    Picture needs to be bigger.

    Is that a phase plug in the center of the top woofer?

    Not my pic, and the only pic I've seen from CES.

    Yes, that's a phase plug. Its interchangable with a straight or an angled tweeter post.

    Man that x-over is a monster! Thats usually a good sign tho. Theyll look cool mounted above my amps! :D

    I like the hell out of them. I think they look bad as hell and the handle, "Signature Series" is classy.

    I think these are gonna put Polk Audio on the high end map, where they shouldve been all along cause theyve always been good enough they just didnt have the "high end" offering. Now they do. Its on!

    I think there's a CES thread that discusses these things.

    $430 seems a little high to me...but who pays MSRP anyway?

    Yeah. I doubt itll ever hit the stores at that price. The MM6 was retail at $350 but it was never any higher than $300. Id say these will go for $375 or so which is fair. $200 in subs and $175 for the box. You cant get a box custom built for less than $200 so this is fair. And with SoundDomain's discounts, thisll probably be going for $300.

    LOL!

    Those are the soon to be released Polk Audio Signature Series speakers. Their long awaited "high end" speaker.
