I am sure , with xmas just passed, we might get lots of new members. I was out at the boxing day sale at Future shop, they had a room filled with r30 and r15. With in 30 mins they were all gone. Prices where good, 149$ CAD for the r30s and 79 for the r15.

For anyone who has been around for a while, is this how it happens? do we get a big increase of new members around xmas?

At that price I was tempted to pick some up, I had my eyes on other stuff.

    why do they discount the entry level R line. and hardly ever discount any other lines?

    why not knock off 5% off every Polk Audio speaker to generate some sales? it's not much and people might just buy more speakers that way.

    Volume. volume, volume. That's why the Neon was Chrysler's Bread & Butter.

    They do offer discounts on Polk's higher end stuff a couple times a year. They usually allow retailers to take 10% off for a couple of months or they offer the free subwoofer(or $200 off $500 or more) at other times.

    In my area, price is not as much of a problem, but availability is. CC is the only Polk retailer. There are a couple of us that sell Polk as custom installers, but we don't reach a large part of the market, so availability is still limited.

    the R was entry level and an older line. If there still in stock, theyre getting heavily discounted. the formula is just there.

    different from discounting current in production stock.
