Yeah, saw that yesterday. I actually called the seller last week and chatted with him for a few minutes. I had no intentions to buy, but just wanted to get his thoughts on them. Nice guy, inherited them from his dad. He said he needed the cash and as long as the ad was up, they were available. Said he had a lot of interest in them, but no one was serious. I saw the ad was deleted yesterday, so they must have sold. I agree... hope someone around here got them. -
For those that can snag these, this looks like a pretty good deal. They might not show up on people's radar as there is no mention of "SDA" in the ad.
$620 for a pair of 2.3TLs that look to be in excellent condition. No affiliation. If I didn't have 3.1TLs I might be tempted.

Go get 'em!!! -

Well, I would be all over them but there are a few things that would hold me back.- I don't really have the room for them.
- Cost to upgrade them would be more (more tweeters, caps, ect).
- Spending more money when I just went in for a dreadnaught.
- Respect for the Mrs. who has already been pretty good with this hobby of mine and all the stereo stuff I have purchased.
- Other updates to the home my wife wants to have done in the house that I see are a higher priority for her (and the kiddos).
- I'm already extremely happy with the 3.1s (and a set of 2Bs)
- Anything bigger would probably be too much in my room.

That was what I did a few years back. I had some 3.1tl's which I was perfectly happy with when some 2.3tl's became available. As nice as the 3.1tl's are, the 2.3tl"s were a BIG step up, IMHO. I sold the 3.1's which helped fund the upgrade journey. I have never once second guessed the decision to move up the SDA line.
