I just purchased a L400 to compliment my L200's. I measured my rack before ordering and the dimensions seem fine. Now I find that the speaker will only fit with the rear baffles off. Will there be a difference in sound quality with the baffles off?

Well yes and no. They are there two reasons to keep
1. To keep you from mashing the binding post and stressing the cable.
2. To keep the correct distance from the wall to allow the power port to function correctly. Stuffing it too close to the wall could dramatically affect the function of the speaker. -
They're an integral part of how the bass drivers work so removing those wouldn't be a good idea.

I am trying them now and they sound great. The speaker is about 16 in from the wall. Polk customer service says it will decrease the bass output.

Right. I've seen them say -3dB output on another model without the benefit of the power port design. They'll still work but just not as designed.

I managed to get one side back on. The other side needs a 1" sq notch of the top right side cut out.

I got it to fit on the shelf. Now to break it in.
