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.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass

They do look good, congrats! I am also looking forward to your impressions of these, especially as how well you think they are compared to your 8t's...

Congrats Cathy! Initial impressions? I spent about an hour with some and found them to be a decent balance between HT and music.

“Why did you get married if you wanted big speakers?” -
Thank you folks!
First off, a HUGE Thank You to Skip for hooking me up with these terrific speakers! I was really stressing about how I was going to get my hands on them and he contacted me via PM and made this a very easy transaction...Skip you are the BEST!
Between Russman's recommendation and Skip's very thorough evaluation and pictures I made the leap, sound unheard before purchase, and they were not wrong.
Classic Polk sound and lots of it. I fell in love with the looks, but I was very worried about sound but I now know that this will be my last set of main speakers.
One thing that has always turned me off for the last several years has been the segregation of music speakers vs HT speakers. I need speakers that can handle both with ease and just from the way they handle music I know they will be able to handle movies just as well.
I have been listening in 2 channel all day, just from what I have heard so far Polk has definitely hit a home run. Good bass, (more than my beloved RTA-8Ts) and a crisp, but not sharp tweeter. Can easily listen all day long without a problem just massive enjoyment.
I believe I'm going to keep my Boston VR920 center channel, size does matter when it comes to CC, and I'm not willing to give up the full 3 way sound that it gives me.
Well by far this has been one of my best Birthdays that I have ever had. Mark surprised me and came in Friday night and we spent a terrific weekend together. Now 27 years to the day, I have another set of Polk speakers to celebrate with!
Thank you to my brother Mark for the visit, Skip for hooking me up with my speakers, and Polk Audio!
May this new series be your best seller yet!!!

Bu,,er you are not close to SoCal, I could build you a nice cabinet for that awesome gear you have...and no I am not trying to make a buck here. I would do it for cost for most people because i like to build things...When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.
