There's something wrong. The last pic of the back is not of a 2.3.Political Correctness'.........defined

Nice catch F1. Looks like the back of a SRSII not a 2.3.

I paid $600 for a pair in fair condition and then less than $500 for another pair in better condition. I won't say how much less than
A friend of mine told me to never make a offer that didn't shock the hell out of the seller to see their reaction. Offer them $250 or $500 cash and see what happens.
Also there's a pair of SRS 2's for sale on here in the flea market for $400.

Nick,
Where is this guy located? If he is a local NJ guy lets go take a look if not forget about it.
The F1nut never misses a thing but as he ages things may change but for now you should ask the seller alot of questions. The label on tha back is the same as the one on my SRSII's.

FWIW. I checked my 2.3's right speaker and the label is identical, but serial is 3230.SDA 2.3/RDO's... xovers by Ben

Identical to the one pictured above? I mean, I know Polk liked to use up left over stuff, but that label isn't even close.Political Correctness'.........defined

Yes. Just like it. When I first came into possession of my 2.3s, I had the boxes and they were marked 2.3 in big print. It always bugged me that the label read 'SDA SRS 2' and not

The first pic shows those are early 2.3's because they have the "donut" drivers. I suppose it's possible they have an SRS 2 label on the back. Polk didn't throw anything away apparently."Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment.

If they are in decent shape $750 is a pretty fair price. I admit many of us are used to getting such great deals in the FM we tend to become a little jaded."Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience.

The TL's had 4 stereo drivers, and 2 dimensional with the SL3000's. The older 2.3's had 2 stereo, 2 dimensional, and 2 bass (donut drivers) with the CL specials.
F1 don't you have 2.3's?
BTW $750, and you can pick them up is a great deal.Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

H9 wasn't talking about the 2.3TL's, which I do own. He was talking about two different versions of the 2.3, one with donut drivers, one without.
The 2.3 and 2.3TL are entirely different speakers. It was not just a matter of simply adding the SL3000's that makes them TL's.Political Correctness'.........defined

I've never seen 2.3's without the donut drivers.
To my knowledge only the earliest 2.3's had the donut driver's added to the MW6513's. Later (non TL) models had standard MW6513's with out the doughnuts. Page 18 of the compendium II clearly shows a pic of 2.3's w/o the doughnuts in the 1st and 4th drivers.
The 2.3 TL are a completely different speaker they use all MW6510's and the driver array is completely different as well as the tweeters and the cabinets. They're 8 ohm as well.

Yeah the specs are misleading on a lot of the pin/blades.

My 8 ohm comment came straight from the Compendium II, I have found a couple other contradicting specs too.

Yours......................................
It's not about the manhood; it's about putting up the correct info for others to use now and in the future. Plus, if there is an error in the Compendium I'd like to make a note of it. I realize the difference between 6ohm and 8ohm nominal is negligible at best.

Bingo!
They are 6 ohm nominal. The info in the Compendium lists all the TL series as "compatible with 8 ohm outputs", which 6 ohm loads would be. Just a bit of marketing speak, I believe.Political Correctness'.........defined

Listen F1nutter Butter page 27 states and I quote "The Nominal Impedance was raised to 8 ohms" Seesh!! Don't you know anything?
Anyways, the above response was meant in jest..... so Doro don't get your tubes all untied over it.

LOL......yeah, yeah. My owner's manual says "compatible with 8 ohm outputs", so I'm sticking with 6 ohms. Someone here tested them, maybe Raife and IIRC they measured at 6 ohm nominal.Political Correctness'.........defined
