Released a couple of days ago. For Polkies interested in Polkology there are a few stories and, in particular, Monitor 10 fans should give it a spin. Kind of poignant given the retirement of the last remaining founding father, Stu, and the release of the new Legend series.

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Those look nice! I'm guessing they'll sound sweet. That seems like a very reasonable price.

    Sandy seems extremely down to earth, appears to be very likeable, knows the business, and what audio consumers want. He learns that by regularly talking to the end users.

    From his love for live music, he knows what he (and we) want to hear from a great loudspeaker.

    His comments from 17:10 to 17:25 are so true and should apply to any business.

    @JayCee Thank you for posting!
