I searched,no info found.I am interested in a pair of SDA-SRS that are for sale.I have a pair of LSi15,run with 300wpc amp.If anyone is well familiar with both,please can you opine on the 2 in a comparison?My listening room is well damped,12x20x8.Many thanks! p.s. may be worth mentioning that nearly 100 per cent of my listening is acoustic fare,the likes of 'bebop',such as Gene Harris,Oscar Peterson,RayBrown,et al,etcetera.

    this is almost apples to oranges.

    I side by sided my SDA 1B's and the LSi and preferred the LSi, thats not to say I dont have a warm spot in my heart for SDA's


    if you got a bead on SRS's, then you need to get them and let your ears evaluate it. The differences, as well as the sound from the SDA SRS's, is just something you have to experience, words just won't do it.

    from a general standpoint, I like the high's better in the LSi's. I give the edge to LSi's in the detail department, but width of soundstage and overall presence will most definitly go to the SRS (hence the "you have to experience it" aspect of my argument)

    the big SDA's (and some smaller ones for that matter) should always be on the audio enthusiasts list of speakers to get alot of ear time on
