    Very nice Ken. Read part one thorugh and will save part tow for later. Also added the link to the "Library" to my favorites. Thank you.

    On a different matter, could you or one of your colleagues give us a little background on this old Polk?

    Hello,
    That is the SDS-400 speaker system, an early surround sound speaker system providing SDA retrieval of ambient information and producing it from the rear or side locations. This is the grandpa of today's home theater surround sound. If any reader would like, let me know a fax number or U.S. Mail address and I'll send a copy of the owner's manual, at no charge. My email address is kswauger@polkaudio.com.
    Regards, Ken

    Thanks for the link Ken. That was a great read. It really makes you wonder if we're moving forward or backwards in terms of sound quality. It's also interesting to find out that amplifier technology haven't had any major breakthrough in the past 50 years.

    Good information indeed.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
