Difference between SRS, 1.2, 1.2tl ???

Shicks18

Can someone explain? And also list them in order from best to worst

I looked at this: http://www.polksda.com/list.shtml

All it really explained was the dates of productions and MSRP. I imagine 1.2tl , 1.2, srs in that order. But what physical differences/benefits in each model?

I think most would agree the list goes 1.2TL, 1.2, SRS from greatest to leatest desirable. That said, I don't think anyone here would turn down a set of any of them.

The orginal SDA SRS is vitually a completely different speaker speaker than the 1.2 or 1.2TL other than I think the passive woofer and being similar in sze and driver layout.

Try here and see if this answers all your questions and it will save me some typing.

That's a very informative thread. I've wondered the same thing for a while myself.

One last question that's not answered real clearly in that thread...

The SRS used SL-2000's, the 1.2TL's used SL-3000's...what did the 1.2's use? SL-2000's I'm assuming...correct?

leroyjr1

Yes they used SL-2000's

Help guys - What model had blade/blade for the A-1? There is a set near me that is blade/blade in good condition for 1200 and I was thinking about it. Is the Pin/blade more desirable?

Thank you very much for that Snow, had to bookmark it for future reference. Sorry if I'm thread jacking but I'd like to add to the list of questions; What are the going rates for SDA SRS, 1.2's and 1.2TL's? Not looking for the "at a steal/great price" but more along the lines of an average price on a stock pair. :cool:

I'd say ball park $1,200 to $1,500; the main issue though is finding them for sale within three states of you...

There seems to be no real established average rate for the big SDA models, I think because they are so hard to ship. If you live in a location where there is a large customer base you will most likely command a pretty good price if not anything is possible and even then it will depend on whether the seller knows what he has.

I would think that the original SDA SRS woul typically sell for around 900- 1500 the 1.2 for 1000-1800 the 1.2TL for 1500-2500 but all can and will sell for much more or less depending on condition whether or not they have upgrades etc.

For example I have seen original SDA SRS's sell for as much as $2000.00 and SDA SRS 1.2TL's sell for as little as $500.00 and as much as $3500.00.


Personally I think if you can get any of the big 3 for less than $1500. you are getting a good deal as long as they are in good condition.

I think I will start a thread for sales of the big 3 just to get an idea of prices and see whether we can compile enough sales info to get an average price and to see how much if any part demographics play in it.

That's a good idea. I have seen prices all over the board on these speakers. I spent $1200 on a mint set of original SRS'. The main reason I did not think twice was because of the condition and because they were two hours away from my house. Close enough to get them myself and not have to deal with shipping hassles. I totally agree with snow on this one.

Snow hit the nail right on the head.

Figured I'd ask this in said-thread rather than make a new one because although this doesnt pertain to the bigger badboy 1.2's its still SDA-related.

What's the difference between the drivers in PIC 1 and PIC 2, I'm referring to the top and bottom 6 1/2"s that have some sort of ring around the dust cap? Btw, I got these pictures from AVSforum and another forum google pulled up.

Any advantages/disadvantages to this? Curiousity runs through me like crazy so I had to ask

Oh and yes I know they're 2.3's

They were in the earlier 2.3 not TL models and they were used to increase bass, if I remember correctly they are weighted. Commonly referred to as donut drivers.

Also,, the ones with the "donut" drivers used sl-2000's while the 2.3 tl (no donut drivers) used sl-3000's

Ah sweet, learned something else about them. Are these drivers difficult to obtain? I don't ever see them pop up at all on eprey or here. I've just considered 2.3's if I wanted to go up from 1C's.

I think you can still buy replacement drivers from Polk.
