    Polk SDA SRS 2.3tl tower home speakers - $1200 (Loveland, CO)
    http://denver.craigslist.org/ele/3562403555.html
    I have some SDA SRS 2.3tl's that I have painstakingly re-manufactured. I put new grill-cloth and side cloth, re-finished the wood tops and bottoms checked every electrical connection in each speaker, installed upgraded tweeters from POLK at a cost of $50 each, and re-built the cross overs with better caps and resistors. They did sound great before but the upgrades just opened them up more for a sound thats out of this world! I have been into audio since I was about 8 years old and have built custom speakers and subwoofers and do know what I am doing I am a relentless perfectionist. I have the SDA cable and you simply wont get the full potential hooking these up to a AVR.

    I am asking $1200 Firm. Serious inquiries only please and make your e-mail stand out and not be some generic spam e-mail ( hello seller(s) I am interested in your item(s) ) message. Thank you!

    They are indeed 2.3 TL's because they have the SL3000 tweeters. Wish I was closer, arghh.

    A lot of the early passives had the bubbling problem other than unsightly I don't believe it had any affect on the sound.

    This swashbuckling SDA speaker from Polk does complete justice to the reputation maintained by Polk Audio Speakers since decades.:lol:

    This guy had them on there for a dollar free shipping well it got up to over $300 but it wasn't enough so he pulled them and put them back on for this what a tool:cheesygrin:

    That's actually true.
    I think what he meant is it's not necessary for the speakers to work.
    They work like regular speakers without the SDA effect.

    Unless you have a good extra amp to trade him that you got a deal on then it would be a deal. The way I see it amps are easier to find than speakers like that, they look nice.

    man those SRS 2's seem to be popping up a good bit over the last several months. Just no where near me. $400-$600 depending on condition and version (early/ later). Good luck.

    If these are the later version, they are essentially a 1C on steroids from what i understand. (bigger cabinet and PR.) electrically they are the same as the comparable version of the 1 (B/C).
    If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of Progress?!

    There is a pair of Monitor 11's (not the newer RTA-11TL) in Little Rock, AR listed in AK bartertown.
    Re-veneered, upgraded crossover for $250 but peerless tweeters are replaced with peerless copy tweeters from midwest or something. Comes with extra MW6600 and 1 original peerless tweeter.
