Don't know if these have been mentioned here before or not, thought they might be of interest to some.

    Looks like it might be a scam.

    They are being "auctioned" on eBay at the same time.

    Looks like this set doesn't include the rear channel speakers.

    But it will most likely be an incredible deal for someone local. I bet the shipping and crating could go many hundreds of dollars if they have to be shipped.

    Yeah, I noticed ZERO feedback on the seller, could be one to steer clear of.

    The seller lives in the same town as I do, so I sent him a message this morning asking if I can check them out.

    The Audiogon and Ebay list different cities, although they are within 15 minutes of eachother...

    I've done 129db with SDA at 3 meters.
    SRT For Life; SDA Forever!

    The SRT SEISMIC System:
    Four main satellite speakers, six powered subs, two dedicated for LFE channel, two center speakers for over/under screen placement and three Control Centers. Amaze your friends, terrorize your neighbors, seize the audio bragging rights for your state. Go ahead, buy it; you only go around once.

    This set has the rear channel SDA's which is a rarity to find. It only mentions one controller and I believe a second controller was required for the rear channels? They do rock for HT but IMO lack the musicality that the more vintage SDA's have....hence my decision to sell my SRT's and go with the 2.3TL's. A good sub (i.e. an SVS in my case) blends quite well and provides more than ample bass for HT.

    It's impressive that the SRT's can do 129db but the reality is that if you listen to them that loud, you may not be able to hear them for long! :eek:

    If anyone buys these, check the subwoofers carefully. The drivers had a problem where in many cases the spiders detached and had to be glued back in place.....and be sure you have a real amp to drive the mains. They are power hungry and never satisfied.
