Anyone remember Eosone? I did not know the ties to Polk Audio. I did like Eosone back in the 90s.

I have not verified this video, just an aging audio'ish guy with random flashes of memory instances of audio.

Cheers.

    That was interesting.
    Never heard of Eosone.

    It looks like some of what Eosone did ended up in the RT line that went over to Circuit City as a primary retailer before ecommerce was a thing. From what I remember, back in that era Best Buy was selling Bose and JBL mainly. I even bought a pair of Advent Heritage speakers there. I never saw a pair of Eosone speakers in a Best Buy. Might be because they weren't around for long and the Best Buy store near me opened after those speakers left the marketplace.

    My BB sold a gob of them. They also sold REAL legit audio gear there as well. In the beginning our BB sold good high quality amps, preamps cassette decks, high end Sony ES gear and other stuff. Today they sell high dollar bottom of the sludge barrel audio gear and some great TV's. To be perfectly honest they are a household appliance store that sells phones and computer gear.

    Yeah, I was in Best Buy just about every weekend back in the 1990s into the 2000s since they were my main source of CDs and DVDs. I spent a lot of money there.

    I was thinking of BB for a new TV. And that’s about it.

    I have a pair of the RSF-600's in a 2nd rig. Not bad speakers at all.

    That Monster XP and the blurry images just sells it for me! I do remember those at my local Best Buy. At the time I had no idea they were connected to Polk. Pretty sure any drivers in those are unobtainoum these days.
