    We don't hoard, we COLLECT.

    I don't think any of us have stepped on/over speakers to get anywhere.


    YET. :)

    I was going to start a Polk Museum years ago but my health pain got bad and I got side-tracked with buying other brands of speakers BIG TIME.

    But I still have enough Polk Audio speakers for a carnival side show! :p:)B)

    Betwixt you, me and one or 2 other members, that could be a real possibility. Personally, I'm only missing literally a handful of models to have a complete early model lineup (4, 4.5, ported 5jr, 12, RTA 15TL). Missing a few more of the SDAs.

    You guys have issues. How did you guys get so deep into speakers?
    I have two pairs and it kinda bothers me.

    I've owned the RTA-15s, but I don't know if it was the TL model. I think it was.

    I've never owned the 12s but like I said a month ago, I had a chance but no spare money to really buy them.

    I own a 4 now or a 4.5. That little pair sounds great to me!

    I've owned the 5jr.. I own the 5 now.

    I had 2 pairs of 7s I believe but sold them like an idiot. :s

    Yes, that's all I have right now. Typically if I buy a new pair I'll sell a pair to keep the clutter at a minimum.

    All in all I've probably had about a dozen pairs of polks.

    Plus following my second DUI money's been extremely tight. The last thing I need to do is buy more speakers.

    @krazypolk I understand. You actually may have control over the ‘addiction’. I unfortunately don’t. Have 4 pairs of Klipsch, pair of Marantz, Zu omen DW’s, 3 pairs of Polks and on the hunt for more SDA’s and possibly a new wife if she finds out I’m still searching !! Don’t want to part with any of them.

    Don't worry, she won't get far in those heels. At least not if she's walking.

    Hahaha. As a matter of fact I use that avatar because it reminds me of a pair of heels she keeps in the closet but says she’s not young enough to wear anymore. Calls them her ‘ol hooker’ heels. They certainly got my attention. ;);)

    Does sound plenty inexpensive. But if your off grid what’s your power source? Solar, wind? Kinda been there and done that up here in Alaska. Too old now to play that game. Like a few more more creature comforts myself.
