    Here are some SDA-CRS in GA that need a little TLC:

    On the 'goN: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1276151746

    Looks like 2B's maybe a little steep at $370, but price has already been dropped a couple times so seller might haggle.

    The same seller has a more reasonable pair of Monitor 10's for $265, which I'd personally jump on if they have Peerless tweeters (looks like it).

    http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1276151746

    Probably not worth it with additional shipping expense tho.

    These have a set of Larry's crossover plates on them, so they must belong to somebody from the forum:eek:...

    The picture looks like stainless handles. Hard to tell though. If I recall, Larry had two
    customers for the stainless handles and I was one. They are not mine.

    They do belong to a member, and they are Larry's plates as suspected... I just got an email from him and he stated that he did not list them for sale because of the new rule regarding the need for 100 posts...

    I am in the hunt for these as well, movtarget, and sent my email out yesterday at 9:15 pm, but I will step aside for you as you are local. If the owner contacts me, I will put in a good word for you.

    nooshinjohn - thanks! If I land these, I will be putting up for sale a pair of 2.3tls that I have purchased upgraded tweets for, but not installed. I am still putting together a home theater set, and the original SRS will match the SDA 2 sets I will use for surrounds better than the tl's).

    I'll reflect back if/when I hear from the seller.

    Depending on your room size the 2.3tl's might sound better. I'd take the 2.3tl's over the original srs's

    I have seen these speakers before, as they were here in Indy before they made the move to North Carolina. They sounded great.:)

    I've heard both in different room sizes and I'd definintely take the 2.3TLs over the SRSs any day of the week. That's not to say the SRSs don't sound good, they sound great, but the 2.3TLs are more refined and can fill a large room and do very well in a small room too.

    Hello Folks,

    A pair of these are available below market value.

    CraigsList # 1733647145

    3k43m93oe5V05Q05S0a5ae54c8d96c1181ef8.jpg3me3p03o55O35V55Z6a5a6e429cb7e3cb15fa.jpg

    Rare! Polk Audio Top of the line Speakers, Original Owner, Solid Oak, Stereo Review Rated "The Dream System" in 1988 do a google search for more info. Serious Inquires Only call 570.350.3000 for Showing or more info.

    HUGE CLASSIC SOUND! IF YOU KNOW POLK AUDIO THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST EQUIPMENT HE MANUFACTURED.

    These are the BIG ONES! MSRP was $3,000 back in 1988. 63-3/4" H x 21" W x 13" D; 185 pounds.

    While these speakers are designed for high fidelity music reproduction and excel at that, they would work wonderfully as front speakers for a Home Theater system too! Notice they are only 13 inches deep, so they could look great on either side of a big flat screen, -- with full-range response!

    Functionally fine, with some cosmetic flaws, including grill cloth wear/stains on the sides, wear on the wood corners and some pinholes in the speaker rims. Some TLC with fine steel wool and wood polish would make these beautiful again.

    More info, including links to reviews, here: http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/products/srs/

    More here: http://www.polksda.com/sdasrs.shtml

    I AM SAD TO PART WITH THESE BUT AM MOVING AND NEED TO DOWNSIZE. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY AS THESE BABIES ARE HUGE AND EACH ONE WEIGHS 185 POUNDS!

    Each 63.75" x 21 x 13 cabinet contains 8 Polk 6.5" trilaminate-polymer drivers, a planar 15" sub-bass radiator, 4 Polk 1" Silver Coil polyamide dome tweeters and an incredibly complex and sophisticated Isophase crossover system. One of the unique features of the crossover is the progressive variation of the high frequency high-pass circuitry which maintains virtual point source operation resulting in wide horizontal and vertical dispersion. Power handling is nominally rated at 1000 watts per channel, although the high efficiency of the system allows superb performance to be realized with even the most moderately powered receiver. Bass performance is, in a word, breathtaking. The use of 8 small active drivers coupled to the large 15" sub-bass radiator results in extraordinarily tight, quick and three dimensional mid and upper bass combined with low and sub-bass capabilities which are staggering (clean output at 25 Hz exceeds 100db!) An elaborate bracing system is employed resulting in a remarkably rigid cabinet which virtually eliminates colorations due to panel resonances. Separate inputs for high and low frequency sections of the system allows bi-wire or bi-amp operation without the need for a separate electronic crossover. The speakers are beautifully finished in oiled oak and walnut.

    * Location: Delaware Water Gap

    Regards,
    Mike

    You don't make this very easy - I might have to keep the 2.3tl pair, too, then. I was lucky enought to land the SRS pair.
