    I doubt those are polks since the only part that even come close to resembling anything polk uses are the binding posts on the back. It even says they're "Dynamic Audio" speakers...

    Overload Protection Circuit...*They can not blow*

    I'm convinced they do "blow" regardless of the protection circuit. :D

    Them being digital ready was the selling point for me.
    I also like the stealth factor Polk took on these speakers, they didnt put their logo anywhere on them!

    thats a generic white van speaker from the early 90's. they had a bunch of different names stamped on them. My dad got a pair of these from a white van before he knew about the white van scam. he only paid 120.00 bucks, so it wasnt THAT bad. He needed a 2nd set of speaks for another room, backround only, so he didnt care.

    I had another friend that paid 450 for them, that poor gut got screwed without any foreplay. and I had to break the news to him after he was telling me about this "great deal I got!"

    they SUCK. no matter how loud you play them, you can still here them SUCKING in the backround :P

    for saying there Polk?, someone needs to go to this sellers house and simply take a crap on the hood of his/her car. it sounds crude, but very effective

    Well, I thought I would e-mail here as well and ask the ultimate question. Are you sure.....

    Her response, "Pretty sure. The guy I got them from said they are. They sound great...I've had them hooked up to my computer. Thanks, Michelle!"

    Oh Boy!

    Screw the speakers. I wonder if Michelle is cute. Maybe we should put her on a swap program and let her listen to some real Polks.
