IC: SDA CRS+/2B Stock XO Boards, parts

Just wondering if there's a market for this stuff, before I go taking pics, etc. I've fully overhauled a pair of CRS+'s, I know I can sell the SL2000's and the SDA cable, but wondering about all the other parts. I've got all the inductors, both the big 16mH as well as the small ones that mount on the board. Plus I've got the boards, binding posts, caps, and resistors. I've got the polyswitches too, but I believe you can get new ones from Polk for about a buck, so I'm sure no one would be interested in those. No idea if people buy this stuff or not. Anyone interested? Not looking to fund my kid's college tuition with this, but I don't want to throw any of this away before checking if anyone needs anything.
Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

lets see what ya got. I have been pondering the thought of modding a pair of monitor 11's into a pair of SDA'sMain system:

hows that work? -

Someone did a similar project, actually. If I recall, the Monitor 11's are a single tweeter, with side by side MW's, and a front-mounted passive radiator, in a cabinet that's larger than the CRS+ but considerably smaller than a 2B. I'm not a huge fan of leaving the reservation and inventing one's own configuration, but it's not an outrageous idea if you use the correct crossovers and drivers.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing.

So basically you're just using the cabinet? To me it seems like a whole lot of work for little gain, but i've been wrong before and will be wrong again.
just let me state outstanding work Neil and what a GREAT B-day gift to yourself...cheers -

Not sure if it will. Just seemed like it may be fun to experiment.Main system:

First pic, you can see I've got all the inductors you'd need to make a 2B/CRS+ crossover - the two big 16mH's along with their mounting bolts, and the six that go on the boards. You can also see the boards themselves, mostly dissected, a bag full of stock binding posts from the three sets of SDA's I've modded over time. Then I've got a bag full of components that I've collected over time, including everything you'd need to put these crossovers back together. Call it $40 shipped for all of this stuff, via Priority Mail in CONUS, paypal as gift. These crossovers pair up to the SL2000, I've got two of those for sale in a separate thread, as a pin/blade cable.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

The standoffs that mount the board to the inductors are pretty rough, but they sell them at mouser I believe.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

Neil,
Nice work on the CRS's! I have a pair of the early dual board CRS+'s and am redoing the crossover's using Tony's boards (Sonicraft just started their usual 20% off sale) and also modernizing everything...converting from blade/blade to pin/blade...changing out the 6503 MW's to 6510's/6511's and replacing the small inductors w/Jantzens. Unfortunately, the dual boards don't use the large 16mH inductor and I don't want to shell out the $$ for the Solen's at this time (I did use the Solen's on my 1.2tl's and will upgrade the CRS's later). Would you be interested in selling just the two 16 mH inductors?

Sure, let's call it $25 shipped via Priority for the pair? They're heavy, so the shipping will be a few bucks. I'll send you the mounting bolts as well.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

16mH inductors are sold to JayCee. The remaining items are still available. I would sell the 2B/CRS+ boards, the smaller inductors, the binding posts and the board components together for $25 shipped.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

Neil,
The box arrived Saturday and everything's in good shape. Now, on to ordering the caps and resistors.
Thank you,
John
FEEDBACK: nspindel (Neil) was a pleasure to deal with. Great correspondence, quick/safe shipping and he added some bonus caps/resistors to use in my upgrades. Two thumbs up if you're looking to purchase from him.➀Speakers: Polk1.2tl's (Uber Mods) ➁Pre/Amp/DAC: PS Audio BHK Signature & 250, DirectStream ➂Cables/IC's: MIT S1Bi-Wire/S1 Balanced +Avel Lindberg 1000VA "Dreadnought" ➃Power Conditioner: PS Audio P15 Power Plant ➄Power Cords: Core Power Technologies Gold, DH Labs Power Plus DIY w/Neotech NC-P301 & P311ends ➅Streaming: Roon ROCK on wifi'd NUC, TP-Link WAP, & Uptone EtherREGEN, AfterDark, Emperor Double Crown Clock, Black Modernize LPS, PS Audio AirLens⟿Ω☯☥☮⟿🔊♩♪♫♬♩♪♫♬♩♪♫♬ -
