Does anyone have specs for the SRS-SDA 2.3'S. Also would anyone have a scanned copy of the owners manual? A friend delivered these to me to try out and purchase but he did not have the owners manual. I am replacing my SDA II B's which I purchased new way back, when I could not afford the big SRS's. I am now in heaven! Just trying to figure out how much I should pay for them.

    What is their condition?
    Do they come with the cable?
    Everything working properly?
    Price range on these depending on the preceding would be:
    $700-$900

    Here's a link to the specs for the 2.3TL's, but the 2.3's would be similar.

    The 2.3 specs at 91 dB, all the other specs are the same. However, the 2.3 and the 2.3TL are very different speakers and have very different crossovers. I'm not saying one is better than the other, just different.

    To get a copy of the owners manual contact Ken Swauger at Polk Customer Service, ask him nicely and he'll mail one to you.

    All - Thanks for the input.

    They are in great shape after I cleaned them up and have had very light duty with the previous owner. I would rate them a 9 out of 10. They did come with the IC cable as well and everthing appears to check out okay. I have also updated all the SL2000 tweeters to the RD 0194's earlier this week. I am now experimenting with room placement to find the sweet spot. It sure was easier moving the SDA IIB's around however the sound on the 2.3's is much fuller and the lows so much more defined then the II B's.

    Once you find a good spot for them don't be afraid to spike and brace then. Both will tighten up the bass and increase detail.
