I have been running a pair of Polk monitor 10s on a onkyo M58 with a Onkyo p38 preamp and I love it.
I recently found a pair of SDA CRS at an estate sale for 10 bucks without a cable. got a couple questions.
a. can I marry the two sets up together....would it sound amazing?
b. do I need an interconnect, is it critical, does it make a difference?
c. where do I get a cable or is it easy to make.
d. If I sell them what are they worth?
Thanks

    Welcome and that's a hell of a deal at $10 for CRS.
    a. Define marriage. Some work while others may be fighting all the time.
    If you use 10's as surrounds and CRS as mains, they'll work but mixing SDA (with IC cable) and non-SDA both as mains will sound off.
    b. Yes, you need an IC and it makes huge difference. Without IC cable, you don't have SDA.
    c. You can use RCA connection for now if it is pin/blade. For blade/blade, get replacement from Polk or ebay.
    d. As is you should be able to get over $100 easily.
