For the first time in 27 years I now have new main speakers. Introducing my new Polk S60 Signature Series speakers. Here are a few pictures. They are breaking in as I type. I will give a review at a later time.

    Looks Awesome! We are used to a carpeted floor, and some huge drapes, and wonder how much that will impact the sound.

    Very attractive indeed! You were due! My current speakers were made in 1991, jeez come to think of it that's going on 27 years. (But the woofers were rebuilt from scratch. Lol).
