    I'm 37, and yes I love speakers that are over half my age! With all the upgrades done to them, they have certainly aged more gracefully than me!:D

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I'm 50 and waiting for my sda-crs's from ebay. And no amount of begging would get the seller to do anything to keep the magnets from shifting.So I'm sure I'll be looking for some replacement drivers in a couple of days. :( Damn you seattlegoodwill. Oh well.

    33 now, but the family got a pair of Polk SDA's when I was ~ 9, and I have been in love with them ever since. Just watching those drivers crisply pound out every note to track after track was one of my fondest childhood memories. Now I have a ton of classic polk monitors, rta, and sda, and I still love the richness of the sound.

    45 in three months,

    SDA 1C studio (in rebuild mode now), Monitor 12, Monitor 10, Monitor 5, Hope to get a set(s) of SRSs' and CRS+ one day.:cool:

    I heard a set of Monitor 12Cs' in the mid 80's at 17yrs old, loved it, wow! So I go off to the city to go to school. While in the city I go by the HiFi shop and get a Polk brochure to drool over. Since I am in school, no money, so the dreams of nice HiFi and the brochure get packed away. Just over a year and a half ago I find the brochure while cleaning out all the crap that I have accumulated and BAM!, the Polk bug bites be again. I find this forum, and CL, have never looked back! :D

    Love the forum gang! I hope I can contribute something worthwhile in the future.

    Ramble, ramble, digress, ramble bla bla bla, hem haw BS

    I will be 45 on the 16th. Polk has always been my favorite speakers but it wasn't until a couple of years ago that I heard my first set of SDA's. That would be my SDA 1C's, after that I started collecting them and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have met a lot of good people along the way on the forum. By far this is the best audio forum out there bar none.
