Is it just me...or do any of you love the way your Polk speaker smells. I am not a psycho or anything, just love that Polk smell. I have 5 Polk speakers and I think that my CS400i center channel smells the "Polkiest". I know others do this.....let yourself be known.

    Man I thought it was just me, I love the smell of my Polks, especially when you really push them, and the air from the inside of the speaker goes all around the room, it's like incense man.

    It's ok. We all have certain . . . urges. That's what we're here for, to talk about them & get in touch w/our feelings. Although my attorney says I'd better not talk about mine, or they'll send me back to funnee place again!:lol:

    Are you certain that is what you are smelling? It could be that you emit a particular scent while listening to music, and Polk speakers in particular. I have read this.

    I wonder what polk is hiding in those boxes that smells so good? Maybe there are some old socks in there.

    As long as the urge to smell the Polks doesn't turn into an obsession with "Doing Certain Things" to the Powerport.
    No excuses!

    I believe that the power port was created because a Polk employee was discovered utilizing a conventional rear port in an unconventional manner.

    With terms like sensitivity, pressure, maximum linear excursion, real wood, "deep and satisfying" (straight off the Polk site), pinpoint localization (important for the ladies), dynamic response, "Ebony" cabinets.. (a little too close to "a boner", don't'cha think?), it was just a matter of time before someone buried their face in their drivers for a whiff.

    I've noticed a marked increase in the sexiness of ads in Sound & Vision. M&K has the yoga chick holding her pooter off the floor, some ad I saw last night has a woman in thigh-high red leather boots.

    If you do go for the rear power port, have the courtesy for a reach-around.

    Forget about a stinky pinky, load up some rip-roarin' music, crank those Polks and get you some **** on your hangdown!
