Hi Everyone @ ClubPolk ,

I'm new so forgive my french (I'm from the Netherlands - Europe) and I'm in the rare situation to buy a couple of old Polks. At least that's what the previous owner is letting me to believe.
Polk Audio is not sold in Europe or anywhere near where I live...

Can anyone tell me if the speakers shown in the picture are as he says a type of Polk Speakers. He tells me that these are Polk Audio Studio 2, but I can't find these speakers on the net anywhere.

    Dodd - Battery Preamp
    Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
    Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
    ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
    DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
    Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
    Outlaw ICBM - crossover
    Beringher BFD - sub eq

    Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!

    Hi Danny, welcome!

    If you want you can email Ken Swauger here on the board. He's in customer service. He could probably tell you for sure if there was ever that kind of a speaker.

    If they are Polk's they have modified end caps, as in aftermarket/custom....Polk wouldn't produce anything that ugly.
    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.

    Thanks U all!

    I've received word from Ken and he told me also that these speakers are no Polks...

    I've just notified the so called Polk owner to let him know that the ones he's trying to sell aren't Polks... Imagine the look on his face...

    :o

    Nothing like trying pass a Boston Accoustics off as a Polk!
