    The SDA 2b or 1c or CRS+ would be a speakers id recommend as great flexible speakers that are easy to drive with "most" receivers & amplifiers & worth the coin to upgrade.

    Woodland Hills, right off the 101 @Valley Circle. If you want to try SDA, I will keep a look out for a set up here. Hopefully some 1c’s will come around. I may even be able to pick them up for you and hold them until you can come up.

    How do you have 350+ posts here and not know the answer to this question? It is time you try some SDAs, if for no other reason, just to say you have owned/heard them.

    I know. I jumped in 2016 with the RTi series seeking advice and ended up with s60s and 703s and a bunch of other gear but yet to get some SDAs. I guess I am a new school Polk fan though I am old.

    It’s a bit of a haul for you, but you are welcome to come by and hear what SDA’s are all about.

    That’s a very generous offer. I may take you up on it at some point. You are in LA?

    There is a set of 2b’s for sale in Placentia for 250. Those would be a great way to go.

    Can't comment earlier?
    Vanilla should seriously consider a new flavor.
