    edited March 2009 in Vintage Speakers
    I drove 1800 miles to Tuscon AZ to pick up these SDA SRS 2. Well I made a six week holiday out of it in my motorhome. Perfect rig to haul these monsters in.On my way home now.
    They sure sounded great when I heard them in Tuscon.

    They were on Craig's list for $500, I paid $450.

      Not home yet, spending 4 days in Moab UT. I live in Vernon British Columbia. When I found out there was a pair of speakers in Tuscon, I knew I would be close because I was going to Mesa Az for a month so I really only drove around a 100 miles to Tuscon to pick up the speakers.

      I just got back home with mine. 800 miles, $100 in gas. Haven't had time to pull them out of the car and I have to sleep now so I won't be able to try until Monday night.

      Will post pics soon. (my own thread obviously) :D

      Nice speakers, but how about an overall shot of your house on wheels?

      Looks like a converted bus chassis?
      Ludicrous gibs!

      I made it home, and already tried the SRS2's. They sound fantastic. I've owned a pair of 10B's since 1986, I always thought they sounded great.

      GaryW welcome home
      So I guess now we need to know what you got running them.

      Someday after you get used to the SL-2000 tweeters I think you should call Polk CS and order four RDO-194 drop-in replacement tweeters. Should cost you only $200. for four and you'll hear a nice improvement.
      I have SRSII's and I don't think I could be more happy with them.
