I am on the verge of picking these speakers up for $300.00. Can anyone tell me if they are worth the money being asked and if these speakers are even any good?
Thanks you all for your time. :)oe8e4jbgb6sp.png

    FWIW, the newer, single tweeter models (e.g. 2b's) are an improvement over the dual tweeter models.

    2b's for 300 is ok but not the older 2's in my opinion.

    I would pass on those also. I've heard a pair before and was not that impressed. There was a pair here in town recently for $125 at a pawn shop they had been there for quite sometime.

    If you wait for a better pair you would be better off unless they are impossible to find in your area, there are definitely better ones to be had at a more reasonable price if you have patience and look around.

    300 isnt too bad if there in nice shape, personally i'd hope to top out at 200-250 but it really comes down to how much you want SDA's and the amount of local availability in SDA sales in your area,Personally in my area in the last 6 years there has only been 3 sets for sale and I bought one of them
    [Make sure to get the interconnect cable that connects them if you buy them with out it there is no SDA effect]

    Dual tweeter and especially dual crossover board SDA's can be a money pit if they are bought with the idea of upgrades. If you are looking for a pair to live with I would keep looking. I bought a nice set of 2 A's for a yard and spent way to much doing the upgrades

    Where are you located OP? There may be a better deal to be had if you want a pair of sda's.
