Found a pair of these at CC this weekend on one of those open box deals. They had a couple of slight nicks and were missing the grills. CC was asking $200 for the pair. Is this a good deal? They also had a pair of open box RT2000's for $300 a piece. I'm just looking for rear channel set-up cause nothing will replace the SDA1B's up front. Thanks.

The question is it a good deal for you???Did you like the way whey sound, can you live with the way they are?
Answer this honestly to your self and there lies the answer!!Dan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
for $200, you are getting alot of speaker for the money, bute as mantis said, it's only worht it, if YOU like 'em. be careful of the CC open box. i brought a pair of 55s home a couple months ago, and one had a blown driver. no problem to return, just kind of a pain...

At $200 I think the 55s are a gimme. Even if you don't like em you could recondition the scratches and dents and sell em back for more than that. That 2000 deal is sweet too!

Well, I took the gamble before I got an answer from the board. I hooked them up as mains right now to my Parasound amp. They sure put out a lot of full sound for a bookshelf speaker. I played them in 2 channel and they sure sounded sweet. Whatever I played, they handled well. (Albeit, I had the sub on too.) I'm guessing that I got my money's worth. May make a call in to cust. service to get a price on some grills though. My 12 y/o son keeps "eying them (drivers) with bad intent."
Thats the 1st Tull reference I've ever used.
