    I've often wondered about the RTA line and those speakers. I have a set of 3.1's I picked up with a bunch of gear for $400. However things seem to be pricey in my area. I personally would offer $200.
    HT/2Channel: Emotiva MMC-1, Adcom GFA-555II, Polk SDA 3.1's, Teac TN-300 TT, Polk Center and Sub.

    Bedroom system: Carver CT-24, Parasound HCA-800II, Monitor 10's

    Additional projects: RTA 12c's

    Both of those are white van speakers :smile: buy the 15's & send them to me.. Both are very nice & worth the coin- SDA's for sure if you can power them

    $230.00 and you have to ask? Really? Pay the man and run before he changes his mind.
    the guy definately has the rap down like he's a member here.

    No, he doesn't otherwise he would have never said the following;
    Fortunately there are many great receivers for under $100.

    ^^^ Agreed^^^

    I own a set of 2B studios and un-modded they sound great. IMHO $230 is a decent price. Get there with full price in your pocket but try $190 for starters . . .

    ^^^^^^^^^ what he said. I paid $225 for my 2A's. More than any other Polk i have purchased other than my SRS and 1.2 TL's. I would gladly pay even more than that for another pair if i did not already own the 2A's. Get there with all the money and try for less but if they won't drop. pay them and leave and be happy. The best sounding SDA I have heard.

    Don't know anything about the 15's but i bet they sound good for regular speakers.

    Excellent price for some 2Bs that look to be in nice condition.

    As others have stated, run (don't walk) and get them!

    Hey thanks and appreciate all for the advise.

    I sent an email to the seller to see if I can get them tomorrow, after audition. Today traffic in that direction was a nightmare. I have been trying to get some SDA's for some time but no luck, most of the time I find myself traveling for work when they come up for sale.

    Last week was interesting lost a few good deals just by hours:

    Bruce Moore Companion preamp for $350.00
    Dynaco PAS-4 for $300.00
    AR9's for only $100.00

    Cheers..:')

    I think they are not the studios. At least he says they weight 80lbs and if I am not wright please feel free to correct me, the studios were 65lbs.

    As for the comment about traffic. A big-rig crash and lost a lot of oil, so there are 2 lanes close on a 4 lane highway not good in that direction on the Bay Area...

    Cheers

    Traded a mint pair for mint HPM 100s when I traded up to 1Cs. The 2Bs just resold for $350. I sold another pair, not as nice cosmetically, for $300. Both sounded fantastic.
