    Seems good to me, but I would offer 6 bones and go from there. never heard a pair, but they do seem to be a decent speaker.
    +1 $300.00 a pair is a good price on a pair of LS90's . $600.00 for two pairs is ok, but see if he'll take $550.00.

    Well I just got back with the 2A's. I got them and a small tube guitar amp. For a trade of one of my guitars that I bought years ago for $75. I'm happy....for now.

    From the description, sounds like they've had little use and have been boxed away for 5 yrs.?

    For a 12 pack of good beer anyone can have a pair of SDA-2 speakers. They work fine, but the side panels warped off, and the cloth came off. A little TLC will bring them up to speed.

    hey I bought the Polk Audio SDA-SRS 3.1TL pair and they are fantastic.

    the tweeters look upgraded as they are black domed. they also came with 5 extra drivers: 4 new mw6503s drivers and I think one mw6511. have not inspected them all yet as I just got home. had to spend the night in a hotel due to road work and ferry schedules but they are well worth it. .

    have not opened them up yet. but they look mint and upgraded?
    one of the speaker binding posts is broken, 4 of the mids have pushed in domes and there is a stain one of the top plates but they are in amazing shape.

    nbrowser your post tipped me off. I have been looking on craigslist seattle but these did not show up...
    so THANKS a million.

    I have a DH200 and a DH200 need a little more power but that comes later.
    need to redo all my electronics and have not integrated a sub into the mix yet.
    the bass is pretty good as it is. the listening room is my garage at 30 by 50 with a 16ft ceiling so is huge. am also still playing with placement.
    last night I replaced one of the old mw6503 drivers with a new 2013 one.
    I found no mods inside the cabinet which is well braced as mentioned.

    Look good, think they might be a little high though. Either that or I stole mine for 150......

    Depends on condition. There's a pair near Boston going for more, and not as nice.

    Fer $80 I can get a pair of somewhat minty mismatched tweeter RTA-11TLs...and one contains a SL 2000...ugh lol

    That's a great deal! Put them in the bedroom and sell the Monitor 5's to fund a pair of RDO-198's.

    Twice what I paid for mine. But with the eight new upgrade tweeters I bought for mine. Fifteen would be my price too. I am keeping mine forever! Have a safe Fourth of July weekend. Peace. D
