Just thought you might want to know some of the selections the Polk Audio HQ gurus use to voice drivers and the loudspeakers that you listen to currently....its a cut and paste from iTunes so the meta info is missing.

For those that don't use inferior wood putty to fix loudspeaker holes, have <34 years of speaker building recognition or think that tubes always sound like crap in regards to bass response, please disregard :smile:
CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I had also posted a slightly different track listing in the Shawn Colvin thread a few days ago. It was from an older listening compilation that the guys used. Cheers. :cool:

    I was listening to Dada last night. Sounds awesome.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
