Polk SR amps?

Just out of interest, does anyone with close ties to Polk know if they have any plans to develop an SR range of amplifiers?

Seems a shame to have an SR range in speakers and subs but not amps. Given the quality and SQ of the Polk SR speaker range, I'm sure an SR amp range would be a winner and seller for them.

    Interesting...An entire new lineup or just amps, speakers or subs? Pretty curious to see what they come out with. I'd be super keen to get an amp or 2 if they brought an SR range out.

    From my understanding. There will be 7 new amps this time around instead of three. Also they will be just polk audio amps not sr amps or momo amps. None of that stuff.

    Thats cool! That was my one complaint about the old ones - not enough variety. I hear these are supposed to be more powerful than the current lineup as well. Thats always a good thing!! I cant wait to see what they look like.

    Yeah, uh, they're a little later than we originally thought. They will be branded Polk- not db, Momo, or SR.

    We don't have plans for an SR- branded line of amps.

    Can you confirm or deny if the new range of amps will have improved internals/power ratings etc compared to the current range of Polk amps?

    Sounds promising all the same, I'm very interested to see what they come up with.

    Well, there's more models- some are lower powered, some are higher powered than the old Momo amps...

    I think those are right around the corner. We've actually got some in cars, so they exist. Just not in the warehouse quite yet... :D
