I wonder how many have already sold? I would like to have them, but I still have a new set of 703's I have yet to put to use..
I also think they should have used the classic logo on these with the heart IMO, it is still the best logo Polk has had.. -
Agree on the logo, especially considering they used it on the back- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Man the masses online are not happy with Polks AE choices.
-
I am not sure what people want Polk to do?
Make a special edition of the L800? Make a hail mary limited released Monitor 10 from the 1970s?
Based on the performance of the R200 that I heard at 2021 Polkfest... coupled with real wood veneer, an engraved plate on the back, gold posts and upgraded crossovers and at a price point that is overall accessible to the average person... I think it ticks off all of the boxes that has made Polk who they are over the last 50 years.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
You have to hit translate but some interesting info on the cross over here.

If they used all air core inductors I will be very impressed... eager to pop the hood so to speak when they arrive!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

If this report is accurate then why wouldnt Polk announce this sort of info at release? Its not aimed at the mass market. Only true Polkies would be interested in a AE model and they would want to know whats inside.

Im feeling a bit less of a sucker now.

Good question, we may never know. If they seriously went all air cores, etc - they should have included a photo of the network- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

@VR3 what's your thoughts on the Crossover picture?
-
The surface is an intermediate polyurethane coating with a piano finish
Told ya it wasn't an oil finish.Political Correctness'.........defined

Still the pick of the bunch though.

@CarlJacobson_POLK why is that picture not on the website??- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

agreed... Imagine what the L800 crossover could be with those parts.
The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

@CarlJacobson_POLK why is that picture not on the website??
I asked the same thing on the Polk FB page. Like WTF was the marketing department thinking??? -
Maybe it was a test by Polk to see who had faith???
I passed.

To clarify, that's the AE crossover on the right and the original R200 crossover on the left. Only half indicated in this photo, but noted in caption on the link @Braddles63 posted.
Really curious to hear what you think after you get them, Trey.
I thought the original R200 seemed a little cool sounding compared to the L200. Makes me wonder how this AE build sounds and compares.I disabled signatures. -
They invested a good sum of cash in those crossovers. Air core inductors are not that cheap especially that size. I'm very surprised and impressed.
Very excited!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
And plenty of room for future upgrades if you want.
-
Super awesome!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.
-
Frankly I'm surprised they could bring those in at the price they're charging on a limited production run.

Well at least they are the cheapest parts to replace. -
I was being facetious and yes you're correct.
-
Seeing the new crossover, I rescind this comment/joke. Mostly.And then no matter what, you'll...
I disabled signatures. -
@VR3 how long till yours arrive? Mine are 2 - 3 weeks away
-
Next week!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.
