I'm just wondering how capable my amp would be to drive these things. It does have 4 ohm speaker taps, but I just don't know if it's got the guts for the job. I don't want to replace the amp to suit the speakers I don't have yet. I want to find speakers that work with the gear I have. It's an integrated amp - replacing it would mean needing to do amp, pre, phono stage, headphone amp, cables, power... I love this amp. The room is a nice size, but it's not SO big that this amp can't be paired with speakers that will sound great in here. I just need to figure out what those speakers are....
Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance. -
Something with a horn maybe? Or a DIY high sensitivity pair?

Can the pin blade XO be modded to pin blade spec and use the AI-1? Can these be TL’ed? Just because they’re here in my town doesn’t mean they’re the ones I want.
Ok are you trying to ask if B/b can be modded to P/b?
If so short answer NO!
B/b use all mw6509
P/b use 2x6510 and 2x6511
Yes can be pin/blade can be TL'd
Inspiredsports i believe had a good thread on it. It has been a number of years ago.
Between my CRS+s and the spare parts I have, I have a pretty good start towards changing out the drivers to 6510 & 6511. If I had the drivers to do it, are the cabinets basically the same?
Most likely all new inductors as well. Cabinets should be the same.
Awful lot of work Neil -
If they're stock, other than the drivers I'd probably do it all anyway. Not for $700 for the cabinets, of course! I'm just thinking out loud, doubt I'm pulling the trigger on those.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

And they sounded fine with my KT88'sMy New Year's resolution is 3840 × 2160

And this would be the reason why Club Polk is so awesome. I’ll get in touch and figure out a time when I can shoot down. Thanks!Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.
