Hi to all Stereo Gods and Goddesses! I am here because I am meddling in my husband's acoustic prowess. As we are designing our new house we are thinking about speakers in our great room/living room. My husband is convinced that the Polk SDA speakers (I think that they are about 15 years old) are the epitomy of what a speaker should be and is actively looking on Ebay to buy a pair. I am contending that something so old and large (each speaker is about 5 feet tall?) must be out of date and impossible to repair and that there must be something on the market far better today.
Can anyone add some input to this discussion and perhaps suggest some more contemporary models that we might look at. Maybe I'm way off and the Polks are 'the bomb' but as a relative neophite to acoustics, I need some help to understand.
