Mine!

I'm wondering if they come with the IC... Should be a no-brainer either way.

    I thought 2A's had the dimensional tweeters and 3 mid drivers? Could be wrong.

    I'm not certain, but honestly I don't really care. They do come with the interconnect, btw. Just spoke to the seller. Picking up Wednesday.

    I've been fishing for MONTHS for SDAs locally. Found some 1C Studios for $450 in WI, but they were just a little too rich for my blood. This will give me something to toy with. If they're in good shape, just an added bonus. Now... who wants my Monitor 10s so I can get some amps? (again)

    That the SDA 2 you're thinking of. The 2A's had 2 MW's and one tweeter.


    Congrats! $100 for 2A's is an awesome price! I paid $200 for my 2A's.

    They're some great sounding speakers! An excellent introduction to SDA's.

    I have a pair myself...possibly Bs....You'll enjoy them. I was using them last night to watch a DVD and they almost sounded like a SURROUND system in 2 channel?

    That PRadiator, box and 2 mid-woofers put out a ton of BASS! I'd hate to see what large SRSs put out?

    I got 2Bs for $50. $100 is still a steal and you'll love them. There's absolutely nothing even close to better for the same price.

    Picked 'em up today... they're in very good shape with the exception of a few nicks on the back corners and a grille cloth separating a bit (fixed with hot glue)
    These came from the original owner. He gave me a tour of his home, which is for sale. Demo'd his current rig... Mcintosh 752 with Conrad Johnson tube preamp... and BOSE speakers. :\ Very nice guy though... even gave me an Audiosource equalizer for the heck of it.
    Not at home right now... had some errands to run. But should get these hooked up and photographed later tonight!

    I love my SDA2a's which have been upgraded with RDO's and all new caps and resistors. Oh yeah a lot of dynamat too. I think I paid $165. for them and put maybe $200 into them. I don't think you can find a better sounding pair of speakers for under $400. except a very similar pair of Polks.
    You are going to love them. Great job!

    Great find dane. The ERC1 is in the middle of the country now IIRC, so keep the 10's around for more to play with when you get your hands on it.:D Might as well put this through it's paces with as much different gear as possible.

    HO-LY crap.

    This is completely different than I'm used to. I stand in front of one speaker and sounds almost empty... get into the soundfield, and it's pure MAGIC.

    Where have you been all my life, SDA's...

    BTW: "Please Forgive Me" by David Gray is one of my current favorite demo songs.
