    Didn't know about this until now. The VTL gear (which hasn't been a too many pieces) that I've heard all sounded amazingly good. VTL tubed gear is outstanding. RIP Mr. Manley and thanks for your efforts.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
