    Yeah, the big guys definitely take up some room, xjghost! They need room to breath too, because you're going to want to use the volume knob. ;-)

    Alan, nice collection. I've kind of came to a standstill on mine for the past months. I have 8 pairs of MP designs as well, though different models. The big boys definately need room to breathe, but when they can, it sure is nice. Haven't been on in a while, just thought I'd check things out. Since the site changed a while back and people got lost, I kind of got bored with the forum. Seeing you guys excitement, kind of rubs off on me.

    Still shopping here.
    I have 3.1tl, 2.3 non tl, and a set of SRT's
    Still looking for t pairs. 2.3 tl's and 1.2 tl's
    Then there are all the mods to do. Saving up for Vr3's mod for the 3.1tl's before he closes his doors for good.
    Next big purchases are going to be in the electronics world. More amplifiers. I wish I had been close enough to buy Kenneth's Threshold SA/12e's that were up for sale on here. But 3K mile is just a little too far to drive.

    Thanks, Mr Bubbles! I went a little crazy back in 2010-2011 buying a bunch of sets of SDAs. I don't regret it though. :-) Amazing speakers for the price...

    I'm tempted to add these to my collection, but probably shouldn't:

    Not sure which version, but might be worth a look if you're in the area.

    Yep.
    If those we tl's with all of the mods including the Monastary crossover I would even fly there to see to the crating.
    They would be worth a whole lot more than the asking price.
    But some dreams are just too unrealistic.

    ^^^I have seen these SRS's. In great shape but bone stock. They originally started at $4000 now down to $2000. Still too high in my opinion. I made an offer a while back but not near the asking price. (like I need another pair of SRS's).

    Ender - Nope, I don't have the entire set yet. I'm working on it! ;-) As for my collection of vintage Polks, I think my current list is:

    SDA-CRS+
    SDA-1C
    SDA-2B
    SDA-2.3
    SDA-SRS (the original big ones, 2 pairs)
    Monitor 5
    Monitor 7
    Monitor 11t

    <scratch head> I think that's it. :-D

    I can store some of them for you. ;)

    I have gone through loads of Polks but not much at the moment.

    Looking at some rta 11t's for 70 bones. Look to be in very good condition for sale by the original owner. Is this a fair price?

    Here in the Southeast I have seen two pairs of SRS 2s on CL for around $700 to $800.
    I assume that they sold as they are no longer listed.
    Is this where they should be priced today?

    I, as many of us have SDA-2's that look new, perform better than new, for less than half the price of these. He was asking $1495.00 for them

    Let's not get confused between the SDA 2 and the SDA SRS 2. The SDA 2 (not 2a or 2b) is one of the least desirable of the SDA line. The SDA SRS 2 is one of the most desirable.

    I really never realized there was just a SDA-2 designation. Learn something new all the time here. I guess that makes these new ones on EBAY worth about $150-200.00....lol.

    These look like the last iteration, if so, these can be TL'd. The asking price is equal to 16.3636 mint julep's, based on last year derby price of $11.00 each. Go buy 'em!
