    Wow, the SRT system looks impressive.

    Just wondering how does it compare to Polk's sda speakers aside from being a 5.1 system.

    Looks wild and super cool from the pictures.

    Well done!

    The SRTs are SDA speakers.

    Did you just get them Shuedogious?

    I love my set. And I almost decided to rent a minivan to drive to Phoenix and get the full set that nhhiep was selling. But I came to my senses first. There is absolutely no way I have the room for a second set of SRT's

    After wanting a set for 25 years I just can't believe that anyone would want to sell theirs. But I sure am glad they did.

    I believe the SRT was introduced 19 years ago in 1995.

    Oldmodman, I'm glad you're enjoying them as much as I did and that they stayed in the CP family. :)

    I almost bought your SRT system in 2012. Remember?

    I was in the middle of moving from Alabama to St. Louis though and had to pass them up.

    I do remember they were very nice though and you even had the original boxes. You sent me a bunch of pics.

    Luckily, I ended up finding another SRT within driving distance from a guy in Chicago a year later.

    Does anyone have the original Sound Pressure Level meter that originally came with the SRT system?

    If so, post a picture of it.

    Oldmodman would. I included the original SPL meter that came with the set when I sold them to him. It's a Radio Shack analog meter.
