    No, I think they are 5 ohm and if I remember right, they should be around 92db sensitivity because of all those drivers.

    I just went to the bank. I have $750.00 in my wallet.


    If the guy stays true to his word and gives me first dibs. I think he will. I'll be comeing home with these later this evening. I have an appointment to go see them at 5 o'clock.

    I should be posting pictures on the forum by seven at the latest if I get them.



    Thanks for everybody's kind words and offers. This place is great!

    Good luck - bring 'em home safe!

    I spoke to the seller and officially removed myself from the running for the speakers.Further, I put in a good worrd for Nick, telling the seller they are going to a great home with him. Seller stated he had a bunch of offers to buy them at 750.00, including mine, so I did not damage Nick's ability to buy them for less.

    Got them.


    Probably the most badass speaker I have ever seen. No picture will ever do these things justice!


    They look like they did when they were new. No exaggeration. They almost look better than new. Unbelievable I think is the word for them.


    I'm keep'em forever!



    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D



    Sorry the pics aren't better. They are too damn heavy to have stopped and taken some pictures out side. They had to come straight in.



    Robert was a great guy to meet. Many thanks to him for holding them for me.;)

    They re 8ohm "compatible". They are actually 6ohms;) Stereo array is 8 and dim array is 4. These in parallel give you 6ohms nominal with dips to 4. Yes you need common ground. Glad to see you got them:)

    Well. I couldn't help it. I hooked them up to my 5 watt tube amp. I started getting some kind of feedback. So I turned it off immediately. I strapped the negatives together. Guess what. It sounds freaking AWESOME.


    I'm totally freaking in love with these speakers!!!!


    I have a felling these might not ever leave me.

    I'd email http://www.tubelab.com/ and make sure it's ok to tie the grounds.

    Have you tried triode mode with the Polks yet?


    Who would have thought it, SDA's sounding beautiful with less than 15wpc? :D

    Thats what I am listening to them with. The Simple SE in triode mode. I don't usually ever listen in UL mode. Triode sounds much better IMO.

    I've just strapped the negative binding posts. And so far no problems and sounds great. Dead quite.

    Considering these might be one of the nicest specimens in the world. No exaggeration. I might keep them all original. They just seem to perfect to start doing modifications to. Who know though. Only time will tell.



    Another quick pic.:cool:

    Do the crossovers Nick. Having original XO's would be like saying you have the original brake pads in a car;) Have fun for a while first:)

    This may be the happiest I have ever been in my audio journey.



    If you don't like the SDA effect. Somethings wrong with you. These things are wicked.

    sorry to jump in here, nice score...my question is, you got the SRS 1.2TL, now what are the differences between these, and for example, just SDA SRS or SDA SRS 1.2

    thanks

    Congrat on the 1.2TLs. Do a search on the forum for them and find out more than you can take in.
