    It appears to be Polkaudio that posted it. Why they would they post a fake photo?

    I'm not 100% on what details Polk will release on Friday, but I've got lots of juicy details, which I can reveal after the official announcement.

    I see they corrected the SDA title from CRS to SRS. I had emailed them pointing out the error, and other more minor, and suggested they get a refund from their advertising department.
