Soo who made the black poly caps or are they mylar ?
That is a sweet looking XO!
Just think if they made use of better resistors 😊
They graduated from Yellow Dragons to the Black Dragons.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists. -
Would be cool if one of the Polk engineers popped into the forum and said what the internal and external changes improved on this edition. They were certainly working from a solid base for a speaker already.

Legit crossovers for sure, very unexpected and awesome.
Sand casts could also be easily upgraded to Mox or Path resistors with little effort it appears. -

Tom~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -
Reminds me of the LSiM 703 cherry.

If there is a seam on the back I can't see it.

The R200 50th AE uses a real wood veneer, not a vinyl wrap.

Did they actually make the terminal cups from alloy? They look nice.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

Very Nice ! Yes I'm a bit jealous.... but just a bit

This is from Polk fest last year.
Bracing and such is the same.
The wood veneer is much better looking than vinyl

I won't be able to listen for a few days but I wanted to say
The fit and finish is world class. I'll tell anyone that Polk Audio easily makes one of the best products when it comes to fit and finish. Everything fits great, excellent veneer application, great seams etc. Really top notch finish quality. The crossovers are first rate for the price point.
Well worth price to entry folks!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

@VR3 congrats mate. Makes me impatient for mine to arrive 😅 and to hear you thoughts on SQ once you have some hours on them.

Dammit! Now I want a pair. I figure I could sell my current R200's and that would soften the blow a bit. If this was a main rig decision they'd be here already. But, the office rig for me has to be a bit more restrained cost wise.
Decisions, decisions.
They look fantastic!
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

Do it!!! Seriously a great product
These would go on the office rig and moving the Wilson's and such is no easy endeavor, otherwise would be easier to give a review- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

I'll be keeping an eye on Ebay to see when someone starts to try and sell them at double the original price.
