    Sent him a question...

    "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....*breath*...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
    So by your logic then, I should be able to replace the doors of my car with duct tape and increase it's value by 150-200%?
    Get a clue my friend. You do realize that the mid-range drivers are available from Polk still right? And they are $48 each if you are a member of their forum, right? And so with that in mind, you replaced them with a *full range* driver that has specs not even remotely close to the enclosure you put them in...and connected them to a crossover engineered for the specs of a completely different speaker. And don't even get me started on the ghetto graffiti you put on those poor tweeters...
    That being said, good luck with the sale...you're gonna need it."

    Oh wait...he autographed them. Anyone know how I can retract a question? The autograph alone makes it all worth it.

    Is he Matthew Polk? That price may be okay if he is.

    Nope. He's Butcher Block HiFi. Matt ain't got nothin' on him. His 3 weeks of working at Best Buy in high school completely overrules Monsignor Polk's educational pedigree.

    The only thing in that ad that makes sense to me is the "Butcher Block" logo on the back! Because he damn sure butchered them! So he refoamed them with rubber? They are a sealed infinite baffle design? Dang lol....

    Onkyo Integra M504, Bottlehead Foreplay III, Denon SACD, Thiel CS2.3, NHT VT-2, VT-3 and Evolution T6, Infinity RSIIIa, SDA1C and a few dozen other speakers around the house I change in and out.

    yep that is what got me I've seen butyl rubber surrounds offered but none have been for Polk's. That is what i thought was interesting.
