Hi I'm new here but not new to Polk speakers. Currently I don't own any Polks but in the past I had a pair of 10Bs and RT5s. Foolishly traded off/sold both. I have some very nice B&W 801s, 803s, 805s and 805 Nautilus but I'm looking to get the same POLK models I had before for a vinyl listening room. Looking forward to browsing here....might even jump in with a comment.:smile:

    Welcome to Club Polk!
    Letting people know your general location can aid you in your search.
    Ben
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    I'm in Lubbock Tx. I'm an old guy like my username says....I got my first "hi-fi system in 1972. Kenwood receiver, Dual 1229 turntable and AR2ax speakers. Over the years I've had ADS 710s, Polks and now B&W. The B&Ws are very nice and I was fortunate to find them all used in mint condition. The Adcom amp. is fairly strong but the 801s can suck it dry easily. I'm not very good at posting pictures but I'll try:smile:
    Thanks for the welcome!
