    Congrats . . . I think??? I am curious as to why you sold them if you don't mind me being a budinsky.

    Funny thing, Sal's 1.2tls front plates are two different colors too, one is plumb, the other black. While we were doing his xover upgrades this past week we were wondering about the two different color plates as mine are both black. After giving them a good looking over, it was concluded that they were sun faded. I guess that was wrong.

    Does anyone know if indeed they were intentionally made two different colors? Maybe to designate channel differences.

    This is a FS thread but the deal has already been consumated so I'll pose a question. I'm also curious why you decided to sell them after such a short time with them (esp. the RD0's)? What costlier speaker are you considering that might better the SDA's? There certainly are many to choose from but I'd think a serious outlay of cash would be nec. to get something nicer.

    Perhaps you are just looking for something different. Not throwing stones or trying to start a debate. Just curious as to what you did and didn't care for with respect to the SDA's. I suppose they aren't every person's flavor, so I'm curious.

    No it wasnt intentional to have them diiferent colors or shades. From what I can gather it had to do with the anodizing process, some seem to be fine over time others appear to almost bleed in areas.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    i liked the polks alot. lets be clear about that. but at the same time i like other speakers also. i had a pair of infinity rs2b's for a long time and liked them alittle better then the polks. so when a pair of infinity rs1b's came up for sale i decided to go for it. these speakers have twice the amount of drivers then the 2b's but the same sound characteristics but alot more of it. alot more of it the last time i heard a pair. so im taking a chance and sold the polks and buying the 1b's.. will i be happy??. who knows for sure,but why not take a chance for better sound. we only live once,might as well try it. if it dosent work out, i can always sell and try again. i will miss the polks,but at least i can say i had a pair. thanks to all who chimed in on this. tom t
