Found some of these for sale on EBay and I don't know much about them. I have been reading on here but still pretty clueless. They are missing 2 drivers but other than that they don't look too bad. Can some one give me an idea on approx. price of drivers and selling price for the speakers? It would have to be a very good deal for me to even think about it but you never know. Might cause a divorce or big fight. I have been on this forum way too much. I sure do like the looks of this line of speakers and have read good things about them. Are they 4 ohms or 8 ohms? Thanks for any info.

    They have the side by side tweeter at the top and 4 woofers. They look to be in good shape but are missing 2 woofers each. Not sure why. They have been in storage for a while and don't think they person has every hooked them up. No, not local but only about 3 1/2 hours from me. I was going to post the EBay link but not sure if that is acceptable. They have one bid and are only at $100. I really wouldn't be able to use them, at least for a while. They are in the Dallas, TX area if anybody else is interested.

    I would hold off and hope for a deal on 1B/C's or 2B's. 4 drivers adds $200 to the cost unless you were lucky enough to find 4 used MW6501's. Also that is a first generation SDA that went through a lot of changes in later model years.

    Thanks Ben. I figured drivers would be pretty expensive.

    The later models were definately a huge improvement.

    Sometimes I don't understand sellers...
