    The SurroundBar doesn't "get away" with it, as it follows the same SDA principle they all do.

    What I meant was it "gets away" with it because even though it's a smaller foot print it couldn't be achieved if it were vertical. The reason it can follow the same SDA principle IS because its horizontal. I wasn't inferring it was some new principle even though it uses DSP as well.

    The current use of SDA technology is not the same as the SDA speakers of old. That's what, some of us at least, would like to see made again. The excuse of folks wanting a smaller footprint doesn't really hold water as there is a vast number of large speakers still being made and selling today. Granted, it's a limited market compared to the Polk of todays target market and that is the real issue.

    The SurroundBar 360 uses DSP coupled with the SDA array.

    Yes, and it's not any fun ;)

    And it's not a stereo pair of speakers, kind of of the subject, unless your are helping me make my point that anything new coming from Polk SDA related will be DSP driven.
    Dodd - Battery Preamp
    Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
    Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
    ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
    DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
    Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
    Outlaw ICBM - crossover
    Beringher BFD - sub eq

    Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!

    The last few posts make zero sense so I'll move on.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Like a CRS+? With dedicated (fillable) stands.

    Put a set of 2B or CRS crossovers in a pair of LSi9's and sit them on their sides.
    Over simplified, Yes. Would it work? Don't thinks so because of the impedance. But the basic theory, design and concept are right there.

    Prototype pair by October.:D
    Yes sir:)
    I'm working on it. One idea is an in wall solution just to go even further into the "you can't do that in a small package" by small mind mentality:rolleyes:
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    That's the main point. The SDA technology with today's technology in reproduction should yield some pretty sweet sounds. I'm working on a system that employs both, but it would be nice if Polk could resurrect a fantastic sound for the masses to enjoy once again.

    One can hope right? ;)

    I sold my Klipschorns and held onto my SRS II's. I simply adore them!
