General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: speakers for classic rock and blues

Top ones are the Polk Audio SDA-SRS, there was also a Gen 2 called the SRS 1.2

Bottom ones are the Polk Audio SDA-1C, there was another variant with tweeters side by side instead of over top each other. The side by side version never sounded right to me, blurred the sound but the over/under version with tweeters turned 90 degrees sounded much better. It gave it more of a line source like the big SRS models.

The link lists the models and if you dig around that site look for the technical explanation of how they work.

I gave my father the SDA-1C speakers back in '92-'93 and they are still playing well to this day. Every time I go there I turn them on for a listen and remind him that if he ever wants to get rid of them that I am first dibs on getting them back.

Both these speakers throw a huge sound stage that sounds great anywhere around the room BUT, when you sit in the sweet spot they do something that few other speakers will do.
