    Yeah, the Monitor 10 was a well endowed loudspeaker, wasn't it?
    Sorta makes one wonder whether the cones on those midbass radiators were real paper or silicone, doesn't it?

    Setting the speaker at a 45 degree angle to the camera, and looking up to it from the bottom will give you the same angles as seen in the photo. It's called forced perspective.

    Except the driver layout in the previously lightened pic shows that it's a head on shot. There is no forced perspective. You're looking at what I saw in November of '18.

    All I can say as with all the hype I hope these are worthy.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    Does Polk really mean 3:30pm EST? Daylight Savings Time doesn't end until early on the morning of 3 November.

    Is this some sort of trick or trap?

    3:30pm EST is 4:30pm EDT.

    hmmmm....
