Last night, after a pretty rough day at work, I found myself sitting on my couch. I powered up my PS3 and started listening to tracks I had ripped to the HDD. I got lost in my music as I increased the volume to just below clipping on my modest system, I started thinking to myself... I have never really thanked Polk for the many great hours of listening enjoyment that I have recieved from these great speakers.

So, here's to you Polk! Thank you for allowing me to escape from my days and put me into audio bliss. Thank you for breathing life into the music I listen to, and thank you for making my music, music to my ears!!

    Thanks Polk for making SDA's and SDA SRS's and using rubber instead of foam. I should not leave off the entire Polk lineup.

    Thank you Polk, for making the R15's that keep me sane at work (which I'm listening to Rush on right now)... And also for the SDA 2's that keep me sane at home. Thanks for bringing top-quality sound to the poor man, and keeping it that way through the years.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    I did see your PM. Really, with the RD0's and Sonic caps I'm extrememly happy with the 1C's and don't really need those 3.1TL's that are so close. I think a_mattison needs to fold the seats down in his SUV and head in and make a deal. :D .

    Yes I did and I'm sorry I never sent a response. One of those things that gets lost in the clutter of e-mail and a busy weekend. Congrats......I'm a bit jealous, but I have plenty of other thigns going on this summer and just couldn't fit it in. Have fun and I'm anxious to see what her concerts are like, let me know. :)

    Will do :)

    My wife has been listening to the CD's I have and she thinks it will be a lot like when we saw Fiona Apple last summer. I think Ani isn't as far out there as Fiona but that is based on seeing Fiona live and hearing Ani live via her bootlegs and Living in Clip.
