    Wow George! You still have self control when it comes to audio? Where can I get some! :p

    I think the single tweeter and B/B makes them early CRS+, but non TL-able. Plus, it looks like the top speaker has damage to the tweeter.

    I bought them today. I am collecting the SDA series speakers. Over the last month I have been lucky enough to collect the SDA 1C black studio version, SDA SRS 2 1986 version, SDA SRS 2 1987 bi-ampable version, these SDA-CRS and this weekend I will pick up a SDA 2B set locally. I will be on the look out for the SDA SRS model. I hope a set comes close to Northeast Pennsylvania in the near future.

    Thanks. I have been fortunate that the big SDA's were only a half hour away from my house. My black SDA 1C's were from Colorado. The shipper did a heck of a job packing them but they still arrived with two frozen speakers that I replaced. I hope these SDA-CRS' arrive in one piece. I will let you know what condition they are in when I get them.

    Congrats, I have a pair of CRS+'s that I will keep. It looked like one of the tweeters was pushed in. Are you upgrading your SDA's with the RDO tweeters?

    I bought my CRS+ from ebay and they arrived in great condition, so there is hope. :) I hope you like them as I think they sound amazing for the size.

    I am looking forward to hearing the CRS. I will see how the tweeter is when it comes. I have a feeling I will be replacing them with the RDO's. Ben the part number you listed is that for the drivers. Does Polk sell replacements if they are frozen. I will let you know on that one. Your silver interconnect cable works well with my SDA 1C. I may be getting another one off of you shortly. The 87 version of the SDA SRS 2 did not come with one. It is the pin version. The 86 SDA SRS version uses blade/blade connection. I know the guy I am buying the CRS speakers does not have the interconnect cable. I am not sure if that speaker is blade/blade or pin/blade. It seems like everyone likes the CRS version they kind of remind me of a horizontal monitor 10 with SDA. Is that a fair assumption.

    Well, I received the SDA CRS speakers on Monday. I heard the UPS truck and could see the delivery guy thru my door. He literally thru the two boxes on the front porch. I couldn't believe my eyes. Before I could get my coat and shoes on he was gone. The seller did a great job with packing these speakers. I got them out of the box and the cabinets were in good shape but needed a cleaning. I hooked up the speakers and they sounded good but not great. I discovered the tweeter was not working on one of the speakers. I pulled out the tweeter and found that the female quick disconnect end was broken. Today I went to radio shack and a new quick disconnect. Hooked up the speaker and all I can say is WOW. They have got to be the best bookself speakers I have ever heard. I would not change a thing on them.
