    Maybe 150 if they're super clean. They are early with the peerless tweets, so that helps...

    I typically find them @ 100 or less. But YMMV based on location.

    It's very possible that @LoStrings has been a lurker for a while and used this find as a way to introduce and enamor themselves with the CP group...

    Or they're just being very sneaky >:)

  • Thanks guys...yes it was a little rough, but I get it. About two weeks ago I acquired a Original set of SRS SDA's that I purchased off of Ebay from the original owner. I happened to live up the street from the seller, so I ran over there to grab the deal. I am not sure, but I think @Verb was interested in this same set, because when I was looking at these, the seller told me a guy from Michigan was interested, and I was looking at this thread, and I seen @Verb talking about these Polk's. Anyway, I am in love with these because of the SDA. I mostly own Horn's (Altec Lansing Model 19's x4,EV sentry 3's, Altec 809C Bolero's, EV sentry 500's) so the SDA is a new experience for me. I really enjoy the sound stage they present. I've been looking at the mod's, and I am planning to start my list after I get more listening time with them. This is a great site for any Polk enthusiast, for the information, and camaraderie. I am hoping to learn as much as I can so I can get the most out of these speakers.

    I have a pair of RSIIIa, and they have ousted my SDA-2B. It may boil down to EMIT tweets vs soft silk-dome.
