How many of the beloved MW 65xx drivers did Polk manufacture in the late 80's and early 90's? Our ears have never been the same.

    Why on earth do you think there's an answer for that or even if there was, it would be posted by Polk? I can nip that in the butt and say, unknown and it will never be released. The educated guess would be hundreds of thousands and they're still being manufactured for vintage speakers some 20 years later. How many companies do that would be a much better question.

    Well, there's gotta be a number. And I only meant the units made in the years stated above.
    This is really just for fun.

    infinite, excluding all values between 1000 and 10,000,000, but that was a mistake :redface: It was SUPPOSED to read:

    1000 < x < 10,000,000

    much better.:biggrin:

    Yes that is true, just not quite like the way that Virginia buildings shook. Lots of area schools are closed for damage inspections today. (MD,VA & Wash. DC)
