Worth it I am sure, he has close to $500+ in tweeters alone. After that I can only imagine the internal mods.

I believe those are his father's speakers. I know he had a pair years ago that he tried to sell for a premium price.

I found a set of RTA11's and the guy said he had to have 600.00 for the pair. He was none too happy when I laughed in his face. For some reason a lot of folks think these are like fine wine and they appreciate with age. I offered him what I thought was fair 150.00 but he had just bought a set of Dynaudio speakers and he thought I was going to help him pay those Dyn's off his CC.
I inquired about those a couple days ago, but the seller never responded.
I can't tell how many times I've responded to CL ads more than once and never get a return reply. The one time I did I couldn't get off the phone fast enough. Then the guy hounds me for several days insulting and belittling me like that was going to make me throw cash his way....
I hate when I run into people like that. However, every now and then, you run into a really nice, and reasonable person, and they make up for all the idiots out there (well.....almost)

This is very true. Most people barely let you their houses and the transaction usually done in garage, mudroom or Florida room w/ it's own entrance. Then you get the one like I did when I bought my Rectilinerar Low Boys. The dude invited me in to his house and then his basement to oogle at all his gear then wanted for me to stay for dinner w/ the wife and kids and I had to say no, I'm going to hit all kinds of traffic and then I have unload the bulky 80lb speakers in the dark.
His gear and my Recs are posted in MHardy's This Joint needs some Vintage HI-FI
Asking 100 bucks, says they sound great. My dilemma is I picked up the exact model a couple of months ago. Thinking of picking them up to piece them out. Does anyone need any of the components from this model?
Not posting any prices as I don't own them, simply trying to see if there is any interest.

$3665.00 ?
I remember good sets going for 2K just a year or two ago.

1986 ... not the biamp 1987.
They do not appear to be selling on eBay at $700 - $1200.
Thanks,

The SRS 2s for $699 are mine. Completely updated and sounding superb and very little interest. One inquiry. I'd offer maybe $800 ?
This guy says that he is selling his collection of SDA's. Kinda pricey if you ask me. No affiliation. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/ele/5924178160.html
I'm willing to go in halfsies on the lot.
Living Room:,T+A PA 1530R, Tyler Highland H2, High Fidelity Reveal RCA, PS Audio Direct Stream JR.
Have but haven't used in a while: LH Labs VI Dac, Cayin SCD50T, Aries Mini, Grant Fidelity Tube Dac 11, W4S recovery.

Just a little stiff I think.
Belles 22A Pre, Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 2, Marantz SA8005, Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable, Pro-Ject Phono Box MM, Polk Audio SDA-SRS, AudioQuest Cable throughout.
I'd say at least $1500 high. Also, you'd have to spend another $400 for tweeters.
