    Hey, 2009 called.

    They want their outrage and incredulousness back.

    I figured most of you knew duh? I was more hoping to get your thoughts on that and if since 2009 you have seen a change for better or worse because of it.

    Maybe that explains why they are now making the item that they do because they are controlled by a larger company

    All they've done since the acquisition is design and build the best loudspeaker ever made by Polk IMO.

    Nothing has changed, but for the better. New influx of cash means better R&D, which means better speakers. The end.

    BTW- did you know china owns about one third of the U.S.A. ? :cheesygrin: Just being a smart arse.

    Well I like the newer speakers I just bought a CSIA6 in fact but I was under the impression that they were more into quantity than quality these days, but still keeping a few models around. And yes China is slowly taking over, so sad, but they are starting to have some problems now too.
