Most of my purchases for Polk speakers were used SDA's and Monitor 7A's.

Then we purchased a new house with an unfinished lighted lower level. That would become our family room with surround sound system. Wife made it clear no big speakers in all corners of the room! (Just one HUGE sub...lol) My first new purchase of a Polk product, in wall/ceiling speakers. Polk LCi265i's for R and L, LCi 65i for center and two LCi 80i for in ceiling rears. The LCi series sported swivel mounted tweeters. They are still in use today and sound great.

Unlike the SDA's, she couldn't put anything on the in walls, so she went around them.

And everybody I know prefers HotSoup to ColdSoup. The name suggestion could have been worse Dan, like Soup2Nuts or NoSoup4You!.

As a sophomore at the University of Illinois in 1991, I spent a lot of time in the dorm room of a hallmate listening to tunes through his Monitor 4's. At the end of the year we arranged to get an apartment together, and I went home and bought a pair of (bigger!) Monitor 5jr+, Series 2. Those took me through college and beyond, and they're still sounding good in use at my in-laws' house.

I later got my hands on pairs of RTA 11TL, SDA CRS, and the SDA 2Bs that are still in my rig. Countless hours spent listening to music through my Polks--No regrets!
