Help on Polk Audio SDA2
I had a pair of those. Yes, you can drive them without the interconnect. It will narrow the soundstage some. The cable is to cancel crosstalk distortion and there by increase the stereo effect. As I remember the effect was very small. They are 6 o... 
Sub woofer - Martin Logan Depth or Monitor FB 212
I was faced with the same choice. I took both units home and keep them for about a week. I thought the Monitor sounded good, but it was little too slow to go with my SL-3's. It drew too much attention to it's self. When I got the Depth home, I new... 
Musical Sub Suggestions
Both of the Martin-Logan subs are very musical. 
What are you powering your Martin Logans with????
I'm running SL3's powered by two CJ MF2500's and a Depth sub. I was using ARC D-130's, they were a little on the dry side for my taste. I don't think ARC's ss amp are in the same league with their tube amps. I found the ss CJ's to have a much warm...

Sub For Martin Logan Aeon's
I use a ML Depth with my SL3. It replace a 12 inch Velodyne F-series. I found the Velodyne to be boomy and drew way to much attention to itself. The depth will as low as the Velodyne and play louder, but it's seamless, tight, and very fast. My dea...

Best subwoofer for 1000 to 2000 dollars
Try the Martin-Logan Depth. It uses three 8 inch "balanced force" drivers and a 300 watt amp. The frequency response is down to 20 hz and it is very fast and tight. I replace a 12 inch Velodyne with one and the difference is jaw dropping.
