Rare few moments I post sober, before 5 pm.. and F1 responds before midnight as well. What is a white walker doing posting at this time, F1? Maybe the stars lined up.
Anyhow. I hear Motörhead is really good looking. That beast of beauty him. I am honored. -

So true. even K_M would swoon over me.

If you want to continually live in the past, do so, but stop blaming Polk for keeping up with the ever changing market who are NOT interested in big, fugly, overly expensive speakers, that they have no room to put them.
A small sampling of recently reintroduced to the marketplace.....big speakers from the past.

but the post by @vcwatkins got me to thinkin' about the Legend moniker.
There's this other loudspeaker manufacturer who refers (or, at least, referred) to their brand as A Legend in Sound.
They even have had a Legend Series of loudspeakers.
Is there any trademark infringement issue kind of thing goin' on, here?
Just... you know... musing.
I muse, therefore I am.
I don't see a problem Mark. Legend is a common word as is Monster, as is Reference. Now if they had duplicated "Legend in Sound", then there would be a problem.

True and he like Circuit City, Blockbuster, Kodak and a multitude of others who didn't keep being innovative will go bye bye. Most of his gear is now regulated to Home Depot, Menards and other building material stores at rock bottom prices. Like many other companies who are living day to day on their past in name only, soon that very same name will be bought like Acoustic Research and just put on generic products that no one even cares about and sold at the point of sale counter at the local gas stations and quickie marts.

Ask anybody born in the 90's to today about the name Monster. I'll bet a good amount of money 97% will come back with Monster energy drink. That is what the name Monster evokes today.
Yes we can agree he slit his own throat with his huge narcissistic ego couldn't happen to a better person. -

If Polk were to reintroduce SDA’s the quality would have to outdo anything they have ever built to make a big splash, especially with it’s SDA fan base, also I think having Mathew involved to some degree would be huge and exciting for everyone involved.. I personally think it’s fair to say none of this will ever happen, us as a community have taken SDA’s further up the ladder than Polk would ever be willing to invest in...
Just my .02... -
Did you guys know that Monster lost their arse on beats audio headphones? That they were originally sold as Beats by Monster but his son signed a contract without reading it and they lost their patent, research, production and rights to the name super fast....
Fun story of one **** **** over another SMARTER ****.
Google it."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963) -
I remember seeing him on some car modding show where he had one custom built for some event. It was hard to watch. The car was really cool in the end though.
I believe it was West Coast Customs and he had it built with a special place for his golden segway....

I'm not sure impressed is correct. Let's say I didn't find anything objectionable in my short demos. I'll also say there is more to come.
As for the colors, as you can see there are 2 and IMO they look better than the LSiM colors.
If more to come means even nicer towers I'm anxious to see that and I like what I'm seeing in the ones shown. About time!!"if it's not fun, it's not worth it & remember folks, "It's All About The Music"!!
