SDA 1B vs MB Quart QLSP44XL
Options
Aquired these Quarts yesterday.
Hooked up by themselves. Various types of music.
Thought they were really good. And they are.
But the Polk's still do it all better

I've only had experience with MB Quart car speakers. They could sound really good but you had to tame the tweeters. The titanium dome tweeters were very detailed but could be shrill if not tuned properly.
How are the tweets on the home speakers?Stan

They did a very good job of controlling the tweeters.
I compared them to my RTI8 towers tonight, and the Quarts blew them away. Better bass, better treble
