    Everyone knows all amps sound the same.

    If it's able to power a load without distorting or having current issues......I agree to an extent. But I've heard amp swaps on 150k systems alter the presentation of the same song back to back.

    Ordered a 4 pack of 194 tweeters to replace my SDAs originals, also going to get an old pair of monitor 5s to setup elsewhere in the house for fun.

    As a general rule, never listen the following users on anything: @bcwsrt,...

    Actually, it would be more efficient to list the member names of the people you can trust, but there are only one or two, and they're Polk bots.
    I disabled signatures.

    Made some major changes in the interim while looking for SRSs, wall mounted a new 85 inch Sony Bravia XR to eliminate the imaging issue in the center.....also bought an anthem MRX-740-8k to serve as preamp/surround and video control.

    Interconnects are all tributaries series 8 now, debating power cables too but first I'm going to setup the streamer so I can stop using an iPad and Spotify.

    The old SDAs are performing amazingly better now, not at all the same sound and I haven't touched them at all. I'm probably going to order a VR3 crossover though so I can use these as I hunt for a set of perfect SRSs. Honestly though I'm stunned at how good these are stock

    Oh do you guys think a CRS would be a good center channel vs what I'm using now? Current is a paradigm reference

    I also need front hight speakers and was considering a set of monitor 4/5s since they would match the SDAs well, thoughts?
