I just realized, my SDA-SRS 1.2s have been with me for 25 years now! I haven't played them for a few years but its time to change that. They are set up in a bedroom, just need an amp and a source hooked up and I'm ready to roll! Will they still be as exciting as they were last time I heard them? I'm betting the answer will be YES!
Vinyl, the final frontier...

Avantgarde horns, 300b tubes, thats the kinda crap I want... :D

    Congrats MM, bring them to life and I hope they make it another 25 yrs. :) My SDA/SRS2's p/b , have been rock solid for 28 yrs. I'm convinced any gear I buy new now would never hold up that long. They just don't make 'em like they used to.

    Is that what happened to your organ?

    I sold the Carver Amazing after a quarter-century of use.
