    Why are they still listed? lol I would rip my backpocket off getting my wallet out.:D
    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    I emailed him 5 minutes after they were listed. I haven't heard back. I can't imagine someone beat me to them, but you never know. I will post if I get a response. Thanks

    I usually say something like I've got cash in hand and ready to come buy them right now and then leave a phone #. That way they know I'm serious and not just a tire kicker as they say in the car business.

    Make sure you stay on it, I lost a set SRS 1.2tl's even though i was the first to contact. someone else got a direct contact with them and bought them out from under me.

    Bad luck, this is a good buy

    Since when did you turn into the asking questions type? You're getting slow man.
    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.

    Looks like they will be mine. I am awaiting a phoen call with pick up details. No what am I going to do with them? I doubt they will be repalcing the 1.2tl's. They will probably end up as rears for now. I need a bigger house!

    Congrats. They will make most excellent rears :D If you want you can sell that adcom amp and get at least half or more of your money back. BTW did you ever get those xlr to rca adapters? and if so do you like your synthesis amp?

    I did receive the adapters. Thanks a lot. I just checked the PM I sent you last Monday, but I sent it without letting you know I received them. The amp looks and sounds great. Thanks for your generosity.

    Your welcome. Glad the amp worked and it sounds good. sometimes when you use the adapters the quality of the music is disminished. Get Darla to help you do a stakeout on his house, She has connections:D :p:D

    I think you will be very surprised at how good the SRS 2's sound...you might just have to set-up a second 2-channel rig...somewhere:D

    Haha, no worries! I'm happy with my 1B's (at least until I snag myself some 1.2TLs).

    As for the amp, I'd toss that on the gon or bay. I'm happy with my rotel right now, thanks!

    Hey Bro, I'm pretty sure that Musical Concepts makes a DIY upgrade for that amp that will make it sound very sweet on the mids and top end. Here is the link for their site.

    http://www.musicaldesign.com/mus_con.htm

    I have experience with their products. I currently have a HAFLER amp that I modified and I purchased two Adcom 565 mono blocks with the Musical Concepts upgrades and power cord upgrades already done to them. Very good company to do business with. Back in the 80s and early 90s I used a lot of their upgrades.
