    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    Both have that vintage sound that is still sought out after all these years. SDA's need more room for sure. The RTA's are much more forgiving placement wise.

    I have the RTA-8T's. Naturally they don't have the all encompassing sound of the SDA, but they are a very good speaker that performs very well.

    Once I hooked them up to a 205wpc amplifier, I discovered just how good they can sound. Mine are 19 years old and still sounding great.
