    I had no idea the TL versions of the 2.3's added that much to the value of them. Thanks for correcting me.

    Worth $1300, sure IMO, but they don't go for that on ebay...

    Only three 2.3 tl's in my files. They went for $800, 900, and 1000. The $800 ones were a bit nasty, but the others were nice looking.

    Plain 2.3's ran from low $600's to 800, with a couple outliers in the 900's. I've eight data points there.

    While the new tweeters have leveled that field to a large degree and upgrading the crossovers results in a much improved speaker vs. stock, the TL still means something. The TL series have better built cabinets, the bass brace option, the AI-1 option and a more refined crossover.

    Not true. The 1.2's and TL models are the same except for the tweets and crossover values. It is only the SDA-SRS which has a slightly different enclosure design and a more complicated crossover. :)

    Cabinet structure and 6510 drivers for mid-woofers would mean 2A, not that I could tell any difference between 2A and early 2B I owned though. For this vintage, I don't think it matters. The "real" 2B's with the end caps are the only ones I'd value now, and then only for appearance.
