I recently came across a Polk Audio SRT system with the two front speakers, two subwoofers, 1 center speaker, and two control centers. I'm trying to figure out what these are worth, I think this system is discontinued. What replaced this system or was it just no longer manufactured for any reason? I have the speakers connected to a Harman Kardon AVR7200 and it sounds great but I can't figure out how to connect the subwoofers/control centers. Even with out the subs, these speakers got bass. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

These systems are becoming rather rare. In fact, I haven't seen one available for so long, I don't even know what they go for. And though the RT line had similar speakers after the SRT system, nothing ever really "Replaced" it.
For true Polkie fans, an SRT set in good condition should be worth a pretty penny. -
It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it and what you are willing to part with it for.

You need to get a power amp to start with. Ideally the sda array and the stereo array need to be run independently i.e one with the avr, one with the 2nd amp.
There is a thread on here on how to hook things up, which i found confusing,:o, but i cant seem to find it......
Its a long and complicated set up to try and explain. I'll try figure it out how to explain it easily with no confusion.In terms of audio, i truly feel sorry for the visually impaired. How can they know what they like if they cant read google?

I also got a McIntosh Power Amp MC7106, McIntosh MC 300, and Adcom ACE-515 with this system but I don't know how to plug everything up, guess I'll have to look in the forum category.

If nothing quite replaced the SRT system, what could it be comparable to today?

It appears you have amplification covered.
Here's some SRT info.

The Signature designation itself denotes "the best" of a particular speaker design given the materials and budget targeted.
There historically have been no real replacements within Polk Signature lines, so far.HT Optoma HD25 LV on 80" DIY Screen, Anthem MRX 300 Receiver, Pioneer Elite BDP 51FD Polk CS350LS, Polk SDA1C, Polk FX300, Polk RT55, Dual EBS Adire Shiva 320watt tuned to 17hz, ICs-DIY Twisted Prs, Speaker-Raymond Cable

Ya, right! That makes an unbelievable system... If you want to bring it over to my place, I'll show you how to hook it up.

To start off, Where are you located?
There's no replacement for the SRT system.
Only 500 complete sets were ever made (250 domestically and 250 international).
You only need 1 control center per set.
Like all of the polk high end speaker systems, the SRT need separate amplification.
The more power the better.
the satelite speakers are full range. They don't need the subwoofer.
The subwoofers are used mostly for augmenting lfe frequencies used in movies.
I can send you a copy of the manual just pm me.SRT For Life; SDA Forever!
The SRT SEISMIC System:
Four main satellite speakers, six powered subs, two dedicated for LFE channel, two center speakers for over/under screen placement and three Control Centers. Amaze your friends, terrorize your neighbors, seize the audio bragging rights for your state. Go ahead, buy it; you only go around once. -
I am in Costa Mesa, CA, I will be selling the SRT system along with a few other pieces on eBay, I have tested the SRT speakers with the AVR receiver but haven't quite figured out how to hook everything up with the control centers/subs/amps. I'll post links when and if they are listed under the "for sale" forum. Thanks for the info!

Here's a quick rundown on how mine will be.
AVR fr L/R speaker output to the inputs on the control center
AVR fr L/R pre outs to inputs on (ie 2ch) power amp
SDA out on the control center to the sda binding posts on speaker
Power amp direct to stereo array on speaker
For bass;
I have double adaptor of the sub preout with i/c's to the control center then out to the subs.
Anybody else hooking theirs differently, i'd be interested to know.......In terms of audio, i truly feel sorry for the visually impaired. How can they know what they like if they cant read google?
