    I'm late to the party (once again!) . . . Any chance these might be coming near southeast Michigan or Toldeo, OH area?

    Thanks!

    This pair (the East Coast pair) was scheduled to move South from me (VA).


    You might have better luck with the other pair (Mid West pair):

    Are the 707's out of circulation? Are they coming to the Midwest?

    I dont think the 707's went out of Cali and last I heard they were returned to Polks warehouse a couple months back.

    With that said I know someone with a set of LSiM 705's I would love to hear, I just need to make the 5 hour trip to do so on a date that works for both of us :biggrin:

    The speakers in the demo programs are not to go anywhere without Jon_S saying so.

    Dpowell, if you'd be willing to write a review on the Polk site, after demoing them, and then take them to hour West Coast HQ in Vista, we'd love for you to try them out. Our goal is to bring these 707s and 703s back home, and send a fresh pair out for demoing.

    Thanks!

    Thanks David, I'm trying to locate a list of who was up next on the 703 and 707 demos, and I'll be sure to add you to it. Thanks for bearing with me, I'm still getting the swing of things at the Polk mothership.

    Jon, I was hoping to get them next from Falcon, and then pass them down to the Charlotte NC area, from there I think Scottyboy wanted a crack at them. Just an FYI, thanks for your help.

    Cody- if they make it to you, we could probably coordinate between Conradicles, myself, and Scotty getting a few reviews going. I'd be willing to drive them to Scotty if you could get them to me or just have a mini polk fest at my place. Maybe TennMan or OldmanSRS or others from the Knoxville area would be interested as well.

    I'm definately interested in hearing any of the new series. If Cody gets them, then I'll try to talk to JonS via email or PM and work out details. Thanks

    Just let me know travis, we can meet you halfway, or you could come here and make it a day, then at some later point, pass them to atlanta, or s.c. around the Lake hartwell area, I have an aunt battling lung cancer there, and we want to make a trip anyway.

    So, if any of that works.

    We may have an update on the new demo's next week guys, hold tight. I'll let you know as soon as I hear something. Can we get a list of who wants them? I think tnhandy, conrad and scotty are the members that I know of. Speak up if your in the eastern TN, western NC, or north GA area now! If I get them, I'll pass them to Travis, and I think he should be able to meet up with con in the Asheville area.

    Good news! Looks like we're getting the ball rolling. PLEASE post your name here to get on this leg of the demo. I'll compile a list and we'll all work to getting it in some kind of order. RIGHT NOW for the western NC, eastern TN and north GA round we have...

    Me, TNHANDY, Conradicles, and scottyboy. This list isn't set in stone, so if your in one of these areas POST HERE and we can get you on board. I'm going to submit this small list this afternoon after work to give you guys some time to decide if you want in.

    Even if you don't decide this afternoon, that should be fine, we can work you into the demo!

    Alright, the list of us four has been submitted. Feel free to post here or PM me and I can get you on the list. Perhaps someone wants to host a G2G for a mass demo? I'd do it here, but I'm sure we can find somewhere else that's better suited. I'd be more than happy to bring my 9's for a head to head.

    Someone else is going to have to step up and try and get a list of people for a run of these in another part of the country! I have a feeling with the lack of interest in our area, they'll be leaving GA after scotty is done with them and being shipped somewhere else. Anyone?

    I believe they have already been in the NY area... Check page 11 of this thread.

    People need to start thinking about moving the 703's out of the SE, unless some more GA or FL Polkies want to get their ears on them? Anyone? Have the 703's been through TX, or would there be any interest in moving through them through TX?

    Unboxed and ready to play! I'll most likely run them this afternoon and tonight with MOG streaming, and all day tomorrow to get some hours through them. Tomorrow night I'll spin some discs through them...

    Thanks again Polk, and Jon!

    :sad: man, I guess I wasn't quick enough. I went to the "Where to buy section" but I only see LSI on the pull-down menu, not LSIM.
