Best Of

So, I was perusing ebay a few days ago and honed in on a pair of gorgeous CRS’s…..upon further inspection, I’m like “I KNOW these speakers” ….and sure enough, they are one of Raife’s CRS+’s

Y’all.

Now, I followed DK’s threads and, I gotta tell you, these things are WAY sexier in person.

I’m excited to get them set up….I need to procure some cables….all I seem to have are biwire cables (if anyone has a pair of 10’ or so single wire cables….I have a pair of 10’ MIT Terminator 2’s biwires)…..

But, I’m also on the hunt for a decent pair of stands. I have a set of nice Wharfdale Linton stands that are 18” and the are just too short….

Anyway….just thought I’d share my excitement!!

Hi,
A question...
Does Polk Audio, know you Guys are running your own "Dog and Pony Show" over here, and...
Running people off, and giving Polk Audio, a bad name???
Just wondering how this works?

I will be happy to answer this one... most of the "dog and pony" stuff to which you so eloquently make reference to, is simply good-natured joking around wrapped within a tinge of sarcasm. No insult or harm is inferred or intended. Most of the advice given here is solid or better and based on decades of individual and hundreds of years combined experience. Jesse (F1nut) has more than a thousand years of experience just by himself, though most of us believe him to be far older than that.

My point is to simply let the sarcasm roll off your back and roll with the flow. Be slow to take offense, quick to learn, and if you choose to forge your own path, that is ok too. The advice offered was hard earned over decades, but it is up to you to decide its worth and what to do with it.

He could also lay off the crack pipe, but that would be no fun.

Ahh and here's the welcome wagon.

Anybody who is enthusiastic about Polk audio and audio equipment is ok in my book.

Yep, when you're saving a dollar per XO on caps and you're building 100,000 speakers, you're no longer saving just a dollar.

You have to understand that component technology wasn't as advanced back then. Also, any of the higher quality components that were available were not available in the quantity required for large scale production. Lastly, the bean counters always win.

So, while the bone stock speakers sounded good, properly modded ones sound great.
