Okay, just picked up a BAT VK500 amp to power my week old to me, SDA SRS 2.3's. I think this will be a pretty good match but it is not a common ground amplifier so I thought I would check to see if someone had one they wanted to sell or had the transformer to build one that they wanted to sell. If not I guess I'll be looking to pick up a transformer from Avel. I know that there was a. Group buy on a little better one from them and was curious if someone had one laying around that they decided not to use. Thanks for the help

    I don't have one to sell, but one of my Dreadnoughts is made with a Toroid Corporation of Maryland transformer, and it works very well. It is only a 670VA transformer. They sell arger ones and deliver very quickly.

Power source for all components: Silver Circle Audio Pure Power One with dedicated 20 amp circuit to main panel.

    Exercise Room, Innuos Streamer via Cat 6 cable connection to PS Audio PerfectWave MkII DAC w/Bridge II, AQ King Cobra RCAs to Perreaux PMF3150 amp (fully restored and upgraded by Jeffrey Jackson, Precision Audio Labs), Supra Rondo 4x2.5 Speaker Cables to SDA 1Cs (Vr3 Mods Xovers and other mods.), Dreadnaught with Supra Rondo 4x2.5 interconnect cables by Vr3 Mods. Power for each component from dedicated 20 amp circuit to main panel, except Innuos Statement powered from Silver Circle Audio Pure Power One.

    2.3's or 2.3tl's? I don't believe you can use the dreadnought with the 2.3's. if the 2.3's are blade/blade then no you cannot use the dreadnought..

    The 2.3's are pin/blade.

    PM me if you are interested.
