Well after the link was posted about the local Sda 1's i was very interested, until they started getting bids on the first day.. and i knew they were gonna go high... i had e-mailed the seller about them and local pickup... well just so happens after i decided not to try and get those... He e-mails his phone number and mentioned another identical pair he would sell outright... We spoke, agreed on a price.. and i went to look at them today this morning... low and behold i took them home... Nice speakers.. one tweeter is blown, but he has a new tweet from polk on the way.. which he will send when it comes in.. This guy was older retired.. had alot of audio gear in house.. martin logans.. some old horn driven huge speakers.. and lots of other stuff.. so it was a fun trip about an hour drive or less.... heres some pictures..

    As long as you don't try running two of them bridged, you'll be fine.

    Congrats,

    You know, I had an opportunity to pick up a pair of 1B's in a pawn shop in 1991 for $250. But like a dumbass I passed. I could just kick myself!

    Nice hook up... never can tell when he'll want to unload more. I'd pick up the tweeter and keep in touch.

    Can't find my SDA Book right now, but based on the driver compliment, I'd put the rated power handling in the 300's...

    Conrats bud! Let me know how they perform with the Dyna. I'm sure it's a common ground amp but you should ask around to make sure.
