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.

    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).

    Congrats Cathy, then look fantastic! Let us know how they sound after a good break in period.
