Re: Looking for help identifying and dating fathers Polk Audio 10s
@DeRod You're right. Those silver basket midwoofers and passives would not have shipped originally with SL1000. And an LOL from f1 is basically a badge of honor around here 😉

Re: Looking for help identifying and dating fathers Polk Audio 10s
Something some seem to ignore. Polk changed just about everything on the fly back then, so it's entirely possible those tweeters are the original ones.
Entertaining for sure...

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
New addition to the expanding collection, this is a pre-show printing advertising the upcoming concert. And JImi Hendrix’s first appearance at the Fillmore in 1967.
This poster, for the “Opening of the Fillmore Summer Series,” is historically significant as it featured the Jimi Hendrix Experience as an opening act. This was also the first Fillmore appearance by Jimi Hendrix. These shows were just days after Jimi's appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival, where he set his guitar on fire and blew away the audience.
When this show was booked by Bill Graham, Hendrix was a relatively new name that few had heard of, and so he was billed third, opening for Gabor Szabo and the big kids on the block in San Francisco, the Jefferson Airplane. After one night or possibly two, the Airplane noticed they were playing their second set to a half-empty hall - everyone0 had been there to see Jimi Hendrix! Both Szabo and the Airplane asked if instead he would play last and they would open for HIM. Jimi Hendrix never opened for anyone again and it’s important to note that the Beatles had stopped touring in August 1966 and with the possible exception of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix was The Most Important Rock Star of the late 1960s era and until his death in September, 1970.
Gábor Szabó was a jazz guitarist, who was born in Budapest, Hungary. When he was 20, he moved to California and he later attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. In 1961, Szabo became a member of a quintet including Charles Lloyd, playing what has been described as chamber jazz, Szabo was influenced by the rock music of the 1960s, particularly the use of feedback. The song "Gypsy Queen" from Szabo's debut solo album, Spellbinder (1966), became a hit for Carlos Santana

Re: SDA Playlist
I'm not a big Dave Mathews fan, but 'Stay' sounds amazing. That guy did a great job producing a lot of his songs. Some bands/songs that I really like, sound like **** which is a bummer.
amazing

Re: Sansui amps
In looking at the Sansui amp's schematic it appears to be a "balanced" design with a "hot" amp producing the positive signal and a "cold" amp producing the negative part of the audio signal. Therefore it is not compatible with common ground speakers like the SDA.
Translated from the German owner"s manual:
The text provides a critical safety warning about the wiring of a specific amplifier with a bridged output stage. It advises against connecting the negative speaker terminals to each other or to the ground (GND) terminal on another component's chassis, as this can cause issues with the amplifier's operation or damage it.
The device has a bridged power amplifier output stage.
Negative (-) speaker terminals must not be connected together.
Negative (-) speaker terminals must not be connected to the ground (GND) terminal of another component's chassis.
Incorrect wiring can cause the speakers to be out of phase, reducing sound quality, or potentially damage the equipment.
