:confused: For those of us that have sda's this might not apply to you. I have had a pair of monitor 10 series 2 for a long time and realy enjoyed them. With my new acquisition of 3.1 sda's I am in a whole new world of sound.
I have always had good stereo separation. I had been lacking other elements as I was using lesser components at the time as well. But now I have it all.
What stereo sound is like to me: Your best friend just scored tickets to a Dave Matthews acoustic concert. Tickets were selling fast and you could not get very close. You were still excited to go just to be there.
You could hear all the instruments and it sounds wonderful. You have a hard time telling individual instruments apart or left from right, yet the sound is all there.
What SDA does for me is puts you 3 empty rows back from the stage. You hear, feel the bongos way off to the left and the sax off to the right and the drums to the rear.
Not only do you "hear" the sound. You will get what I call "point source" sound. You swear that the bongos are 12' off to the left and when you open your eyes and find that you are looking at the wall 6' away and you still feel like you can see them far away!
The SDA provides me with a very large sound stage with lots of depth. It is a very real sound. Not like a surround process, but like a real stage performance!
Just my thoughts,
Steve
P.S. Thanks M. POLK and all who make this hobby GREAT!
