Last couple of F&F sales that members highlighted on this forum I was getting worried Polk didn't love me anymore (I didn't receive an email) today at 9:10am cst I am no longer feeling left out. All LSiM's 707 thru 702L/X are 50% off while supplies last or 11/12. I am pretty sure I don't need 707's, do I?

    For some reason I didn't get the email this time, but went to the 703 product page and it lists the sale price at $375 a pair. Is that correct, I thought they were normally $1500 for a pair and the f&f sale would put them @ $750 pr?

    If they are really $375 for a pair I'll order a pair in Mount Vernon Cherry today. I've been wanting to get my ears on them...

    That's what I thought, but it clearly states the price is per pair on the website. It even let me add a pair to my cart at $374.98, though they are on backorder. Must be an error on the website.

    Hmm, if I place an order for a pair before the error is corrected will Polk honor the price?

    It is obviously a glitch the title says 50% off and they are sold by singles normally. Polk would be in the right to cancel the order.

    What's weird about the email is it is called a Friends and Family sale, but there is no code associated with the sale as there normally was. The LSiM speakers are also on sale elsewhere at online authorized dealers, including Amazon, for a 50 percent discount. Stock seems to be very limited.

    FWIW, I found the Polk email in my spam folder.

    I discovered the sale on this forum before I found the Polk email.

    Although the same discount as F&F sales in the past (with special codes), I don't think this is really a 'friends & family' sale since the sale is open to all on the website - no codes needed!

    Have you signed up for them on the Polk website?

    Hmmm. I just went looking for the link for you to register for them. It seems to have disappeared with the rollout of the new web site. Maybe it'll reappear presently?

    No, I just assumed being a cp member since 2004, I would have received some type of spam or email from polk just like any other re/etail shop.

    Nbd though.

    The website is advertising that the F&F sale ends 11/12 - today.

    But the website and shopping cart is listing the standard pricing.

    Does F&F pricing only show up after you place an order?

    When I ordered the other day, the discounted price appeared in the cart.

    It didn't when I tested it earlier today or yesterday.

    I got another email today stating that the sale is good through midnight Pacific time. So the sale should be good as I type this, even if it doesn't appear on the website. Can you order by phone 24 hours?
