I have a pair of SDA's I'm considering selling. Any thoughts as to what they're worth?

    Do they have a pin/blade or blade/blade IC socket? Are they studio or do they have the oak top and bottoms? Anywhere from 150 to 250 per pair. I personally am not aware of a pair selling for more than 300.

    Did you decide to ditch the 2Bs for some Bose satellites or maybe a soundbar for your TV?

    If you're sure they're 2B's, $300 in mint mint shape.

    Having a heck of a time getting them to work with the Marantz/ Yamaha power amp set up. No audio. Going to give it one more try this weekend.

    No audio only with the Polks? As in you've tried other speakers on the same setup and they worked fine?

    I don't understand what could be so hard. Connect RCA cables between the pre-out on the Marantz and the input of the power amp. You are connecting the speaker cables to the power amp aren't you?

    Are you getting sound with the speaker cables connected directly to the Marantz?

    I agree. I think I the receiver is bad. Tried hooking some satellite speakers directly to it and no audio. Tried different channels and outputs as well and nothing.

    sounds like it is bad. I would return it. If you purchased it from Amazon you can print a return label from their website and ship it back for free.
