    Looks like they were beaten with a baseball bat, then thrown down a flight of stairs.
    Attachment not found.

    Seller includes "TL" in the title, and clearly they are not the TL version.

    Buy-it-now is "only" $949. I'd pass at $400. Not a very good "audio-investment" (seller's eBay name)




    Moron.

    Relisted at $799. Still at least double the likely fair-market selling price.

    Yup, I have had a few conversations with him and he is darn set on getting at least 400.00 out of them. I do not know to much about the donut driver but he says one is frozen, along with two other drivers. I told him to very carefully push on the passive and see how many drivers do not pop out and that is what he responded with. If I had to bet the frozen drivers are in the cabinet that looks like it has been chucked down the stairs.

    Look at the picture where the speaker hooks up is (top row 6th from the left) that Pin/Blade?
    I thought the older 2.3 model "donut drivers" were Blade/Blade?

    These are the same SDA SRS 2 that have been for sale for quite sometime now. He has finally come down to what i think is a reasonable price. From what I was told from the seller these are the pin/blade version.

    Those are the standard versions so around 80lbs each... chance of shipping damage if no packed/handled properly and too much in shipping to pack well.
    But boston bought a pair from CO springs and shipped to east coast for $130 so may be not that bad.

    somebody needs to get their eyes on these and confirm the black paint on top. If it is truly "black" and not just some shade of very dark grey or blue, these could be a priceless source for re-establishing black paint supplies.

    Look at these! at first they seem okay but the tops and bottoms have been painted a poor job he did not paint the part the grilles cover
    look at the other picture he could not straighten the polk badge and then stacked another speaker on top. I see a couple of dust caps pushed in.

    At the risk of getting booted off the forum, I have to ask. I have a pair of 2.3's (with donuts, not TL's). What's their value? I'm not trying to sell them on this forum, I don't want to put them on the 'bay, and I have an offer to trade them for a REL Storm III subwoofer. Is that a fair deal? Let the attacks begin.
