    I was the high bidder the first go around on these. I see he has lowered his bin and added free shipping. Last pair I won came out of California.
    Im out this time, decided to do something different.

    Is anyone here planning on bidding on these? Or currently bidding? I don't want to step on anyone.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Go Doro, go...!!!

    I had the SDA-CRS+ for about 2 weeks in the mid/late 80's. I was experiencing the "bass bottoming" problem that some have reported, and returned them. With hindsight, I now attribute it to the equipment I had at the time.

    The only thing I would wonder about is that for $400 they should come with the stands which are worth maybe $100. I got my CRS+ for $400 in new condition including stands and original boxes. I don't really care for the sl1000 either but that is a personal opinion.

    207.50 first time
    209.49 second time
    I never inquired for the reserve.
    Maybe the third time will be a charm.
