Hey Polk fans! My name is Kyle and I'm the new digital marketing intern here at Polk. We just recently put together a timeline of all of the Polk speakers dating back to the 70's and put it in our main lobby. Check it out and tell us what you think!

    Welcome to the club. These are wonderful. Any chance of selling them as a book or other presentation method for enthusiasts?

    Welcome to Club Polk, Kyle!! Thanks for posting this.

    Excellent! I really like it!

    How come they're not in chronological order though? Hmmm....

    How come it's not Klopfer Audio? Gross Audio? ;^p Must have been Matt's garage, or his $200!(?)

    This is very cool... I had no idea Polk grew so fast while still a private company. Matt, Sandy, and George must have been busy in the early days. And this is back when entrepreneurship was a physical thing. Nothing against Angry Birds, but speaking as a guy who spends most of his time twiddling bits, there just seems to be something more noble in putting together a business where the end product of all the engineering is something that performs a task beautifully in the physical world. Polk Audio FTW!!!!
