    the bass response on these is well Amazing, four 12" woofers per speaker, they go subsonic, add that to the space and detail the ribbons deliver and you end up with a speaker that might be your last. The placement of instruments across the stage is awesome as well as the depth, for 895.00 its a true no brainer.

    The Amazing Silvers use THREE x 12" woofs, not 4.

    I'm decreasing these to 800.00 for the pair. Gas being what it is,and I need to get them outta here to make room for the platinums that I picked up yesterday. Thats 95.00, plus gas LESS than I paid. If anyone is sitting on the fence,this should help. Thanks--george

    I would love to, but next to no income, and 2 kids I can't. When things straighten up I will be looking for some. Knowing where they are coming from, and the price is the real kicker. Just isn't happening for now.

    Engtaz.....great purchase. I have a set of Platinums and their sound is breathtaking! Very open. I was worried about placement and the only place I had for them was upstairs in the loft. My A-framed sloped ceiling as well as placing the backs of the speakers toward the railing seems to have worked out perfectly......I guess I lucked out but this placement allowed them to be away from the side walls and gave them 30 feet of open space behind them. Made them sound beautiful...lots of breathing space!! I power mine with a Lightstar Reference 2.0 amp. ENJOY!!!

    Enjoy Engatz, when I first heard these I spent many hours in the woodshed.
    RT1, maybe you should retire early and start a polk delivery company!

    Sweet Jesus, man he's friggin GIVING them away. You kids keep playing with your pint sized speakers.

    I guess it's like I always say: "Those who don't know, don't know that they don't know..."

    Put 'em on the 'Gon, man. Screw it...
