    Someone did grab them from the Boise CL. I was the seller and am planning a move soon. I know they're worth more, but I still think Craigslist buys should be something you can brag to your friends about. Still have my Monitor 10's and Monitor 7's, but I will miss the 2.3's.

    beautiful pair of Classic Polk Audio SDA SRS 2.3's. These are in excellent condition and would make a great addition to any ones Home Theater or Stereo room.

    The fit/finish on these speakers are as good as any I've ever owned (9 pair of SDA's over the years) as clean as new, non smokers, no small children, we do have one dog, but she's not allowed to play with the stereo.

    They sound wonderful, 4 dimensional drivers through a soundstage that is remarkable, the stereo imaging is spot on and the Bass response from the 15" Passive Radiators is tight and clean.

    The original SDA interconnect cable is included also.

    You can come and sit down for a demo before you buy, but bring cash.

    Approx. 2-2 1/2 hours from the Columbia/Jeff City area.

    Please call or text Mike $800.00

    Thanks for looking!

    I'd get them but I'm good for now.
    I'm sure $200 will seal the deal.

    I asked him about it and he assured me he would. He did say he was having problems finding the interconnect cable, not a big deal to me as I have a couple.

    He also told me he had the stands and would ship separately at no additional charge??

    Sounds good, we will see.

    I don't know that these would be a "deal" but ... In a recent thread I talked about a local pair of CRS+ that had my interest but which had bolts out of the backs for some reason. That listing came down, sold presumably, before I followed through, which was fine. Now here's a pair with bolts out of the back of at least one of them ...

    http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/ele/4272638317.html

    I don't think these are the same speakers as the earlier pair had three bolts out of the back of the left channel and only two (with a third hole, apparently the old IC jack location) in the right channel. There's only one photo of a back with this listing but it has three bolts in the right channel. Also no mention here of stands, which were included in the earlier listing.

    I'm not going to be pursuing these but I'm going a little nuts trying to figure out these bolts, haha

    Here's the right channel from the earlier listing:

    http://images.craigslist.org/01515_3v3ZKHiHizI_600x450.jpg


    edit: Looking more closely I'm seeing similarities between the right channel speakers in both photos, aside from the third bolt - the markings and dings around the edge and what appear to be two smaller drilled holes ... something smells a bit off to me here.

    Wow I did not realize the stands were in the deal too. It's got to cost him $60+ to send you all that.

    Is this a potential red flag, perhaps not originally a matching pair? "Serial # on back L-SDS-SRS 3493 and R-SDS-SRS 4286."

    And I notice there's not a single photo showing both speakers, nor anything to indicate all the photos weren't of the same single speaker. Odd?
