I've been looking for quite a while for a pair of SRS for my system and I finally found a pair but im not quite sure what the going rate is these days. It seems they are an original set with blade/blade connectors and they are in pretty good shape cosmetically and electrically.
System Details:
Marantz SR 5010, Rega RP1, Marantz CD 5004, Denon DRR-680, Carver M-4.0t
Polk SDA 1C (modified), Definitive Technologies BP-10, Polk Audio CS400i

    I paid $400 for my pin/blade version that were in very good shape. They had a small ding in the top right wood panel and a couple of small holes in the grills. Other than that, they were in excellent condition.

    I wish somebody would snatch them up! They have sat for over a year and have not even been used. I am glad I'm not desperate for money, I just don't use them anymore. Maybe someday I'll get back into music.

    Sold my SRS2's 2 years ago for $650. They were in excellent condition. SDA's in our area (Wisconsin) usually sell on the higher side as they don't come up too often. If they're in good shape I'd say $650 if they're close.

    You hit the nail on the head there about finding them anywhere near local. Back when these were made we had a Polk dealer but they were a bit on the high side price wise so dont find too much used now.

    would love to but do not have the requisite post count yet and need to find a bigger vehicle for transport since i dont think transpoting them on their side would do too well.

    I drove 14hrs. to buy mine. Hauled them in a Ford Edge laying on their sides with no problem. Had a lot of blankets and carpet padding to protect them on the journey home. I was very careful driving them home, no fast turns or sudden braking. You are not to far from your 100 post count if your interested!

    Thanks for the plug! Going to store them in the closet this weekend. My lust for music has died. Maybe someday it will return.

    I might have to contact you in a couple of weeks about those if they're still available by then. Would have the cash right now if it weren't for the fact my significant other wants to see Soundgarden next week and I also have to pick up tickets for Testament for her birthday. I got her hooked on concert going a few years back so i basically have to spend a couple of hundred the next couple of weeks between tickets, fuel and parking. So I basically have to wait for my tax returns for the remainder of the cash I would need to acquire them and of course pay for the 2 tanks of gas I'd need.
