    I don't see them on eBay at all. Aren't they really really rare?

    I LOVE mine! And if they don't go for much more GET THEM! Do RDO's and the cross overs. You'll need a high current amp(GFA-555 Adcom is a good place to start). Have the guy package the tweeters SEPARATELY(spares), mine were damaged in shipping. They appear to be in GREAT shape.

    EBAY is like cocaine. At first you only look, next thing you know, your house is full of crap you have no idea why you own.:eek:

    Ah! Found it. Too bad it's too far for me. But yeah, I would try to jump on these if I could.

    No, but that seller is very close to me and I have him saved as a favorite seller on e-bay for the past couple years.

    Seems to sell some pretty good stuff.

    Thanks for the update...Sometimes I am a bit nervous buying things off ebay. Nice to hear you give him a good review.

    You got that right. Phil (daybrookdriver) is a great Ebayer IMO. I bought mint condition SDA 2's with original boxes from him a couple of years ago. Keep in mind if you want them shipped you are running the risk of the drivers getting damaged during shipping (this happened to 2 of the SL2000's). I'm not sure if Phil will remove the drivers and ship them separately. Wouldn't hurt to ask him. Good luck and I hope you get em'.
