I just got the SDA 2B's I've been waiting for, along with a set of Monitor 10A's. For HT, I'm thinking very seriously about using my SDA 2A's for rear speakers, and the Monitor 10's for the sides. The new 2B's are going through RDO 198/crossover upgrade and will be used for mains once done. Right now I have FXi A5's and A4's for the surrounds and rears, and am thinking about replacing them with the above. What do y'all think about this idea? Thanks, :)

    I use my SDA 1-Cs as my fronts, and my Monitor 10 series 2 for my rears. And I have the RDO 194 upgrade... I think it sounds outstanding. Remember that in HT, your rears get "EFFECT SOUNDS" and the fronts are FULL LOGIC SOUND in HT.. I think SDA's as rears is defeating the purpose of the Stereo Dimensional Array, itself.

    Q: if you are using 2.3TL's as monitors in your home theater and are not usinig the A1 cable, iS it better to have the 4 row woofers to the outside (R&L) or inside (L&R)? If used to the 4 row is on the outside, then the speakers are not in correct order for A1 use. The reason for my asking is that usually the tweets are on the inside and the woofers to the outside.

    I quit using it when I had Audyssey with the Integra 9.9 and sold it off as it did interfer with the calibration and freqs. I haven't tried it with the Pio SC-37 that I have now and I wold like to give it another try. I would need a pin/blade cable. Does anyone have one for sale or are their any directions on how to make one?
