    I’m in and will send info.

    I have one question Jesse.

    If two participants are really close and willing to DRIVE to meet (and save a chance of shipping damage), can that be done?

    IE if someone in a Chicago or Louisville is willing to meet someone from Indy at a mutually beneficial location..... is that allowed?

    I hope you stick around since this is a great place and the more the merrier, but I really doubt Jesse is going to send a $1700 pair of speakers to someone who joined on Sept. 5...

    skip the noise (no offense @dskip!) vis-a-vis ham-fisted spambots* and concentrate on the signal -- the L200! :)

    (yeah, I know, I am being a hypocrite -- it's one of my better things)

    I'm still trying to figure out if there's a chance for me to demo them, somehow I've been skipped. I'm hoping that doesn't compromise my chances to demo them.

    I've sent a few messages, haven't gone anywhere, I guess I'll send a few more. :)

    Well...no, but I drink and sometimes say dumb things. Or is it i sometimes drink and say dumb things. Either way, I've been known to say dumb things. Like now for example.

    Care to fill me in? If you want to ignore me that's fine, but please explain how your personal preferences precludes me from participating in the demo? Per the requirements you outlined in your first post and every other demo program I've seen I meet both requirements.
    The program is for active members with at least 100 posts.

    So please, explain why I am off the demo list?

    Just tried again. It doesn't allow you to if you're on their ignore list. I also contacted other members on the demo list before posting here. So far the only response I've gotten is what you see above.

    Your "PM" from earlier went to the activity wall and not to Jesse's inbox. I don't think he gets a notification when someone posts on the activity wall.

    Thanks for catching that, I've missed stuff on my activity wall before, though I did it intentionally after finding I was unable to send a PM. :/

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS DEMO
    I have had the L200's for several days now and I have been listening to them with the following setup I put together for this demo

    Rotel RX1052 Stereo Receiver
    Sony DVPS9000es DVD / SACD / CD Player
    Panamax PM5100ex Surge protector
    Audioquest Rocket 33 speaker cables
    Audioquest Mackenzie RCA analog cables
    Velodyne DD 10 Plus just 1 ( but also ran by themselves.)

    BUILD QUALITY
    Beautiful build quality with high quality driver and Tweeter. Cabinet looks excellent with it's gloss black front and High satin like wood finish.
    The binding posts are top notch and I love the wired jumpers instead of the brass/coper/gold plated jumpers you usually find on speakers. Excellent touch and give it a higher end feel.
    I don't however like the Power port on the back. I think it takes away from the beauty of the speaker design. I don't know why Polk still uses this technology especially in a bookshelf speaker. Yes I know all the theory behind power port polk has been using this technology for decades. It's also just standard looking plastic. I don't what other material they could have used to improve on it maybe Carbon Fiber? But I think this speaker would have been more elegant if it was sealed or used a new port technology.
    Most people who run bookshelf speakers for theater or 2 channel usually have a dedicated subwoofer to match them. Restricting the bookshelf to higher replay frequencies I think would make them even better like cutting them off at 60-80hz sealed.

    SOUND
    Man these things just take me back to a time when I had polk's in my main system. I have owned so many different polk speakers over the decades of being in this hobby and these are like the best polished versions to date. I would love to have a pair of LSIM703's which where here many years ago to vs them against them as memory serves me they sound a lot like they did but more refined more polished more detailed. Without having the 703's here and so m any years have gone by since I heard them I can only go on emotional connection I had with them.
    The high end is crystal clear and detailed without making you want to leave the room after a few minutes of listening. I could sit in front of them and play my favorite music without getting bored or tired.
    The Mid range is nice , slightly loose which I think is due to the port design but very pleasing to listen to. Warm inviting tones.
    The Low end I feel seems forced and un natural again I have to say the port port even though polk claims to have an updated design, still to me seems like same old same old. It's loose and not detailed or tracks notes very well. Nothing like when you pair a subwoofer into the mix sealed design( Velodyne DD 10 plus). Those who ever compared a sealed subwoofer or speaker to a ported sub or speakers knows that there is a tightness difference one can hear on certain bass heavy music. It's harder to hear when things are calm or light recorded bass material but when things get slammed the ports show there poor design to me.

    PRICE
    For the money I think they would compete well against others in the price range. They have their own polk sound that is there in everything polk has ever made that was of higher quality. I can't speak for the sound bars and their entry level stuff as I have not spend any time with them but their RT SDA and LSI series I have a lot of experience with and that signature polk sound is there on every model.
