Very glad to have all post here. This was half about showcase and half about bringing us all together in one thread. Thank You for sharing with me and others so I can start to get to know you guys.
Proud to be a member of what seems to be a very warm and friendly forum.
Here's what's going to keep me happy on this rainy Saturday here in Ct.
That’ll do it!
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

Is that a Phase Linear in the corner?

No it's a Mitsubishi M10 metered switch box. I use it to turn on and monitor the sub's input. It stays off 99% of the time as I've found the rig sounds better to me without a sub
Motorstereo. How many watts does each one of those mono block monster Macs pump to the SDA’s? Peace.
They're 1200 wpc per side (MC1201's) Perfect match for the 1.2tl's imo and I've yet to light up the power guard lights or even get them past room temperature. They recently replaced a pair of MC2500's which were 1000wpc bridged and a couple decades older
Luther has one of the nicest set ups I've seen here over the years. He hasn't posted it in awhile so maybe look it up.
Thank you and yes I agree Wardsweb always has a great looking rig. I always enjoy looking at his current set up; neat, clean and always over the top imo.

Welcome
FYI--You mentioned earlier about "warm and friendly"
Yes sir, many of us have met even 1000+mi apart. We let members into our homes. We meet at gatherings and events. We give emotional support for those in need. It's kinda crazy here at times, but most in fun.
If you get a chance don't feel like an outsider to ask if you can join in on a gathering, show or meet up, that's how we've all come together.
We have also pony expressed goods across the country through hand off.
Been lots of fun
I myself want to thank Polk for letting us accomplish these relationships...TY
Is there a stereo here somewhere? All I see is a temple built for George Jones, complete with prayer rug... any relation to Jim I wonder?
Jim Jones is grape Kool-Aid. George Jones is more Colorado Kool-Aid. Well....that, and maybe Jim Beam poured from a decanter that looks like Elvis into a Flintstone jelly-bean jar.

No temple, prayer rug and most thankfully nothing to do with the cult leader-mass murderer. The rug-blanket just happens to be the correct size. It does double duty as a room treatment and cover to hide some 7 gauge Pangea power cables and some equally fat MIT music hose speaker cables. Perhaps someday I'll find something different but until then old cig smoking GJ will be there to keep an eye on things.
I didn't know or forgot ( from a previous post of yours ) , sorry, that they made those that powerful.
I'm going to check out their stats and maybe a review in your link. Thanks for that. NICE!
I just read the reviewer's take on them. Very IMPRESSIVE to say the least!!!
Thanks; they're also a back breaking 147lbs each that my 62 year old butt somehow managed to wrestle into place by myself. I've had them for about 6 months now and they still continue to impress with their synergy with the Polks. Baring an unforseen failure they'll be there as long as I'll be listening to music. They've stopped my thoughts of amp upgraditis just like the 1.2tl's stopped speaker upgraditis for me several years ago

I can vouch for this. I'm in Canada and have met a polkie in Orlando and San Diego. Both times were excellent. I've also had many dealings with others and it has always been a pleasure to deal with them. We help each other out in every way possible. From dating, marriage,divorce, house, cars, shaving, where to buy black paint and how to deal with Russ. We cover it all. Sure sometimes we don't get along but that's how it is in any family.

I surely thought you had help! How in the world did you lift those amps up onto those tables?
How and why in the world do we still lift, wrestle and finagle stereo gear and speakers that can permanently injure us?
Where are all the people I helped out over the years? At least one of my old friends is back, living 5 blocks away now and willing to help when I want and when he can if not busy or out of town.
I just walked two sets of 80Lb. speakers into my cottage in the last few months. I walked them up the stairs in front of it too. My friend helped me put one set on dollies a week ago. I was still week from some serious illness with many weird symptoms so we didn't do much else but listen to speaker sets. The big A/C window unit is fading after about 15+ years of great operation. A Kenmore well built one it is, soon to be was. So I got overheated after a while and we called it a day.
It's sooo nice to have a helping friend close by.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.

Jim Jones is grape Kool-Aid. George Jones is more Colorado Kool-Aid. Well....that, and maybe Jim Beam poured from a decanter that looks like Elvis into a Flintstone jelly-bean jar.
