    I'm not convinced, there, Botty McBottersen.

    Wow! That was fast shipping. Again, enjoy. I recommend putting them on some solid stands. The relatively cheap Monoprice Monoliths (a Pangea knockoff) worked well for my R200. Just mass load them with something like aquarium gravel or sand. You might need to seal the bottoms better if you use sand. If I recall, the fit at the bottom plate of each tube is not super precise. Gravel did not have any leakage, but fine sand might. (Note: I am only recommending the version with 4 square tubes. I have no experience with the other varieties.)

    For the record, I said "Thank you" twice in private messages to PolkSocial, the only participant in this thread to whom thanks was due. I will now say "Thank you" to those of you who felt the need to point out my deficiencies.

    Super late to the party. Thought I'd just share my story. My Polk Journey started as a kid in a NYC Public Library, fondly reading audio magazines. One of them struck me as amazing, Matthew Polk standing in a lab coat next to a pair of SDA. I was hooked on music and audio reproduction at the time but had to do with my parent's Fischer system but was dreaming of Polks. Right after college, my first paycheck went to a pair of Polk RT55. This first system grew to a 7.1, with in-wall RT rears, FX surrounds, PWS450 sub, CS400 center. I was content for a very long time. Since then I've added multiple generations of flagship Polk speakers. Started with a pair of LSi25, LSiC, LSiF/X and a pair of DSW microPRO-3000 somewhere in between. I have these in my game room. Then I added the LSiM707 and its whole family of theater speakers and still very much capable and used quite frequently in my 9.7.6 dedicated theater. In Nov 2019, as far as I know, I bought the first pair of L800 Legends after hearing them at an Audio Show in NYC right there and then. They're still the main anchor of my 2ch system. I've added other brands of speakers from Ascend Acoustics, Totem, B&W, KEF, Martin Logan, Klipsch, Elac and Q Acoustics.
