    They should be priced between 150 and 200 dollars to get my attention.

    I'm sorry they wouldn't ever get my attention with the exception that I'd remove the drivers for my SDA1 Signatures.

    350 is far too high

    Unfortunately these are at the bottom of the food chain in SDA’s, along with the original CRS’s, not highly sought after like other models, I agree on the $150-$200 range..

    They would have a better chance at $350 parting them out..

    Those desirable 2B's look in pretty good shape. The color of the end caps is not original though.

    Yep, some dark brown stain or even black paint wiped back leaving most of the paint in the grain. Looks like crap, IMO.

    I think that's walnut but someone put something on it that enhanced the grain way too much. Probably could be made better with some effort.

    That is oak, not walnut.

    So the seller has upped his price to 400.00 delivered to my door. It was 350.00 and I have only seen pics that I posted nothing like hands on. Oh yeah no interconnect cable either.
    Thoughts?

    Pin/blade equates to SDA 2b.

    Thanks but now the owner said sorry his mistake they are blade- blade interconnect cable. Would they most likely be sda 2a or is the only true way to tell is to open them up verify 2a or 2b by seeing what numbers are printed on the driver magnets?

    They could still be 2B's. I bought a set of black studios very cheap and I assumed they were 2A because they were blade/blade. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened them and discovered the correct 2B drivers and single crossover board (2A has dual board crossover).
