    Thanks. I was thinking they were an SDA but could not remember which one they were.

    It's local to me, but I just don't have the money or the room for them. The ad was posted April 18th so they are probably gone already anyway. Heck of a deal, though. Looks like a CS400 center. If you wanted, you could sell off the center, the AVR and the sub and get most of the money back probably.

    Ok it is the 3.1tl's but he does not have the interconnect cable. How expensive is that? Can it be gotten?

    They are mine. Sounded good to only be powered by that tinny Onkyo. Look decent IMHO. Now I need a interconnect cable.

    Only the Pin is active and needed the blade is just for extra support. I used an old RCA Video Cable Till I got around to making up one with heavier gauge wire. Just break off the outer shell so the pin goes in far enough.
    I use my tinny Onyko 808 it sounds fine:lol:

    SWEET! I don't know jack about these things. Just know when I was in the market back in the day.... 1987 or so... and bought some Monitor 10's that I am listening to right now.... the store had some of the bigger ones and I have always wanted a pair. Now I know why old school comic books are so expensive.

    Ok so I got it hooked up. MY turntable has an RCA issue. Talk about panic. I moved everything and set it all up and only had sound from one channel! :cry: After some investigation I narrowed it down to the RCA on my Technices 1400. Hopefully tonight I will get to really listen to them. Unfortunately the only space I had to set it all up together was in my dinning room area. Some people have sidboards in theirs I have a set of Polks... LOL! So the vinyl system I have put together is these Polk's, a Hafler 500 $100 repair, the Technices 1400 $75.00, an Onkyo Preamp P-301 $71, an Onkyo Tuner T- 4010 $10.25 and a Sherwood DS - 10 for my Ipod $29.99. I'd like to get my Carver DTL - 100 fixed but that will have to wait. Not too bad I don't think.
