I have SDA's in my HT setup and LOVE them! I have 1C's as fronts, 2's as my rears with a CS400i center and a Polk 505 subwoofer. All my friends love my system. Watched 'Inception' last night and it...

I got my new Polk 505 subwoofer and love it!! Watched 'Inception' last night and the LFE was fantastic, much stronger than my 450. Thanks for the recommendation, the price is great. Highly recommend...

I use my SDA's for stereo listening and also in a home theatre. I have the 1 C's as fronts, 2's as rears and a Polk PSW450 as the subwoofer. I'm thinking of upgrading the sub to a Polk 505 which has...

I can see that the 505 has double the power which does sound like a good upgrade. Has anyone owned both subwoofers and had a chance to really compare them? Also I have Polk SDA speakers, any idea...

I have a POLK PSW450. Do you think the 505 would be a big upgrade from the 450?
Thanks, Mike

Great call on Child of Vision. I dug out my Breakfest in America cd and COV did sound great. I didn't quite get the 3 d sound you got but it sounded great. Definitely get Crime of the Century on cd,...

Sounds great!

Can't wait to hear them.

Any consensus on whether the Polk SDA's sound better with the grills on or off? I've been playing my SDA 1C's with the grills on and off to see which I prefer and can't make up my mind. What do you...

I recently upgraded my receiver to an Onkyo 876 with a Panasonic blu-ray player. I have to say the results are amazing. I've always loved my SDA 1C's
but they are incredible now. The sound quality...

Interesting! There are a lot of cd's that give me a great SDA affect but NMWITW isn't one of them. I played the Eagles cd and it's just so so in the SDA department. Wonder why your system is getting...

I have SDA 1C's as my fronts, SDA 2's as the rears and the CS400i as my center and I love it. The CS400i meshes very well with the SDA's IMO.

Aren't the Polk SDA 1C's considered 6 ohms. I just bought an Onkyo 876 receiver that has bridging capability but it says the speakers must be 8 ohms or higher. It sounds like SDA 1C's are not a...

My test figures were for the 875 which is a better amp than the 806. The 805, 875 and 876 are 50 pound beasts with burr brown dacs and are awesome
receivers. Onkyo cheaped out on the 806 and it...

The reviews I've read of Onkyo's over the years say they match their power ratings. The 805,875 and 876 Onkyo's are incredible receivers, truly 130 WPC driving 5 channels. Check out this bench test...

Anyone have an opinion on the Onkyo 876? Here are the specs:

It's supposed to be very powerful and you can bridge the front...

I'm thinking of getting either an Onkyo, Denon or Marantz AV receiver in the $700 range. Anyone have the Marantz 5003, Onkyo 806 or Denon 889 paired with SDA's? If so, what's your opinion. I listen...

I've been thinking of getting the Onkyo 806 or 876 myself. How does the bridging work on the fronts for the 876? I have Polk SDA 1C's which only have one set of posts so they can't be bi amped, can...

I've pretty much decided to buy the 806, I think it's the best bang for your buck receiver. I've read mostly rave reviews of it. Have you had the blue dot issue with blu ray, apparently it can...

What are the reviews on Macc? Quite a few reviews I've read give high marks for the Audsessy.
Mike

Does the Pioneer receiver have the 'Audyssey' setup for the setup and playback of the speakers? This feature seems to get good ratings on other receivers.
Mike

Duh, you're right! I just looked at mine and they do have one pair. I'm not sure why I thought they had 2. Guess that rules out bi-amping them.
I went to Circuit city today and they are selling the...

I'm open to other makes of receivers, I'm trying to hold my budget to $1000. I'm reading a great review of the Yamaha 863. I'm looking for a receiver that does good upscaling to 1080p and has great...

I've been driving my 4 Polk SDA's along with a big Polk Center channel for years with an Onkyo 595 receiver rated at 75 WPC and have never had a problem. I can play 5.1 SACD's and dvd audios and they...

Thanks for your response, I see you have the Onkyo 606, how do you like it?
I'm not very smart about bi amping and bi wiring. This is what the Onkyo
806 owners manual says about it:

The FRONT...
