Does anyone have (or can make to sell) a pin-blade SDA cable? I am thinking of purchasing some SDA 3.1tl's but the SDA Cable is missing. Before I settle on a price for them, I would like to know the replacement cost of the SDA cable.

Also - anyone know what would be considered a good price for the 3.1tl's? (Cabinets in very good condition)

Thanks guys (and gals).

Michael

Edit - also does anyone know if the tweeter replacement for the SL3000 matches up well with the LSi line? (I believe the silk dome replacement for the SL2000 was supposed to be a good match with the LSi line of speakers, but cannot remember if the SL3000 replacements were supposed to as well.
Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)

Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms)

    You don't necessarily need a Pin/Blade cable for these speakers. The Pin is the only portion of the cable that provides the signal to "activate" the dimensional driver. The blade was used for a better connection, (support).

    You could simply drill a 1/4" Hole right above the terminal and tap in a binding post and solder a wire from the "pin" portion of the speaker terminal to the binding post. You just simply take the speaker cup off the back of the speaker and you will see where the pin is terminated.

    Do this to both the L/R speaker and then run a good quality speaker cable between the two binding posts.

    I personnaly used the Dayton binding post, (some use the cardas), and use a 20 foot Monster Z2 speaker cable that I purchased on ebay from this seller.

    All in all I paid 90.00.

    DarqueKnight has an excellent write up with pictures, which is where I got the inspiration to do this...

    Here is the thread

    Just use some good silver solder and get your solder on.

    .

    The price of all SRS speakers are subjective. A good price for the 3.1TL's?

    $600.00 - $800.00

    But again, depending on the condition they could go for more.

    You have a pin-Blade interconnect? (or just making one) The 3.1's could not pass the WAF test - I am getting a pair of LSi15's to replace my 7's for my front stage. That should clear the way for a panasonic 50" plasma.... :)

    Gonna make it through around lunch time again? If you need any help, just call.

    Michael,

    I will make my own, I guess that leaves him with the original for the 3.1 TL's.....you sure about those LSi15's? With the sub you have, maybe the LSi9's would be ok?? You could save some money there...
    I Might use some help the 19th...you know what I mean.

    Noel,

    I'd love to stop by, but it's going to be a long day......we'll see.
