    That is a sweet deal indeed for 2.3 TLs. I would jump all over them if they were anywhere close to me, but CA is just too far of a road trip from upstate NY.

    Any Polkies on the West Coast looking for some of the best SDAs, at a very good price, should grab these.

    Hmmm, I told him you Polkies would want pics. He said he was on this forum some years back.

    He also has a pair of DAHLQUIST DQ-10s sitting idle. Has sold all his Carver amps, only a CD player left in his rack.

    Having recently done a round trip of 1350 miles for a pair of 1.2TLs, yes, I know what you mean. For me, this would be a similar trip of around 10 hrs each way.

    ^ I was serious. If I sent you $20 via paypal, would you be willing to go by and get his approval to take pics? I'm wondering how bad the cabinets are and how many drivers would need replacing. The crossovers on the TL's seem to be a definite issue that would have to be redone, but all in all $500 for 2 pairs of 2.3's might be worth an long weekend trip.

    ^ I didn't figure you were pulling my leg. No need to PayPal. I'm retired & so is the seller. I've had a lift limit of 50 #s since 1978, so I won't be moving the 2.3s any distance. He thought they weighed 135#. I'll load batteries in my camera & give him a call . . .

    Hang on, you're in Johnson City! Home of East Tennessee State University's bluegrass music program? Any great concerts coming up? We have considered Johnson City as a place to retire. Any thoughts on that?

    This is about the third time this guy has listed these, every time I have ask him to send me some pics, every time, no response. I would buy these in a heart beat, but I'm not making the trip without some pics to back up what he states.

    Yes that Johnson City. I've got a friend in my church that graduated from that program and plays locally. Great place to retire for cost of living is reasonable, health care is better than average, no state income tax although local sales tax rate approached 10%. Be happy to talk to you about the area anytime- just pm contact info and I'll call you.

    A pair of 2b's in Chula vista could use a home... The price looks more than right, but may be even cheaper seeing as though they are in a pawn shop.
