    My first SDAs. Babe (the big blue truck) and I headed down to Poway in the AM. My order for 4 new tweets should be placed by dinner time!

    Nice score! :smile:

    Thanks. Started having buyer's remorse when I measured my 2 channel space and realized optimal placement will be a challenge, if not impossible. Oh well ....

    I wouldn't stress over it. They'll still sound great...

    Well done @Jaybeez !!! I reached out to the brother of the seller of those SDA 2Bs in LF that I did the recon on, but I he hasn't heard back from the seller.

    Figured that was the case, and this deal lined up perfectly. John Nooshin advised to pick them up (he knows what he's talking about), my wife is out of town today (always a good thing when acquiring new gear) and I had the day wide open, the truck filled, and as you know, today was the rainy day that never happened.
    Thanks for the recon on the others. They looked like way more work and I think that while $100 is a fair offer for their condition the brother may well want to just part them out.
    I still owe you a Beverage of choice for your work though. We'll set something up, or if you want to join John and I for the LA Audio Show, we can settle up then.

    If they're 1.2 TLs, that's probably in the ballpark.

    Yeah, my bad, I was thinking 1.2TLs. Obviously those are 2.3 TLs.... $2000 is too much.
