I’m looking to buy a set of Polk L800 but I can’t find a true left and right, what would happen if I bought two lefts or two rights what ever is available brand new does it really matter

    Yes, you do need a left and a right.

    I wish I could answer that. I ordered replacement crossovers for mine and came to learn that left and right are identical. The two in my speaker are the same part number as those shipped to me by Polk.

    It would be hard to believe if the speakers were actually made differently, I have a ton of polks and some Goldenear but I was just thinking maybe snag a set or I can get I used LSI 707 for like 700-800. I have the triton one.r and the Triton 2 and Polk SDA 1.2tl and Polk Rt3000 and many more

    I’m sure the crossovers are the same, I’m assuming it’s all in the wiring, question is can that easily be done? I own a set, but have never really opened them up, other than replacing the tweeters.

    Is it worth spending 6000 grand on two lefts at best buy

    I like the mids an highs on the Goldenears but I have already added to Sunfire Hts 10s and i normally run a Pioneer PL707 turntable so if I turn up the volume my subs go nuts as it gets some sort of feedback with the turntable but I feel my Rt3000p still have more bass so that’s why I thought of the l800

    That would be my guess as well. If @nooshinjohn was inside of his, he may have some insight.

    Absolutely not! They are worth half that. Best Buy never stocked them in their stores. I do not know where
    you are located, but these are worth a drive...

    You need a subsonic filter, something like this.
