Re: THE joke thread
It is also perfectly acceptable to let them know their special day would not be possible without us, so perhaps they should be taking us out for dinner in exchange for that breakfast in bed.

When asking for help it is critical to provide clear precise information about what you have and what your problem is. Spelling, punctuation and proper sentence structure are also critical for successful communication.

Re: Legend and Reserve use exact same woofers?
I definitely agree that the performance margin is much better now between top tier and second tier Polks. Maybe a little too close. 
I'd still like to see Polk develop and sell a heritage based large Monitor 7 type of speaker if they are going to drop the Legend lineup. I was thinking for years that I'd buy a new SDA model as soon as it came out and I did that. Strange that a new line hasn't been announced publicly yet when it's been obvious for a while that the Legends are no longer being stocked.

Re: Legend and Reserve use exact same woofers?
Originally, there was talk of a new CRS+ type speaker along with a floor stander, which they wanted to be about the size of the 1C. I even lent Polk a pair of modified CRS+, the 4.1TL. I never got an explanation as to why they didn't come out with it.

Re: Legend and Reserve use exact same woofers?
I think Polk missed the boat not offering a sda monitor along side the L800. Huge marketing fail, imo.

Other way around. A stand alone DAC can hang around forever. But I fear the streamers might have a term limit if the apps stop getting software updates.
To elaborate, I remember growing up a lot of people’s dads and grandpa’s could have vintage system that didn’t change for decades, driven by vinyl and CD players.
But I’d imagine a steamer gets fully bricked in that situation. Maybe not, but I just don’t know that those pieces will have 20 year lifespans purely due to software no longer being supported. Just like cellphones.

Re: Mid life crisis,Yea or Nay???
Congrats on the nice find, but absolutely get new tires on there asap. It’s simply not safe whatsoever to try to drive around on tires that old.
You owe it to yourself and the car to get fresh rubber on there. But bottom line is it’s a safety issue.
I suggest a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 5.

Re: Class D amps looking much improved
I recently picked up a Fosi v3 for my office rig. That tiny little thing replaced a Mcintosh 4100 pre section going into a Proton d1200 into IMF supercompacts. I'm very impressed with the sound and the fact that it runs a 4ohm load all day and barely even gets warm. So much so that both the Mcintosh and the Proton will be headed for fb marketplace. At around $100 for a 90wpc amp that specs out well it's a no brainer for me to move up to modern class d rather than stay with tired old problematic vintage gear.
