    Is there? It doesn't hurt to be specific for those of us without the knowledge others have. Also, are these the TOL SDAs, and is that a good price, or too high?

    It appears to me that he has 2 rights. What do you guys think. It might be my eyes,,before I buy- I would definately check out the backs.

    I think its a pic of the same speaker! Look at the blue shirt on both pics, on the corner of the dresser.

    ok---- then I would insist on seeing the left one--- you might laugh,, but it's been done before(some guy trying to sell two rights or 2 lefts) Usually when I sell a pair-- I post pics of both--- I sent him a message requestiong the pics of the backs of both speakers, Let's see if he does.

    Yes, there do need to be a L/R pair. However, the two pictures are the same speaker from different angles.

    So, are these the TOL SDAs, and is the price okay, or to high?

    I think the price is a wee tad high--but I would have to see them up close and personal before I paid his asking price--if they are pristine-all drivers functioning,and I wanted them,, then 750 might not be bad at all--considering the sound you are gonna get--so the price/performance ratio is very good(based on the upstream components)

    It's a lazy seller that only posts 2 pics and both of the same speaker. Not to mention he's got it toed in. :rolleyes:

    I guess if that pair doesn't do it for ya, you can pop on these http://www.ebay.com/itm/5th-Generation-Polk-Audio-SDA-SRS2-3TL-Reference-Speakers-/121245774843?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item1c3acfb3fb

    Makes the 2.3's look pretty good, price wise.

    His comments raise a red flag.
    Speakers have the upgraded tweeters, a four hundred dollar option when they were new!

    Interconnect cable is not included as these speakers have never used that connection.

    The 2.3TL's came with SL3000's, there was no upgraded tweeter. The fact that he doesn't have the IC cable means he's never heard what those speakers can do and certainly gives pause to his claim of being the original owner.

    George, I think that was at least the second time that particular pair has sold http://www.ebay.com/itm/Polk-Audio-SDA-SRS-2-3-Excellent-Condition-Arizona-Pickup-/181260616627?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item2a33f983b3&nma=true&si=JYCiphIXCjgxlzIEpDahz%252BOKhSY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    Notice the pictures and description are the same, but the location was in Az.

    Good detective work Mike, but they didn't sell, the ad expired. Regardless, some funny business going on there.
