I was cruising the site the other day when I read about how to test if your SDA is functioning. It was the balance test. I tried it out when I got home and lo and behold my SDA was not working!! All this time I've been floored at the famous imaging of these awsome speakers! A crimped pin on one of the connectors was at fault. Now....Holy Shiite!! Now I really know what everybody is talking about! I started with Dire Straits - Love Over Gold..amazing! Then, Mark Knopfler - Sailing to Philadelphia..huge difference!! Got to be too late..got the come to bed look from the wifey..I think when I go home today, I will have a Pink Floyd fest!!! Thanks guys!!!!!!! :cool:

    That is the problem with sda's. Even when they are broken they sound great!

    Glad your SDA's woke up. Which model do you have?

    It is heartening to read about people putting what they have read on this cornucopia of a forum to practical use. The free *upgrade* to SDA must be blowing you away. ;)

    I have read some posts from others about the imaging quality of the legacy Polk speakers and have heard it in my RTA 12's (when they were used as mains) so I know where you are coming from.

    Now you have the dilemma of either listening to your new SDA's all night or going to bed.

    How about some naked pic's? The SDA's of course :D
