I'm going to post this here, rather than sending it to Ken in order to get opinions.
How about having a "closed sticky" at the top of the forum and the same info go out as an email to Polk's mailing list. Forum title could be something like "Intro to a well sounding, trouble free Polk system". This was discussed a few years ago about having a sticky for beginners.
We get a lot of threads concerning people with blown tweeters. Explain about "clipping", and how proper amplification is needed for speakers to sound their best. I had never heard the term "Clipping", until joining here. Explain how when you start to hear a harsh sound that hurts your ears, that it is not due to a powerful amp, but an under-powered amp creating amp strain which creates the harsh sound.
Break the entire line of Polk speakers into three categories. Group A are easily powered speakers that can be ran on any AVR/amp. Group B are a little more power hungry and require a more powerful, higher end AVR/amp. Group C should really be powered with external amplification to get the full benefit from the speakers. Forum members can advise you of good choices for your needs, room size, equipment, etc. If you have already purchased your speakers but need help buying electronics that mesh well, a forum member will be happy to help. If you already have the electronics, but are looking for the right line of Polk speakers, a forum member can help. Have the thread/email touch on how different amps have different sounds; e.g., bright speaker + bright amp = bad. Explain that speakers are only part of the equation and that years of experience by forum members are at your service for help build a great sounding system at your price point. -

are there no stickies on these fora? If not -- there indeed should be.

Are you crazy? That'd be like hitting gremlins with a jet from a garden hose while Marvin Gaye plays in the background.ken brydson wrote: »
