    If you could buy 15TL's N.I.B. for $600 I would like to know where? I bought mine new in 91 at Team Electronics for just under $1100.00
    List back then was about $1400

    Glenn Poors in Normal Illinois ...I wish i had money back then as he also had a Carver Silver Seven Tube amps and was told he would sell them for 10% above cost (Demo). I could only afford the TFM25 and C16 which i still have today.

    I remember Glenn Poors! Before I bought the 15's I took a pair over there with my amp to A B compare to an equivelant pair of Boston Acoustics. The 15's won out and the rest is history. I hate to say this but I just sold my 2.3's to SDA1C and took my 15's back out. I must say the 15's sound better in my living room than the 2.3's did. I just could not get the SDA effect in my small living room.

    Yes I know believe me if the cash was there you would not of had to wait that long those were too close for comfort. If My wife was not out of work I'd of went for a loan as soon as they came up. Funny thing Gleen had the RTA/Monitor line and across the street Sundown Audio had the SDA line. If I knew what I now know I would of had SDA's a LONG TIME ago. Sundown's SDA set up didn't do them justice at all.

    In 91 I was drooling for the SDA's. I only had enough $$ for the 15's at the time. I think I bought from Team in the Metro Center because he was a little cheaper on the Polk's. Team was only about 6 blocks from my house at the time. Man 1991 was a looong time ago!

    The tweeters look black not silver but it may just be me. And if you look it does not have donut drivers it is a TL.

    Not affiliated, don't know the guy...but I ran that same Aragon 4004/Polk 1B system for years, and it's a sweet match. (I didn't have the upgraded tweeters included in this system at that time.) I'd say priced fairly but no special bargain.

    I didn't know SDA1b had came with sl2500/3000 tweeters, or are those RDO's? To my eyes they don't look like RDO's. Would love to have that amp very nice....

    1Bs came with SL2000. I expect those are RD0-194s, but the ad isn't specific. Could be 198s, I suppose, if the capacitor in each HF crossover is changed.

    I sold my 4004 MK II for $700 about three--four years ago, and a late MK I a year or so before that for about a hundred less--I'd have to go look, I don't remember very well. Values are holding steady, or even increasing. Replaced 'em with 8008BBs, again prices have actually gone up since I bought them.

    The ones I just sold were a hell of a lot nicer for $800 with a set of Gimpods boards. It took a long time to get rid of them too.

    Almost picked these up, but my better half said no more speakers! Seller said they were the second owner and is willing to move on the price.

    IC cable in custom hole? It's not even in the terminal cup.
    Also, the stands are too low IMO.

    Pricewise, I never sold my CRS+ for $200 so they are staying with me for now. :)

    It's most likely the 1986 blade/blade CRS+. The connector was separate.
