Most preferred SDA Model?

So, I've recently come back to the Polk family after having procured a set of LSiM707s (Cherry finish) and find them incredibly crafted and musical. I've recently been thinking of going back and adding a pair of SDA speakers to my dedicated two channel room. While it is not a large room, I've had decent experience with larger speakers so trying to discern which speaker model might be best. I've owned the SDA-1B and 1C before and enjoyed them both. What would be considered the best imaging SDA model? Maximum output is not as relevant to me as musicality. Local to me right now are a pair of CRS, SRS 1.2TL (way overpriced right now), 1C's and even an SRT system within reasonable drive distance. While the SRT system is too big for my two channel room, if they were superior to my 707s, I might consider moving the 707s to the 2 channel room and letting the SRTs (or 1.2s) move into my larger home theater/living room.

So fellow Polkies any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

    There's been at least 2 other threads on this very topic in the last couple of weeks.

    How big is your room? The big boys (1.2TLs) need lots of space.

    I have a pair of SDA 2BTL and love them.

    Other than the 2Bs (or 2BTL), the 2.3TL and CRS+ models seem to get the best reviews on this forum but, of course, any SDA is a great speaker.

    Is your 2 channel room the same room you had the SDA-1B & C in?

    It is indeed. It is only about 10X10 but have found larger speakers have actually worked very well, as I don't tend to push them to overload the room.

    Thank you, that is good to know since 10x10 is about all I have to work with too. I have been thinking of some Monitor 7 if any ever pop up around here. Of course if any SDA should surface that are cheap they will be coming home.

    does anyone have a pic with a 1.2 right next to an SRT? i've never owned the 1.2, and trying to get rid of my SRT's.
