I just missed a set of SDA SRS for $575 and a set of RTA-15TL for $150 so I'm getting seriously upset now. One way or another I'll get what I'm looking for within reasonable cost of course..

If anyone in Canada has the SDA series or a nice set of RTA 15TL's for sale please give me a shout.

Preference is:

SDA-1C (Real Wood)
SDA-2B (Real Wood)
SDA-CRS+ (Real Wood)
SDA-SRS < - - - - - - - Really Really want
SDA-SRS 1.2
SDA-SRS 2
SDA-SRS 2.3
SRS 1.2TL < - - - - - - - MUST HAVE
SRS 2.3TL
SRS 3.1TL
RTA-15TL < - - - - - - - Need for side channels
RTA-11TL
Monitor 12


If you see anything is Canada for sale please let me know. This is turning into an obsession now that I've been bitten by the 1B's I have.

It's a really sad state when a set of factory speakers this old can sound better than a set of $7000 klipsch I listened to earlier this summer.

Help me out here Polkies. I'm hooked now and have to complete my mission before I hit 60. I'm 48 now.

Once found I'll probably turn into a nod monster if you know what I mean.

Now to deal with the wife. Fortunately my daughter is on my side LOL

    Couldn't you buy them in the U.S. and bring them home? Buying them used, wouldn't any tariff be nominal?

    I haven't done so recently, but on the few occasions when I have purchased something in Canada and brought it back to the U.S., I've declared it, and the border guard didn't bother to assess the tariff.

    But if you got them for more than 30% off what you'd likely pay for them in Canada, wouldn't you come out ahead?

    I know. Our government is a joke. They would let you smuggle guns before they would ever let you get away without paying tax. The Tax N A Z I in Canada are narcissistic freaks.

    nbrowser how are you planning on using the Monitor 5 Jr+ for center?

    I tried my Monitor 5A as a center and it sounded off compared to the CSiA4 I currently have. Not completely happy with the CSiA4 I have now.

    I'm trying to score a Meadowlark center for $200
