    Ugh, I couldn't watch more than a few minutes of that. From what I did hear, he's clueless.

    All I have to say is... idiotic. Absolutely idiotic. “The only reason audiophiles don’t like Bose is because they try new things” no, it’s because they tried something new that sucked and continued to use it AND their overpriced, AND they don’t sound good. Sorry, went on a little rant there.

    I took one for the team and watched the whole thing. I didn't hear him "dissing" Polk at any point in the video.

    He mentions Polk around the 2:40 mark and puts them in the same category as Klipsch as being a "Well known name, and a name known for good quality sound".

    So nice clickbait title there @afterburnt

    @Clipdat I was just saying he implied that Polk was not particularly innovative in their designs. Polk has evolved all kinds of angles so I was just throwing a "BS" flag, is that "clickbait"? What's clickbate?

    Clickbait is an intriguing web link (and/or graphic) that entices one to click on it -- whilst nearly always failing to deliver any content of substance or of interest.

    Shakespeare* said of clickbait
    A great sound and fury, signifying nothing.

    One time, I showed my niece a penny and how you could see Abraham Lincoln between the columns of the Lincoln Memorial on the back. I then asked her if she knew who he was? She responded: "One night, he was watching TV with his wife and a man shot him from behind." :p

    I took that to imply that she was a Leonardo DiCaprio fan. :p

    He also spelled "seductively", "oval" and "convertible" wrong. To his credit, he did spell the contraction for "must have" as "must've", instead of the incorrect "must of", which makes him smarter than a good number of the members here. :p
