    As always, Mark....

    excellent, excellent work.

    Gotta love all the shout-out's to Polk and Club Polk.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    It was a good month for Polk. I'm going to try and land an interview with Matt himself for a future issue.

    Perfect timing too, seeing as how there was an article on speaker break in what with all the debate about it around here lately. ;)

    There's been a far bigger debate going on in Steve Hoffman's audio forum. between the two, I got the inspiration to find Danny Richie's work. He was more than willing to let me publish it.

    As usual, an excellent issue.

    Mark, you should consider adding head-fi.org to your list of audiophile forums. These guys are quite fanatical about headphone listening and everything connected to it (sorry for the pun). There's also a section fanatics with speakers as well (big discussion on the $50.00 Insignia/Best Buy speaker). Please check it out.

    Danny:
    They are on the list for inclusion in my monthly directory. One of my writers informed me of them as well.
