    You know what I want to hear? How many Canadians can understand my, given by the grace of God, central Carolina accent.
    My voice has been compared to Trace Adkins, who is from Texas BTW. But the annunciations are different.

    Enlighten me on the various Canadian dialects of the Queens English......Eh?

    I am always horny and hungry. So, if we are not going to have sex feed me a sammich.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    ^^^ Succinct and to the point. :)

    I'm fascinated with Yiddish. My mom, in her younger days, had a lot of customers who spoke Yiddish and it wasn't unusual, growing up, to hear some Yiddish being spoken. Usually if "someone" did something wrong (as if !).
    You don't have to be fluent in Yiddish to understand whether you're being complimented or chastised.

    Good afternoon Forum Members, sorry it took so long to reach back out to you. My name is Ken and I work in Customer Service at Polk Audio. I would like to reach out and be an olive branch between the Forum and the employees here at Sound United. We do appreciate and thank you for your continued support of Polk Audio in all our endeavors.

    The head of Marketing is still well aware of the forum and the daily discussions here. We spoke and there was no purposeful slight to the forum, however, the goal of this particular email was to inform the novice of how to set up speakers.

    As for the suggested sites for consumers to reference, we wanted to offer up a mix of credible third party resources. While the forum is credible, it is (like the Polkies that inhabit it) fairly advanced in product knowledge and enthusiasm. For someone that might be entering the brand for the first time or updating from a sound bar to component speakers, it could be a very intimidating experience. With that being said, we love the enthusiasm for the brand on the forum and would like to harness this in a positive way. And would like to prepare future email tips from the actual forum to get general customers excited about engaging in it.

    Please send suggestions or the tips you’d like to suggest, both general and Polk related and we’ll feature you (screen name) in the email. We’re all enthusiasts about the Polk brand and the speakers we make, our collective goal is to grow our fans and most importantly audio enthusiasts!

    You can send the suggestions to myself at ken.carter@soundunited.com. If anyone has questions feel free to send them my way too.

    We are looking forward to the feedback and response's from everyone.

    Thank you!

    -Ken

    Ok gang, since Ken was kind enough to address us and ask for suggestions then why has there only been one sent to him!?! I know there are some very smart, clever folks here, so please take a few minutes and help Ken, help us by submitting your thoughts/suggestions.

    Thank you,
    Jesse
