I am considering the plunge into the SDA line. Someone is selling a pair of (he says) mint SDA SRS speakers. They have 3 tweeters and 6 drivers. He paid $1200.00 a piece years ago for them. What model are they and are what would be a fair price. He does have the cable, but not the boxes. Thanks, Jeff

    Jeff, those are most likely are either the 2.3's or the 2.3TL's. The 2.3's range from $600 to $800, although a pair just sold on Audiogon in the $1200.00 range. The 2.3TL's range from $900.00 to $1200.00 on average, but $1500.00 isn't unheard of. The 2.3TL's are the ones you heard at my house.

    May be 2.3TL. Price can be anywhere. I've got 1200 total in a pair of SRS 2 and 2.3TL. Good speakers if you've got room for them.

    Go get 'em Jeff, if the price is right.

    When new, the 2.3TLs had a list price of $1249 each. Maybe you'll get lucky and that's what they are.

    That's a nice speaker, definetly a shining example of SDA.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Congrats on your new SDA's! A warning, once you have one pair you'll want more:D I have the SRS 2.3's and I love them.

    Now you can look forward to the crossover upgrades;) Did you get the A-1 interconnect with them?

    Go to the sticky with the SDA playlist and try some of those tunes, you'll be amazed!

    Congrats again!

    This is absolutely true. By the time I was done I had two pair of CRS+, Studio 1Cs, Standard 1C's, 2.3's, SDA-SRS and 1.2's.

    You will want to upgrade the tweets sometime.

    Congrats!

    I still would like a pair CRS+s. Just can't ever seem to run across a pair in my area, at a reasonable price.:rolleyes:
