    I may be wrong but I think those are SDA-CRS + (Plus!) If so and even if not that is one phenomenal buy. it's also too good to true and dude seems to want a phone number.... Sorry, paranoid.

    Wait, you said 4th Gen. Doesn't that automatically make them plusses?

    ^^^These are my CRS+'s they are considered the 3rd generation ~1986, blade/blade interconnect, one SL2000 tweeter, both MW are 6510's. Has the split crossover (same as 2A's of same year.) They cannot be TL'd without new MW driver, crossovers etc. Too expensive, I just enjoy them occasionally. I bought them kind of locally for $140.00 around 2012. They came with the Polk stands which is why I drove 140 miles each way for them.

    The fourth and last CRS generation and second CRS+ iteration, has a pin/blade interconnect, one SL 2000 tweeter, one crossover board (sames as 2B's), two different MW drivers (6510 and 6503 I believe) and can easily be TL'd. The ones in the CL ad for $150.00 are this version.

    140 miles each way? Lucky you, I drove 350 miles each way for mine. Well, in all honesty I drove from Southern California to the Bay Area for a few other items as well.

    Mine were 4th generation as well and the original stands were also included. The stands is what made the deal as they don't come up for sale too often.

    When I sold them a few years ago, I immediately had sellers remorse. Oh well such is life.

    When there is a pair of CRS+ for $150, and a pair of 1C's for $350 and have yet to move, it seems it is a sign of the times.
    It don't seem like a lot of audio gear is moving like it used to..

    I agree! I have several pairs of speakers I want to move along. Listed way below value, I think anyways, and nobody interested. Like a dead MINT pair of Infinity RSIII's for $300. I did mange to sell my pretty minty pair of Polk 7B's a few weeks ago for $150.
    --Gary--
    Onkyo Integra M504, Bottlehead Foreplay III, Denon SACD, Thiel CS2.3, NHT VT-2, VT-3 and Evolution T6, Infinity RSIIIa, SDA1C and a few dozen other speakers around the house I change in and out.

    Well, CL isn't what it used to be, at least based on my recent experience in my area. I posted the same ads on CL and FB and had much more interest/sales on FB.

    In this case, they inform the IRS.

    Even if it's just the right passive and a pair of stereo and sda drivers, that's worth it if local.

    Annnnd, if someone wants to experiment, all they need are the magnet structures from the tweets for Wuhans.

    I've got beautiful spares now. I don't need to scrounge =)

    After looking at them closer on the big 'puter, they are the SDA-1F's.

    I must be the class fool then because I would buy them because they are in that bad of shape just to fix them all the way back up really nice. Save them you know. I feel sorry for them. Now, all of you can feel sorry for me but that's my gig. I love a beater.
