SDA-CRS+
SDA-1C
SDA-2B
SDA-2.3
SDA-SRS (the original big ones, 2 pairs)
Monitor 5
Monitor 7
Monitor 11t

Looking at some rta 11t's for 70 bones. Look to be in very good condition for sale by the original owner. Is this a fair price?

Here in the Southeast I have seen two pairs of SRS 2s on CL for around $700 to $800.
I assume that they sold as they are no longer listed.

Let's not get confused between the SDA 2 and the SDA SRS 2. The SDA 2 (not 2a or 2b) is one of the least desirable of the SDA line. The SDA SRS 2 is one of the most desirable.

lol Yeah, I've seen how you rotate through speakers. I'll let you know if I need additional storage... -
I really never realized there was just a SDA-2 designation. Learn something new all the time here. I guess that makes these new ones on EBAY worth about $150-200.00....lol.2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

These look like the last iteration, if so, these can be TL'd. The asking price is equal to 16.3636 mint julep's, based on last year derby price of $11.00 each. Go buy 'em! -

I would offer $250.00 and go from there. If they are in as good of shape as they appear I likely would pay it if he didn't come down.

If these have the blade/blade interconnect they will have two round boards for the crossovers and are quite expensive to upgrade. At $250.00 purchase price and you do the full upgrade path figure on being into them for upwards of $700.00+ not counting spikes.
Not trying to rain on your parade just letting you know what to expect. Good luck however you decide.
