    Yes a little north.
    Don't come down anymore on the price it's too cheap already.
    What you need is just a little time and exposure.
    I pulled up the map
    http://www.mapquest.com/maps?zipcode=64601
    And there it is Polk St.:cheesygrin:

    I guess if you list them on ebay you could put:

    "You will need to arrange and pay for shipping.
    I will happily work with the selection of the shipper of your choice"

    I'll be damned, MapQuest even has "the middle of nowhere" listed! Chillicothe, Mo. "The Home of Sliced Bread" :biggrin:

    I can't believe these are still available.:surprised: With all the mods done , someone needs to grab them. If I was closer I would have snatched them up already. GLWTS!

    Tempting... That may put me over budget though.

    Only you know what your budget is, but IMHO, you'd be getting speakers worth $1k or more.

    GLWTS. Wish these were closer to Indiana. You are outside of my roadtrip range--unfortunately.

    I've had no luck finding a way to get these home, I hope someone snags them soon so the temptation will be gone...

    Only one question, how often does a pair of SDA's in this condition ever come up for sale in "our" part of the country? I can answer that for you, NEVER, or VERY seldom at best. I've owned two pair that were within driving distance in the past eight years.

    I totally agree Mike, perhaps we could work out a deal including delivery :)

    For the moment, I will have to pass on bringing them to you. But, I will keep this option in mind. Never say never!

    Thanks for your interest, Mike

    Just a note, I've made a mistake in referring to the previous owner as "Stumpy" when his screen name is actually "stubby", sorry Paul.
    No worries, Mike!

    Great deal all around, as others have noted. These needed some visual TLC when I sold them to you but now they look fantastic!

    I just checked map quest and noticed that Kansas City is only 20 hours from Albany, NY, where I live! Any chance of meeting halfway? I know it is not possible but, seriously, I would drive up to 10 hours for these speakers! It is a great great deal and I am amazed these are still available!

    Ambi, I am booked solid the next 2 weekends but the third weekend out from today, we could probably arrange something. Shoot me a PM if you want to figure something out.

    Unfortunately I'm having some car troubles now and won't have the free cash I thought :sad:

    Thanks so much for your generous offer though, I really appreciate it. I sure hope these speakers go to a good home, they look absolutely wonderful.

    Thanks for the props, I am also amazed they are still here. Such SDA goodness at an entry level price.

    Yes, these are the early SRS 2's with the solid wood caps, blade/blade i/c, and single pair of binding posts. I believe the later version of the 2's had veneered caps introduced, along with a pin/blade i/c and a dual pair of binding posts (non TL-able). I "think" :biggrin:
