I just bought a pair of the original Polk SDA2's with the
2 tweeters and 3 midrange speakers. I love them but
I'm wondering how they compare to the 2a's and 2b's?
I think the 2a's only had 2 midrange and 1 tweeter.
Why did they make the 2a's with less drivers than the
2's? Does anyone know what years the 2's were made?
What was the layout of the 2b's? Appreciate any
info,
Mike

    I am only guessing but I think the SDA 2's were in the 1987-88 era.


    Here is a bad photo of the 2B
    Dodd - Battery Preamp
    Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
    Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
    ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
    DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
    Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
    Outlaw ICBM - crossover
    Beringher BFD - sub eq

    Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!

    I saw in your earlier post you don't have the interconnect cable, man you are missing the coolest part of owning the SDA speaker.
    It is easy to make the interconnect cord.
    Warning, do not use mono amps with the interconnect cord attached.

    I talked to the guy who I bought the speakers from and he
    does have the cable. He is in the process of moving and
    hopefully he will find the cable soon. I can't wait to hear
    the sda2's with the cable, they sound great even without
    it. I'm using the sda2's in a 5:1 setup as my front speakers.
    Polk does still sell the blade type interconnect cable for
    $35 so if the guy can't find his cable, I'll buy one from Polk.
