Given the Fact that these speakers are considered High End
Audio equipment, shouldn't the prices for these speakers be a
lot Higher takeing into consideration that they are no longer in
production.?.I feel that $100, $200 or even the initial list price
$350 ,is to low for High End Speakers. We should sell and buy
these Speakers in the $4000 and $9000 Dollar range.I will
not sell if the prices are so low.

    Ask Richard Vandersteen if he thinks Polk Audio is high end. ;)

    I have a high end and a low end but have found that whats in the middle counts most. Think about it.

    I currently consider myself mid-end, but by age 50 I plan to be low end and just as happy.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Did you just buy Polk stock?

    Hmm... while typing that I just realized that I don't know - is Polk even a publicly traded company? I kinda doubt it.

    My quip stands, however.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Me Thinks Discomixman has started partying for the weekend already. Please put your observation in a little more context so those of us who haven't started partying yet can relate to what you are trying to express/////
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    You will still have a great pair of speakers that you bought at a reasonable price that fits most middle income buyers wallets.
