    I remember seeing those before. I think Russman had some info on them......send him a email.

    Thanks, but don't want to bug Russ with trivia right now...

    I do have some vague recollection of a similar Polk speaker being discussed here, but could not find it.

    I think they are older than the seller seems to think they are, based on the spring connects, if nothing else.

    Interesting ... SDS(ound) as opposed to SDA(rray) and of course there doesn't appear to be one of the latter. Initial production date and price appear to be 1989 & $300 respectively with average used at around $90.

    It would be intersting to know more about the technology behind these.

    From Orion:

    Manufacture Years: 1989 - 1996

    I haven't ever seen those either. They would have been around when I initially bought my Rt16's though.....

    Looks to me like a complement to SDA. Kinda the same, with an interconnect. Maybe to use SDA's for HT before HT got big??? interesting...

    I couldn't let these go, for what reason I have no idea. I guess I'll hook them up and see what they sound like.

    I will do that. I already emailed Ken in the other post to see if I could get the literature he mentioned.
