    I like my stock 2.3’s, and my Lsi 9’, they make my 80 year old ears happy, and my mind happier, thank you Mr. Polk.
    Some final words,

    you're going to have headaches."

    14 year old thread and still no SDA revival.
    Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

    The search for 3.1's has stretched my patience threshold hehe.

    found out yesterday that Polk Audio is not privately owned any more. Maybe the holding co. has a say so on what gets to be made and sold. I also own 2Bs but when the h/t craze hit w/ smalls and htib that was the death knell of the SDA LINE.

    Is there a published numbers list of SDA models manufactured?

    Thanks M, I looked around and didn't see any numbers. Just curious how rare the 3.1's are.

    Well they were the last of the series and had the least amount produced soooo. They came along about the time Bose hit the market with the acoustimass stuff and it took off pretty good. At that time in history many were looking for BIG sound with no foot print and many came out with a sub/satellite combo.

    Well my cabinet guy may be busy again this winter. I've been looking for some time now. Lot of 1Cs here and a couple early SDA-1s
