SDS SRS 2.3TL craigslist Ft collins CO BEWARE

[zarrdoss]

There are a pair of these on CL Fort Collins CO in platteville that have three blown tweets (two on one and one on the other) and one blown 6 1/2" and he's trying to pass them off as all working. I went to look at and he kept going down on price when I found another tweeter not working. Also he mentioned he used to "play" guitar through them, not good. If you could get for 2-300 and want a project it might be worth it, but they also needed completely new grill and side cloth and wood refinnished, just thought you might like to know.

I will never understand why people play their guitars through their home audio speakers. I've heard of quite a few people doing that...and have even seen a few of my friends do it.

Those speakers aren't designed for the strain that an actual guitar puts on them...that's a slightly higher current signal than your average home audio setup...

Good looking on the heads up.

Thanks thanks thanks!!!

His add says $500 obo, If he was in NJ they would be mine!, $500 is cheap for those speakers.

If I bought them I would automatically be buying 6 new RD0's and I have Dozens of spare MW's

Yeah Sal is right, the price isn't bad for the condition. That said there is one major concern, "The front covers on both have alot of snags on them from kittens climbing on them", which means that the rubber surrounds on all the drivers and PR's should be closely inspected for small holes/tears from kitty claws.

Anyone remember Disco Mike and his kitty defiled 1C's?

[zarrdoss]

well he might go as low as 400 cash if you flashed it right in front of him. I looked closely with a flashlight and did not see any holes in the surrounds, but the house stunk worse than a bar (with cig smell) and I had to get out of there.

[nooshinjohn]

how low did he go on price before you walked away?
is there anybody willing to set up a chain to get these to Lafayette Indiana?

[zarrdoss]

he went to 5 but he was asking 700 at that time and that was several months ago.His add now says 500 obo so 4 or 450 would probably get you there. I dont have anything that I own to transport them in, I was going to have to have a friend help me with his truck.

I saw an e-bay listing the other day where the seller was going to transfer them by Greyhound. I never thought about that before. Not sure if that large a package would even be accepted, and also not sure if it would be a good idea. Might be cheaper than f.o.b. shipment.

[zarrdoss]

I also found these but have not looked at them

You're certainly finding a lot of excuses not to buy those speakers. Considering that the average pair goes @ $1000.00, these for $400 or $500.00 are priced right. Spend a few hundred more fixing them up and you've got a nice pair of speakers.

I would but money is kind of tight right now and I already have some SDA SRS 2.3 just not the TL that are in excellent shape. I think the next step for me will be the 1.2 TL but we will see. I know I am the ultimate procrastinator. I see the 1.2 TL in Denver often for around 1500 to 2000.

If I were you I'd buy the 2.3TL's and sell you 2.3's, Use the money you get to upgrade/fix the 2.3TL's, You would be moving in the correct direction.

There are many people who own the 2.3TL's that have no desire or need to own the 1.2TL's.

But, if you ever wanted to sell the 2.3TL's that would be easy as well and your next step would have to be the 1.2TL's

[Toolfan66]

I am going to go look at them today,could be a fun project,and with wanting to do a 2 channel setup, Could be a fun good start. Im right here in Thornton working so won,t be a bad drive at all.

I saw these the other day, thought about going to look at them as well.

[zarrdoss]

I got him to agree to 450, please go get these so wont be tempted anymore. Its a great project but I just dont have the time or money right now. I just hate when people who know something is messed up and try and pass it off as working correctly. If you get them keep me posted on how it is going.
