SS, not tube. Never heard it myself, but is supposed to be similar to Polk SDA, i.e. crosstalk cancelling.Signature goes here

I like'm. Nice warm character. Sonic Holography is very simlar to SDA, albeit a smaller sweet spot.Source: Bluesound Node 2i - Preamp/DAC: Benchmark DAC2 DX - Amp: Parasound Halo A21 - Speakers: MartinLogan Motion 60XTi - Shop Rig: Yamaha A-S501 Integrated - Shop Spkrs: Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2

The C1 also has a decent phono stage if you are into vinyl.2 Channel:

Sonic Holography runs full frequency. Polk discovered better results could be had by limiting the crosstalk cancellation to a smaller mid band frequency range.Political Correctness'.........defined

I wish I had a smaller mid band and a tighter back band!!!
Nothing wrong with the Carver per say, as long as the price is right, I heard one only once and really cant add anything except to say I like my Polk SDA's.
