I have here a mint set of two SDA-1Cs that I found in a closet in the basement, Ive hooked them up so some compoinets that we had laying around and have been listening to them for about a week and now ive got to wondering; how are these things supposed to be setup any way?

Left speaker on left, right speaker on right. Interconnect cable between them. COMMON GROUND AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER.
At least 3' from side walls, generally about a foot or less from rear wall. Listening position about the same distance from speakers as they are far apart.

I would go back into the closet and drag out the Parasound 3500 that is gathering dust in there and hook that up while you are at it.
I would suggest more but I am cleaning out all my closets hoping for a pleasant surprise. Not holding my breath tho.

What?
Best find ever. Hopefully you have the interconnect cable, otherwise I believe you can make one. Definitely use the cable and you will hear the 3d magic! -
