I thought I was going to buy a nice pair of SDA 2Bs I recently saw for sale online and located only a few hours away from me but it seems like the Seller sold them to someone else.

I am still looking for a nice pair of SDA 2Bs, with interconnect cable, of course, preferrably located in the NY/Boston area (I live in Albany, NY, 3 hours north of NYC), but I am willing to pay shipping costs as well if shipping cost will not make the total cost prohibitive and if anyone is willing to ship thes speakers.

Thanks.

    Sorry to hear you missed out SDA's don't last long once they are up, the 2B's I got the same day they were posted, the guy said he had at least a dozen calls before mine, he said the first person that shows up with cash in hand gets them, he knew they wouldn't be around long good luck with your search.

    You will find a set. The SDA bug is mighty and I started with 2B's and they were great. Then I got the CRS+'s and now I have the SDA 1B's that are just like new. Those were shipped in the original boxes and packing material, and were delivered perfectly through FED EX! I had no problem selling the 2B's and just sold the CRS+'s on Saturday. Best of luck and you will love the 2B's.

    Sounds like a good deal for you pglbook.
    The fact they are already TLed and with tweeters and crossovers updated
    is well worth $250 of the $475 price :cheesygrin:

    Sounds great. I don't think those are the correct tweeters for an upgrade though?? Price is great either way. Heck, my 1B's have the original tweets and I'm loving all 4 of them. Keep us posted which way ya go. Isn't this SDA stuff sick??:lol:
