Just like to take this opportunity to express my extreme gratitude to Polk Audio for their hospitality this weekend! This was definitely one of the coolest experiences Ive ever had and I will be eternally gratefull.

Its no easy task for one of the worlds largest manufacturers to take an entire business day just to play host and tour guide to a bunch of internet/audio geeks but not only did they pull it off with ease but also made us feel quite welcome and at home.

Matt Polk coming in to talk to us, Polk Paul playing tour guide and all the staff taking time out to talk to us like it was their pleasure, NO OTHER company period, let alone in audio, would ever do this.

So again, to Matt, Paul, Al and all the wonderful staff of the finest company in the world THANK YOU!

Im am forever a lifelong, loyal Polkster!

Also like to thank Mark (Doro) who worked his **** off putting this together. Thanks bro, we all owe ya!

    Not every year, but they definitly seemed to want to do it again, maybe every few years or so.

    they really seemed to appreciate our feedback, especially on some of the new products they're coming out with. IP addressable speaks. absolutly kick **** new inwalls, and the surround bar. which by the way I was very impressed with. The target market is really going to like that thing.

    Man, what can you say? It was such a blast.

    First, let me also thank everyone involved. It was so cool of you guys to take the time and make us feel so at ease. I really got my learn on. It's not something I'll soon forget (who am I kidding, I won't ever forget it!!!)

    Thank you very much!!!

    but to a few

    Matthew - Nice car :cool: It was truly a pleasure. Amy is trying to do it right, man. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day....

    Paul - Hey, another guy from Joisey, ya know? Tell ya what, gimme a yell, I'll ship ya down some tomatoes, I know you gotta be missing them.

    Jim - Thank you very much for the tuner. I'll have it set up within the week. I was thinking about the whole IP thing, Jstas just might be on to something...

    Al - As always, it was great to sit down and chew the fat with you. That Soundbar sounded pretty good in Doro's HT, huh? We are already drew the first name, what a cool idea...

    Stu - Pleasure to meet you, also. I was thinking about your idea over for overseas. It makes ALOT of sense. IMHO, it would streamline the process considerably, and most likely result in a more efficient process...Cool.

    Heddy - I didn't get to thank you, but I have to now. It was very cool of you to set us up with the rooms. I was a little late, but it made things easier for everyone to be close together.

    Ken - Dude, I have to get in touch to tap your recording source. That reel to reel was sweet, as were the recordings. I dig new exposure, free your mind, ya know?

    Justin - Hey man, maybe next time we'll think ahead. Did you drain the battery???

    And a huge thanks to Doro. I know you had your concerns, but I tried to be on good behavior. It's gonna be hard to get close to this one. You da man, my brother....

    And of course, big thanks to all the crew who showed. It is so cool to meet, and feel as though you've known them for years. It's good to belong...
