Well, I don't like to do this but I'm selling my SRS's. They are the original SRS's with sl2000's and 6503 drivers.. They are in great condition and probably a 7.5/10. The wood is solid wood and is in great condition. The drivers are in good condition except for the right speaker the driver second from the top on the right side has a dent in the dust cap. Also, the grill cloth is probably a 5/10. It could be replaced but looks respectable as it is. I have 3 yards of Pointe Black grill cloth I will include for that job. I also have the interconnect cable. I live close to Indianapolis Indiana and will be willing to meet or deliver. I'll do what I can with gas prices...

Price - $1000

Reason - I really jumped into this with both feet. I don't have the right amp to drive them and I really need a good pre or DAC or both to get the sound I want out of these so I'm going to downsize for now and slowly build a nice 2 channel system over time (without the wife knowing) It's easier to hide a pre and a DAC than it is to hide these monoliths... So... I'm going to downsize, get the right equipment and do it right.

Thanks to everyone who has been very helpful on this forum. It's really your fault for showing me the right way to do audio :)

Please let me know if you need more Pictures. I will be happy to provide.

I'll post it here for a week and if nothing serious comes of it, I'll throw it on CL/eBay.

Thanks,

David

    If he so chooses to do so I would not be entirely upset because I am perfectly content with what I currently have, and it would not be the first time the monoliths have escaped me. I am going to see Nik and his Tl's this weekend... I realize you are joking TFL, but I fail to see the humor:)

    count yourself fortunate to have never heard them. Once you have heard them there is no going back... You don't own them, they OWN YOU!;)
