that. -

Sure looks like a bastardized SRS2 to me (I have those) ... those added mid woofers look awfully strange, and a third SL2000 under the two where they are normally.aprazer402 wrote: »I'm pretty sure those are just 2.3's. The photo I'm posting shows the SDA SRS 2's. The ones for sale

I did find that in Gimpod’s ID compilation ... indeed proper designation is SDA SRS 2.3 (w/ 3@SL2000’s ... the TL uses 3@SL3000) and those two add’l drivers are MW6513 ‘sub-bass drivers’ ... learn something new everyday ... I’m good for the rest of the day now 😁
