    Are you talking about using Sonic Holography with the SDA's? If so, I guess that would be personal opinion but it's my understanding thru the years that Polk did it the "passive" route whereas Carver did it electronically. I've honestly not sat and listened to it being engaged from my Carver C-1 preamp on the SDA's. I just listen to it w/o it and with the tone controls turned off. That's enjoyable enough for me. With both, it might be too much dimensional effect. YMMV.

    That's what I thought. Just wanted an opinion. C-1's are nice simple and pure. Anybody else?

    I can't get past the added noise when the Sonic Holography is engaged to sit down and listen to it. I'm with avguytx on this one, tone controls and Holography both off.

    The two of them together is worse than a 70's Japanese receiver driving a pair of Klipsch.

    Yeah, that combination kinda reminded me of drinking Orange Juice after brushing your teeth.

    From sonic memory. I heard an 'Omnisonic Imager' through SDA's and it was sort of like being on N02 at the dentist.
    Carvers sonic holography is more subtle then OI however.
    Has anyone here listened to a 'Q'sound recording through SDA's? I've never had the chance to hear that, the effect is probably close to what's being asked here.
    I'd guess the odds of two products doing the same basic fixed dance would not line up in timing, that would probably take DSP.
