New SDA's from Polk!

At least the subject title made you look
What would be your design parameters if Polk decided to design a new SDA speaker? Mine are below...
I would want the SDA function done passively in the crossovers like the older generation SDA's, not in an external preamp box like they used for the SRT's.
Book shelf speakers on stands would be OK with me, at least as a start.
A passive radiator would be nice but whatever works is fine.
A tweeter similar to the LSi's (or one with that much detail) is necessary.
The sound should be aimed at the two channel crowd. Maybe it should be matched to an existing model that could be used for
The cosmetics should shout "I have balls and finess as well" when you look at them.
The SDA cable should not have connectors on them. Maybe special looking 5 way binders.
The SDA circuit should be isolated.

Vifa Ring Radiator Tweeters
Powered Sub
Higher Efficiency (90db or better)
Carpet Spikes

Silk dome tweet, period. The ring radiator ain't BAD, but it just doesn't draw me into the music, it lacks emotion, warmth. (imo)
Sealed design, period - beit passive radiator or a larger active woofer.
A more 'standard' SDA interconnect would be a plus. Even if it was a simple RCA connector or speaker cable, one could upgrade easily to match the other cables in their system.
If the SDA voodoo could be put in a SEPERATE (passive or active) box BEFORE the speaker cables - maybe that could open the door for use with NCG amps and monoblocks - without having to go the A1 route etc.
Keep the cosmetics simple, and straight forward like the old.Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service. -
I would save money by using cheap cables or other things that people who like to tweak can fix themselves.
They have to be totally passive to make me happy as an audiophile.
I have been wondering about the LSi's. I wonder if you could create an sda system using an lsi15 with a lsi9 mounted on the outside of each one (keeping the woofers the correct distance away from each other) with an outboard crossover. Sounds like something someone could put a kit together for??

Done, and Done! I am going to build them. I am thinking along the same route with a Nuetrik 4 conductor custom speaker wire. No brainier plug, and play. It will be easy on the amp, and will make the women happy with it's small dimensions:DPlease. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

Two stacks of 4 of these little beauties for each channel and you've got yourself a mini SDA but with the legendary sound quality of BOSE .:eek:
Hey Hey Hey don't muck it up:p
