    Everyone knows all amps sound the same.

    If it's able to power a load without distorting or having current issues......I agree to an extent. But I've heard amp swaps on 150k systems alter the presentation of the same song back to back.

    Ordered a 4 pack of 194 tweeters to replace my SDAs originals, also going to get an old pair of monitor 5s to setup elsewhere in the house for fun.

    As a general rule, never listen the following users on anything: @bcwsrt,...

    Actually, it would be more efficient to list the member names of the people you can trust, but there are only one or two, and they're Polk bots.
    I disabled signatures.

    Made some major changes in the interim while looking for SRSs, wall mounted a new 85 inch Sony Bravia XR to eliminate the imaging issue in the center.....also bought an anthem MRX-740-8k to serve as preamp/surround and video control.

    Interconnects are all tributaries series 8 now, debating power cables too but first I'm going to setup the streamer so I can stop using an iPad and Spotify.

    The old SDAs are performing amazingly better now, not at all the same sound and I haven't touched them at all. I'm probably going to order a VR3 crossover though so I can use these as I hunt for a set of perfect SRSs. Honestly though I'm stunned at how good these are stock

    Oh do you guys think a CRS would be a good center channel vs what I'm using now? Current is a paradigm reference

    I also need front hight speakers and was considering a set of monitor 4/5s since they would match the SDAs well, thoughts?

    These might be the ones, they look good and according to the seller they already have the updated tweeters. I'll just have to figure out transport....

    Off topic of the SRSs but what search term(s) should I use when looking for a set of early mini monitors with the peerless tweeter? I want to try a pair for a small space but can't find any for sale
