    I have been a member of the Forum since June 2014, but owned Polk speakers since the late 80's.

    Since I joined the Forum, I have to say this offer is the first genuine recognition and appreciation of the most loyal base of Polk Audio customers.

    Thank you Polk Audio for the Polk Family.

    I kinda disagree with the above statement....Polk did a lot for the forum faithful back in the day.

    Has anybody heard the L-800s and SDA-2Bs and compared? I have fully modded SDA-2BTLs and want to get some feedback on how they might compare.

    Man, if (anyone is listening at Sound United) I could get a demo pair for Polkfest.....I'd cover shipping to and from.......and dozens of Polk faithful could get a solid demo of them.

    Just saying....

    It would be interesting to know if this is all filled up with the 50 people yet. If I hadn't just bought the R600's, like a month ago, I would have been all over this...

    @ambiophonics Polk has continued to refine the SDA technology as well as driver components and materials. While the stereo benefits of a L800 and something like a SDA-2B are similar, there's two decades of advancements behind the L800.

    In short, the L800 is the most advanced speaker that Polk has ever created.

    Odd first post.

    Well, I just placed and order for the L800’s in walnut, a L400 in black, and for the heck of it ordered a pair of the L900’s. Now I have to try and sell off my LSiM setup.

    The LSiM line still works fine with the Legend line for home theater, especially for surround duty, so may be little reason to get rid of them altogether as long as space is available. Dolby is going nuts with Atmos surround options for speakers these days.

    I did decide to swap out my LSiM706C for the L400 though but mostly for looks. For sound quality the 706C would have been fine. The LSiM704C is too small to match with the L800s, IMHO.

    I would say the L800s are the best speakers Polk has produced when straight from the factory. They can be bested for stereo use by 1.2TL or 2.3TL setups as long as those are heavily updated from the original versions. The no replacement for displacement thing. Maybe by the SRT mains too, but I've never heard those and haven't seen signs of those being upgraded with better internal parts. The L900 height modules really do work too.
