    Oh come on hnbgolf.... I live in Indy for Christ's sake.
    These would be perfect next to my bigscreen.
    All you have to do is call / e-mail the seller and get him to agree to sell them to me for your bid price. Seems fair enough...doesn't it? There will be other 2.3's or 1.2's in your future.
    Besides, they are too expensive to ship and Indy is too far away to hassle with. Let me have 'em. Ok? Puhleeeese?

    Actually, until ONE FUC$'ing minute until the end of the auction, I was the high bidder meeting the reserve price (My dog's name is Tramp). Are you driving to Indy for the pickup? If so, maybe we can get together. Come on now... play nice and share.
    Let me save on this once-in-a-lifetime-no-shipping-expense deal.

    Hnbgolf,

    What was you "Max Bid Amount"? I'm curious.
    The #2 guy really sets the sale price. How much would you have gone to retain ownership of the 2.3TL's.

    hnbgolf,

    For the love of those 2.3TL speakers... don't subject them to the possibility of shipping damage. As for the high cost of shipping, your not going to get any sympathy from me.

    I only wish that I had bid higher.... driving your price even further up.

    If they had a buy-it-now option, they would now be in my living room instead of a nasty truck ride all the way to Florida.

    The guy even said... "LOCAL PICKUP ONLY". Can't you read hnbgolf?

    3. SDA 2.3TL ('Cause, dammit, I just want a pair).

    Looking for all of the above with oak cabinets. :cool:

    I have a set of 1.2's in Oak in great shape if your still looking. mcowan@mcowan.com is my email. Let me know. Thanks

    Damn,

    Sumbuddy went and used the "Buy It Now" option:

    Auction Started: Sep-02-02 05:49:50 PDT
    Auction Ended: Sep-02-02 19:09:19 PDT

    It all reminds me of something Hoss Cartwright said over three decades ago: "Them that gits to the table first...gits.:lol:

    Tempting.....but I don't want the drama of having them shipped cross-country. A pair will eventually surface within driving distance.;)

    There is something funny about the top left mid-driver in those photos...it just looks wrong.

    F1nut,

    No, nothing wrong. That is the so-called "doughnut" driver. Some of the 2.3's had that driver. I forget what its particular sonic benifit was. Maybe Ken Swauger in Polk Customer Service sould supply an answer.

    The story I got, was some of the early 2.3's had "too much midrange" the "doughnuts" were added to slow the driver down by adding mass.
    Dodd - Battery Preamp
    Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
    Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
    ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
    DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
    Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
    Outlaw ICBM - crossover
    Beringher BFD - sub eq

    Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!

    All 2.3's have the same number of drivers, but the types of drivers and the crossover networks of the two models are different:

    The "TL" version of the 2.3 uses the SL3000 tweeter. The earlier non-TL 2.3 uses the SL2000 tweeter.

    The 2.3TL uses six MW6510 drivers. The 2.3 uses two MW6510 drivers for the dimensional array and in the stereo array uses two MW6511 drivers and two MW6513 drivers.

    Hnbgolf,

    First off, I was out of town - so, I missed this auction.
    Second, they are in Pittsburgh, not INDY.
    Third, they aren't the TL-version.

    So, I'm going to keep on bitching.

    I think they mass loaded two of the midbass drivers to extend low frequency performance. I think. Have been wrong before.

    I am of the opinion that one doesn't need a center speaker when using SDA speakers. The imaging of SDA's places the vocals in the center. I believe someone posted on here that their SDA set up actually sounded better with their center turned off.
