Telarc cannons!???!?!?

Methinks the fact that it was one of the lowest ones is an important clue.

I might add...my PS Audio DirectStream DAC was open box and purchased from Music Direct. I was able to get another $500 discount by simply asking for a lower price. YMMV.

The type of interconnect socket is the determining factor of what they are.

Blade/blade = Original SDA SRS (non-compatible with Dreadnaught or AI-1).

Pin/Blade = SDS SRS 1.2 The speakers either have the RD0-194's or they been TL'd depending if the RD0-198 tweeters are installed along with the appropriate changes to the crossover) or they are SDA SRS 1.2TL with the RD0-198's. Dreadnaught or AI-1 compatible.

So, I pestered the owner for a pic of the SDA connection and this is what he added to the auction...



And now he's added this...

They are 1.2's at the least because they have the pin/blade socket, however, the next question is...are the tweeters RD0-198's, if so they would be 1.2TL's ...if they're RD0-194's they're 1.2's but can be converted to 1.2 TL's. Easy way to find out is to remove a tweeter and if the white negative post is larger than the colored positive post they're RD0198's.


What's up with the socket further down? Looks like a microphone socket. SMH

He said he connected using that XLR JACK and it didn’t affect the sound. I asked him to take a pic of the binding posts so I could see the SDA jack and he realized that he show try connecting the SDA cable correctly. So, he wants to hear the SDA effect before he sells them.

He also did the leak test and the drivers moved back in about a second.

He did confirm the tweets are all RD-0194s.

Boom. Done.

I may have failed to adequately explain this last part. The “Boom” is a shotgun blast and Spongebob is the “Done.”

I'd buy them if the mid-woofers move freely.
