Message-ID: <57@uw-june> Date: Wed, 13-Feb-85 12:50:20 EST Article-I.D.: uw-june.57 Posted: Wed Feb 13 12:50:20 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 14-Feb-85 02:43:41 EST References: <932@watdcsu.UUCP> Organization: U of Washington Computer Science Lines: 18 If you have $1500-$2000 to spend on speakers, you really should audition the Polk Audio SDA-1. These are the speakers which do the same job as Carver's sonic holography, but they do it acoustically, not electronically. The effect holds up better as you move around the room than with Carver's equipment. (I know many of you audiophiles look upon this kind of processing with disdain, but how many of you have actually heard these speakers?) Without the crosstalk cancellation cable, these speakers are very good - extremely natural sound, very extended bass response, and room-shaking dynamic range. But with all the cables hooked up, well, they are simply awesome. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh no! I've got . . . . . HAPPY FEET!"
