I've got a project starting for my CRS+'s but there is pair of SDA2's for sale nearby (got to plan for the future:) for $375. These are generation 2 or late 1's I believe. They have 2 tweeters and 3 midrange. No fuse on the binding post plate. They are in great shape- what do you think?

    Spend that money on upgrades on your CRS+. Seriously, you don't want those.

    F1 is correct here, you would be wise to upgrade the CRS+. You will be much happier with them over that particular model SDA2.

    The CRS+ are much better and the Sda 2 are too expensive, $250 tops, if they were 2B then I would say yes
