    Yeah, those new Polks looks seriously nice. Props to Polk for manufacturing a quality curved cabinet at an affordable price! Might sound even better with some breathing room (from that wall). Also, good job on having a turntable.

    Nice looking setup! Dual is a great old TT. Are you using a phono pre? I don't see it?

    Because they are a mechanical thing with rubber on the drivers which needs to be worked to loosen up. Now, back to the camaro... :D
