One problem with that is that tone controls affect the phases between the channels, especially at their crossover points, and that will change the locations of the sounds.Put a stereo preamp before the SM.

Very nice!Looks like the one(s)!
Unless the tone controls are independently set for each channel (or badly designed), they should have identical phase effects on both channels. This should not affect either SQ or QS.One problem with that is that tone controls affect the phases between the channels, especially at their crossover points, and that will change the locations of the sounds.
My Apt has a toggle to defeat the tone controls as well as a continuously variable stereo mode control that swings from pure L+R to pure L-R as well as a center detent for regualr stereo.One problem with that is that tone controls affect the phases between the channels, especially at their crossover points, and that will change the locations of the sounds.
That would be true if both channels had the same program material. But then it would be mono. An instrument with overtones (and they all have them) placed off-center (not mono) could end up with interesting but unintended placement. And EQ before decoding won’t compensate for the different acoustic environment of each speaker.Unless the tone controls are independently set for each channel (or badly designed), they should have identical phase effects on both channels.

My tone controls have almost always been before the matrix decoder.
