    I think Sal needs another pair.:D They would look great in his new house.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    I agree, he needs a set for surrounds in his HT.

    Surrounds? What a waste. They should be 2CH only, if anything.

    I was kidding. Having tried SDA's in my HT, I never liked them as mains either.

    I've never heard better mains in a HT setup than my 1.2TL's

    Then you are too wrapped up in this website and should probably get out more often.

    Couldn't you just find a single 1.2 and use it as your TV stand? :p

    Sal, I want you to invent Bipole SDAs for your HT. Then it would be a perfect match!

    Three Questions:

    1.) Anyone going after these?

    2.) Anyone on here who could hold these for me until the last week of July if I win them?

    3.) With Gas Prices how they are would you drive the at least 9hrs I am going to have to travel to pick these up or would you suck it up and buy these. What bothers me about these is that I think they are a little steep...

    Well,

    I guess I'll pass on the TL's in NJ. I still have some soul searching to do on the SRS's but I have a little time.

    Oh, on second look they are TL's... Buy the freakin things, you won't find a better speaker for 5 times the price for sure. No affiliation.

    I agree with my esteemed colleague, Mr. Madmax. Even at the BIN price they are a steal.

    Thats what they sold for. Good price, but I don't know. I didn't like how the guy only took pics of the back of the left channel. Something fishy about that.
