    My guess, it's just a name. Marketing.

    The CompactReferenceSeries are not the same as the SignatureReferenceSeries. The CRS do not carry Matt Polk's signature. So, the minimum standard? Matt felt the SRS models were the pinnacle of the SDA line and worthy of his signature.

    There is no minimum standard, 2 different speakers that required different names is all. Much like todays model line up, different cabinets, drivers, crossovers, design, purpose. Think of the CRS as a bookie form with some SDA technology inside.

    Yes SRS as aforementioned the best of the SDA series.
    Only the models larger than the SDA1's were SRS.
    CRS is the smallest of the SDA series

    Yep, I think Matt Polk's signature is the most important aspect here.
