    Ahh I was holding out for the big SDA karma anyway.
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Another reason to admire and support the manufacturer. Thanks Ken and Polk Audio for the support of those of us who enjoy the vintage side of the company's lineup.

    Speakers arrived! Will unpack and test them later. I have a spare set of RDO tweeters and I may even upgrade the crossovers. B)

    Shutup Russ, upgrading the tweeters with Polk replacements is not defiling the speakers....you can have an original 67 vette, but it will need new belts and stuff

    I'd like to say I'm shocked, but after some recent posts, I'm not. What a shame.

    It's getting to the point where a fragile item can't be shipped any longer. My wife buys and sells sewing machines. The damage rate from shipping was unacceptable, so she deals local only. Kinda eliminates a large market share. Fed Ex and UPS are ungodly. Ever make a claim for shipping damages? It can be a painfully slow process with many disqualifying factors.Believe it or not: USPS was the best.
