I have an opportunity to purchase either a pair of Polk Audio SDA SRS 2 (blade/blade) speakers or a pair of SDA SRS 3.1 TL speakers. Both are in good shape. Sellers are both asking around $500 for...

Please do post photos and plenty of details on your upgrade.

I have a pair of minty RTA-12C speakers which originally came with SL-1000 tweets. I've since swapped them out for original black...

I just used the heated screw method you suggested. Worked like a charm on several snapped pegs or treelocks from a couple of Monitor 7C speakers I picked up at a thrift shop.

I started this thread because I was considering purchasing a NAD 7400. However, after all of the feedback I decided against buying one. So I'm afraid I can't tell you if that would sound much...

Not sure why my photo was inverted while uploading from my iPhone. Lets try that again... 84016

So I bought the NAD 7020 integrated amp and am currently using it as a preamp in conjunction with the NAD 2400THX power amp. There is more than enough power to drive my Polk Audio RTA 12C speakers!...

Great idea! So I have the opportunity to by a nice 7020 locally (missing it feet) or pick up a 7020e (which has the digital tuner) elsewhere. Is the "e" model just as good of a preamp as the non-e...

I just realized that although I do not yet have a preamp to test out my recently acquired NAD 2400THX power amplifier, I can still test it by connecting my Cambridge Audio phono pre directly. Since...

Thanks DaveHo! I really appreciate that explanation.

I will now start my search for a nice NAD pre-amp with a good built in phono-pre that I can connect to my NAD 2400THX power amp.

Thanks...

So how then do I connect them in 'stereo' mode (not bridged)? Maybe I'm not using the correct nomenclature here. Or, is the reason this is not possible due to the fact that my speakers are not 8 ohm?...

For those who say the 7400 integrated amplifier can't be bridged and that it's not 2 ohm capable, I offer this direct quote from its owners manual: "While the 7400 is conservatively rated at 100...

So far one voter against bridging and another in favor. Any other opinions? If the amps will each 'see' 2 ohms, I don't see what the problem would be. I'm told the RTA 12C speakers need real clean...

I'm looking to power a pair of Polk RTA 12C speakers with my NAD 2400THX power amp and a NAD 7400 integrated. Since the speakers are 4 ohm rated, is it possible/advisable to bridge the 2400 & 7400...

Yesterday I pulled the trigger on an NAD 2400 THX power amp and will soon try to obtain a NAD 1130 pre amp that I have my eyes on. The 2400 provides 100wpc at 8Ohm, so it should have plenty of juice...

Still haven't pulled the trigger on an amp yet. Now I'm considering something like a NAD 1700pre with a 2400 or 2700 power amp. Or maybe a NAD 7250PE or C 325BEE with a power amp. Thoughts on these?...

I would also like to know that their efficiency is. I don't see anything in the Model 11 (R.T.A. 11) manual showing the dB rating unfortunately. My guess would be around 92dB, but I'm no expert.

I'm seriously considering an Acurus DIA-100 now. The reviews I'm reading sound great! I think the punchy lows and slightly emphasized mid-treble would sound good with my RTA 12C's with the peerless...

yes... I meant to say I had "Model" 11, not Monitor 11 speakers. My bad.

Thanks again for pointing out that I don't have normal pre-outs on my A/V receiver. I was very close to buying a power amp...

I have the R.T.A. 11 (or as some call them, Model 11) speaker. Not the 'T' or 'TL' models. They have a 12" PR below the mids and black-domed Peerless tweeters. I believe there are several threads on...

Thanks for your advice!

It's my understanding that the R.T.A. 11 only came with the peerless tweeters (at least that is what a Polk rep recently told me). My R.T.A. 12C's came with the...

posted duplicate... sorry

I recently acquired a minty pair of R.T.A. 12C speakers as well as a pair of equally nice R.T.A. 11 (or as some call them Monitor 11) loudspeakers. Both have the black Peerless tweeters, as I swapped...

I just picked up a pair of RTA 11 speakers via Craigslist. Other then one snapped binding post, these look absolutely mint. We tested the mids for magnet shift and cabinet seals by gently pushing on...
