Polk Audio SDA 1A Stereo/Dimensional Array Speakers
This listing is for a pair of classic Polk Audio SDA 1A Stereo/Dimensional Array Loudspeakers. These are some of the most highly regarded home stereo speakers ever produced, and retailed for $1,390 a pair in 1985-1986. It looks like they have walnut cabinets that are in very good condition with some minor scrapes and one small chip on the corners and edges. The cones and rubber all looks to be in great condition with no visible cracks or splits. We played several CDs at different volumes, and they sound fantastic. They come with the original interconnect cable. This listing has a very reasonable opening bid and no reserve price, so don't miss your chance to win!

12" inches deep

Drivers: 2 - 1" tweeter, 4 - 6.5" midrange, 1 - 12" sub-bass radiator

From High Fidelity Magazine (1986):
The SDA-1's strong suit (to put it mildly) is its imaging which ranges from very good to flabbergasting, depending on the material....devastatingly dramatic...With good classical discs, the soundstage seems to open up, presenting a greater sense of depth and enveloping the listener more fully in the recorded ambiance...but it's on fancy rock recordings that the system can really strut its stuff...it really is great good fun. We find ourselves listening to unfamiliar recordings on other speakers and saying to each other, "I wonder what this would sound like on the Polks." Get an audition...it's worth the trouble just for the experience."
