    The winning bid was like $405. I never did get an answer on them as to whether they are SDA 2s or SDA/SRS 2s. IIRC the dimensions listed indicated to me they are the SRS 2s.

    I won this auction and picked them up a week ago. i ponted out to the seller that the description was for the much more expensive SRS speakers, rather than the SRS2s that they are. He kindly knocked $40 off of the price, so I paid $365 plus the cost to "Rent a Wreck" and bring them home.

    They sound great, very pleased. The bass is punchy and tight, the sound-stage is terrific. The SL2000 are listenable, but I plan to perform the Inspiredsports TL upgrade in the future, as my TL'd 2Bs are definitely sweeter in the highs.

    That's a nice price for the MONOLITHS! But very few of us have even 1000 to throw around these days. Of course I'm not in Minnesota.

    I have E-mailed them, the reply is from a female. She does not seem to know much about them. She has them advertised as the TL version, but when I asked her about that, she did not know what the TL even was.

    I know how to tell the difference between the original SRS and the 1.2 by the interconnect connection. How though can I be guaranteed these are the 1.2 TL and not just the 1.2. I would only be interested if they are the TL's as I have a pair of the 2.3's that I recently did upgrades to, but I always wanted the 1.2 TL's. I am hoping to look at them this weekend as I will be in Minneapolis. I informed her I am very interested if they are the TL's. My 3.1's are label TL's on those, but I believe the 3.1's are all TL's. Are the 1.2 TL version labeled TL on the back side? Otherwise could I verify by the serial numbers?


    Thanks for your help.

    My SL3000s had a coppery, brassy color to them. However SL3000 are also known to have silver or black coloring to them. IIRC the domes on the SL3000s had a ring around them but don't hold me to that. There are others here that can give you more definitive answers.

    If anyone wants these, I'd be happy to pick them up and store them until you're able to get them. That is presuming they're still around... Just shoot me a PM and $1000. Wish I had the $$ (or the space) for these beasts!!

    Dane,

    I might be interested in your offer here, more on the storage vs. looking at them. I was thinking of taking the car for the weekend. I would have to get a trailer to haul them home and it would be better to make arrangements later, I won't have any place to part a trailer where I will be staying.

    I think I will probably be in Minneapolis the weekend after this coming one also.

    Thanks

    Cory don't take for granted that this person is going to hold on to them that long! I'm sure if someone shows up with a grand, she would give them right up.

    Kinda high--but if they are mint,and you've got the money--I'd still offer less,,say 375.00 and go from there,as if you want to really get em to sing,you've got upgrade costs somewhere on the horizon.Good luck,let us know how it turns out--don't know of any member selling them.
    JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

    I agree with Mike - may be Jax's. I bought my Sony's off of him, and remember him talking about his 2B's and possibly getting rid of them in the future. I would do business with him in a second.

    2.3 TL's in NE

    Kinna beat up - not too bad. The dust covers are dented and the drivers are upside down. A sure beat they have been taken out a few times.

    So the little dots on the drivers should be on the top? Does it matter? Don't forget, I know very little about SDA:o

    The Polk writing should be on the bottom of the driver in the cabinet.

    Those in the picture are upside down. I have heard some crazy 80's stories about Polk but I don't believe they ever installed the drivers upside down or sideways.

    Also check the phillips screw head. Sometimes you will see the paint chipped off. Again, another sign they have been removed for whatever reason.

    When I Dynamatted my MWs I didn't pay attention as to whether they were upside down or not when I reinstalled them. I just made sure the lugs were on the proper side of the wiring i.e., positive vs negative. As it happens, the "little dots" where the dust caps are, are all in the 6:00 position.

    The pics of those 2.3 TLs makes me wonder if he has those couple of drivers that are upside down, and the one that is sideways "little dots" at 9:00, is wired out of phase or if he just twisted the wires around.
