    Merhaba!

    I think all Polk's are made in China. I was in Izmir, Turkey for 2 years (1992-1994) working for NATO. Welcome brother!

    Apologies Kumadam.

    Guys, lets try not to be arrogant Americans. It makes us all look bad. Turks are a very proud, good people. If you have a Turk for a friend, you have a friend for life.

    They are very sensitive about respect for their culture and country (as we are), and I understand completey; just as we wouldn't like a foreigner coming on here making "American" jokes...right? I lived in Turkey..(which, by the way, is the way we incorrectly say it...it's actually Tur-kee-ya in Turkish) and these are wonderful people. I treasure the memories I had in my time there. These are hard working, friendly people that would give you the shirt off their back---very much like Americans; which probably explains our good relationship with them.

    Again, sorry Kumadam...

    :rolleyes: They don't come with a sense of humor there?

    I think we were just joking around.

    Good friend of mine married a turkish girl. I was his best man on their wedding in Ankara but unfortunately didn't have time to see Istanbul. Next time. Now they are back in Finland but I met many Turks here in DFW that I still keep in touch. Very nice and friendly people! Welcome to the forum!

    Kumadam, in America, that is what is known as a "Freudian slip".

    .....or a one-track mind.

    .....or both. :)

    You'll find the Turkish folk saying, "Havlayan kopek isirmaz" applies here.

    Have some fun !

    Seriously, no harm was intended towards you, kumadam. We make fun of ourselves more than anything/anyone else.

    It's been said here, to just about everyone that has joined CP, that thick skin is almost a prerequisite.

    Anyways, welcome to CP. Hope that you stick around and get your audio learn on.

    I have many fond memories of my port visits to Izmir and Antalya Turkey in 1989 and 1991 courtesy of the US Navy. I also have fond memories of drinking "Raki" and experiencing why it is referred to as "Tigers Milk" !!
    Thats some strong stuff! Welcome to Club Polk!

    since the Polks have been made in china I notice the satisfaction period between listening sessions seems to be decreasing. After 30 min. you just have to have some more.
