    You've been on Club Polk too long if...you remember meeting Miller Lite Scott at Polk HQ and we were somewhat the "newbies" at the time.

    We actually got to meet the Polk reps, designers and sound engineers.

    I remember they had this one system that never hit the market....it was some sort of wired, yet wireless system. One plug for both speakers and a wireless plugged in surround.

    At that point in time, they actually listened to feedback.

    Hang on a minute...that was in the second studio room where they had everything draped off with black curtains and the 5 or 7.1 system that sounded pretty damned good?

    That was in the hallway of the offices in the back. There was also a mini SRT system model back there.

    Yeah that's funny when I went in to Circuit City and bought my 27 inch TV I was looking at a Hitachi TV that had a thousand lines of resolution. The salesman told me it'd be a waste of money to buy it since nobody was ever going to use a thousand lines of resolution on a TV. Now look what we have for TVs his foresight was pretty dead.

    Circuit City had been around since 1949, though the concept of big-box didn’t happen until the 1970’s
