Karma giveaway from Polk Audio

IN, in, in. Very sorry I sold my M7's. I love my M5jr+ series 2, but the M7's were just a bit better. They don't fit my room as well, but the sound was awesome. Those look like a beautiful set. If I win them, I will bequeath my M5's to one of my daughters, or a friend.

Those Mon 7's belong to an aficionado that won't implement another SL5000.

That looks like my old HK AVR. I got my monies worth out of it before it died and thought it did very well with two channel music.

Nice setup!

Thanks. Low budget but it sounds very good to my uneducated ears. Got the HK from a Polkie for a good price, paid $75 for the M5jr+series 2 with the stands. The CS245i was about $50 and the cheap Sony sub was free.

Great Karma! Not in as I have a pair. (everyone should 8^)
Here is a glimpse at Studio Two (RT7's and SDS-400's)

Nice, I want in.

Will have to get a photo later.

Why, I have been a Polk fan since I was a kid. Have bought only Polk speakers since around 1990.. and I have bought a bunch. From 1.2tl's (modded) to the latest LSIM703, 706, 705, and 702's. I could list them all if it helps, rotate them through from time to time and enjoy all of them.

No intentions of going to another brand.

Some one will be happy! I'm happy with my lsi9's and 2.3... more isn't better..

Not in for me, but in for my Dad... He's the one that started me down this awesome rabbit hole 30 years ago. So in that same theme, his setup: purchased new in '87 a pair of Monitor 5b mated to a JVC RX-950V digital receiver, SEA-33 10 band EQ, cassette player and direct drive turntable. I don't have access to pics of his stuff unfortunately.

Not in, but this is a very nice gesture from Polk. Someone should be very happy. Good job.

Damn Larry, your speakers look like dominatrices, especially that right one with the hands on top. Have you been a bad boy?

These are Polk's Judas Priest 1.2Metal Edition, they are a limited set of one... LOL!!!

Give them to Larry or fear the Minions

In please. I have Polk Audio and this forum to thank for getting me into this hobby and for showing me how to get the most out of my gear.

About eight years ago as a new father of two and not a lot of extra money I was searching the local ads and spotted a Pair of Monitor 10b's for only $90. They were in great shape, and after reading some excellent reviews I went ahead and purchased them. Immediately after hooking them up to my then entry level receiver I knew they were special. I lurked around here for several months reading about everyone experiences long before I ever post. Because of those vintage Polk speakers I, like so many others, fell down the rabbit hole and purchased some decent vintage gear to better power the Monitors. Eventually I refreshed the crossovers with some guidance found here and re laminated them with some black ash vinyl.


From there I became interested in Home Theater and purchased my first real 7 channel surround speaker system which consisted of Monitor 70s, 50s, 40s, and the CS2.



Only to upgrade a few years later to the RTI series based home theater which followed us to our new home.



In addition to our Polk home theater our family enjoys frequently I took advantage of one of the 50% off sales last year and scored a new pair of Mahogany LSIM 705's for a two channel system on our main level.



So am I deserving of the Monitor 7's, well no more than the next guy, as there are many here with similar experiences and some whose roots go much deeper. But, I would really enjoy getting my ears on some vintage monitors again, as they were the series that got me started with all of this madness.
