Polk newbie, SDA-1C ??
Hello, I'm relatively new to club Polk, but have been lurking and searching for info on locating a pair of SDA's. Thanks to club polk I have a nice pair of SDA-1C's on the way, S/b here today from Dpasl, (thanks btw). Anyway, does anyone have specs on these? Iv'e searched club polk for specs, but have found conflicting info, especially concerning sensitivity. Every where from 90-95dbs.
These are replacing a pair of Pioneer HPM-100's in my vintage system. What got me interested in these again was listening to a friends pair of SDA SRS's driven by a Hafler DH500. The soundstage blew me away as it did when I auditioned them in the mid 80's. Back then I didn't really give them a second thought as they were WAY out of my price range, but I think the soundstage affected me in speaker selection to this day. Anyway, thanks for any information you may have on these. I'll post a review of these this weekend.

95dB for the SDA1B and SDA1, not the SDA1C. Only a couple SDA models drop into the 80's for sensitivity, and they are very high 80's.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
