    SDA killer! That's what you are.
    Get all tuned up on Tool and start killing speakers.
    I've heard of your kind but never seen one in action.

    What's the big deal? Ok, so they don't have drivers, PR's, crossovers, oh and they are cut in half. Other than that, what's the problem?!?!:razz:

    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    actually you could repair these, then you can find some Audiofool and tell him this was a secret modification which greatly improved the tunneling moroniphysical transmission of scataphonic, and etherflatus resonances. Instant sale :razz: This single male will brag to his 3 friends (what woman would have this clown) that while you paid 300 dollars a foot for audio transmission conduit (we call it speaker cable here) I have a set of Polk SDA's with the almost unheard of TMTSE modification, so naan-nee-naa-naa :cool:

    I wish I would have taken a video of my trash man having to put the empty 1.2 cabinet into the garbage truck... I wanted to make sure they took it so I was watching from the window. He spotted me and boy was he fricken angry! Looks like the denver area is the sda dumping ground.
