I had a pair of the SDA SRS. I wish that I  still had them, sometimes.  

 

I remember being invited to an Audio King store in the Twin Cities to listen to those.  They were set up in a dedicated room that seated about 30 people and it was packed.  My best friend and I went.  They played demo scenes from a few different movies.  It was pretty wild.

Reminds me of a review of a pair of Sansui speakers from the early-80's. The reviewer noted:  "At least you get a lot of hardward for the money"....which was their highest praise for anything about the set. :)

 

 

I heard one of these not too long ago, a friend of mine was selling a pair because he moved to a smaller place.

They sounded not as bad as many are trying to imply.
