    He did, and I have them. I ended up with 3 different Polk items to demo and write about all at the same time. These speakers will be demo'd and shipped to the next person around mid-january. With the holidays, and two other items I'm demoing, I had to take a little extra time.

    Yes, I have. A review will be coming soon.

    Hey Mark, I clicked your link on the first post for reviews but I can't seem to find any tab that lets me offer mine. Help me out here please.....

    Sorry about that Mark, I hit the link provided and I must have missed the writing in blue that said "Write your own review" the first time. Thanks.

    Don't ever let it happen again or I'm keeping your newborn baby next time.

    They were received DOA. It's not your fault Aaron, just a status update.

    We're working with Polk to get them repaired so bear with me Polkies. Shack is handling the logistics for now.

    Doro can one still get in on the action? I was tempted in the future to maybe get these for a PC rig and was just wondering if we can still sign up?

    Dorokusai,
    What does the current list look like - just wondering how far down the list I am.

    Thanks!

    You can take me off the list - I've upgraded my fronts, changed out my ICs and Speaker cables....everything is settling in - so I'm good for now.

    Thanks, though!
