Polk Audio SDA 2 question

I have a chance to grab a pair of these in walnut. I would be connecting them to an Arcam a65 plus integrated amp..Any thoughts? I have never heard these but the price/condition is right and have read great things about them..any thoughts on the SDA'S?

By the way, if you couldn't find Ferrari's review, he said used an NAD 3020 amp (20 watts) to power them to good effect, said they did not need a lot of power at all.

I would recommend caution in purchasing SDA 2s! The cable that connects the right and left speaker to create the "SDA Effect" made my Denon POA 1500 amp oscillate. This resulted in nasty sounds and my returning the SDAs to the dealer. The SDA effect attracts at first but becomes tiresome.

Wasn't the Carver Sonic Hologram the same thing at the preamp level?

I remember talk of 'interaural crosstalk delay' and all that stuff.

I'd keep away from the SDAs, unless they I could audition them 1st.....and probably for a least a couple days.
