SDA 2B's for sale :) They are just taking up space right now. I'd much rather have the money (and the space that they are taking up).

They are in good condition. I guess 7/10 as far as appearance goes. There are some scratches on the cabinets but nothing serious I don't think; just light scuffs or scratches. The drivers are perfect though. There's no rust on the screws (like I've seen on some SDAs) and all the mid woofers are still sticky. The PR's do not have any bubbles or peeling. Drivers look new!

They sound great. I originally sold my Lsi7's to keep these but since I sold my amp I don't care to really keep them anymore. They were nice to have for a while, but aren't really a speaker I'd stick with long term. Plus they don't really work well with the setup of my room.

There's no SDA cable included, but these are the pin/blade variety so you can use a regular RCA cable because the blade doesn't do anything. How do I know? Well, I tried it. First I used a monster sub cable and then decided to just use some speaker wire. Worked perfectly.

They are very big and I definitely don't have boxes so PICK UP IS A MUST! They are in zip code 12508 so you can determine how far away they are from you. NY, NJ, PA, and CT residents wouldn't have to driver very far depending on how close you are to NYC.

Price is $300

You can e-mail me at airplay355@hotmail.com or AIM Airplay355

Check the good buyers and sellers thread for feedback.

Yes, I paid $50 for them (on an ebay auction fluke), but I'm using the $250 (if I get 250) to pay for college/car insurance, so have sympathy and don't murder me please!

    What difference does it make what you paid for them? Even if you had received the speakers as a free gift, you are entitled to sell them for whatever the market will bear.

    If you were more local I'd be tempted. I've had an urge for larger Polks since I got my Monitor 11T's earlier this year

    Well John, I do venture to Maine every now and then. Possibly for this Christmas even. If I'm going to be in Maine for Christmas, would meeting on
    I90 work out for you? That is pending me actually going to Maine for Christmas though, not sure if that's happening.

    It's dutch. Kill means creek, so there's Peekskill, Stonykill, Fishkill, all pretty much in the same area. A bunch of wackos wanted to change the name to something nicer because Fishkill was too mean or something.

    I'll have to think that over, very tempting. Don't let it get in the way of other deals, though.

    Any idea how these would compare to 11Ts? They're tall, narrow speakers with twin 6" woofers, single SL2000 tweets and two small passives. Same active drivers as the 2B, I think.

    Go for it John! It's an easy drive from Boston (during non rush hours)

    It's a very easy drive from Boston... I90 to I84, and I'm a 2 minute drive from Exit 12. I've never heard 11Ts, so I'm really not sure. Maybe one of the more experience members will chime in. The thing that surprised me the most was the amount of bass you get from two mid woofers. I guess the PR really helps a lot. The heart beat in Dark Side of the moon sounded great! I also loved the imaging of course. I listen to a lot of trance and it was nice to have things whirling around the room. That's what made me get rid of the Lsi7's. They just didn't sound big enough and the SDAs did.


    I've spent many a night at the Ruby Tuesdays across from the Hilton garden Inn stuffing my face haahaa.

    It's not the drive, it's my vehicle. Still working out the kinks.

    You wouldn't happen to want to try another kind of speaker, would you? I have a few Klipsch KG3, KG4, and Heresy models I no longer use.

    Rent a car John! The car rental will be about $50. These speakers are well worth the cost of the speaker plus the rental. You won't get anything close to this sound for $350!!!

    Wouldn't be worth it to me. These things don't seem to go for all that much at auction.

    I don't need any other speakers, sorry. These are the only remaining piece of my stereo, I sold it all. They are just sitting in the corner of my room right now so I figured I'd get rid of them.

    I can't think of anything that sounds better then they do at their price point, I just have no use for them lol. Don't really have a use for any speakers at the moment.

    Nice speakers, someone should scarf 'em up.

    Lets add Cobleskill, Catskill, Platekill, Wallkill, Spakenkill and ... OK enough, but I was just working in Fishkill (Beacon) last week at the Fishkill State Correctional Facility which is just a stones throw away from my office in Buchanan (home of Indian Point nuke plant). I didn't know you were in the area.

    Sure am Bob. And I'll be driving to Potsdam on Wednesday night so if you want these I'd be on my way North already.
