    From 1972 till now? In the speaker business? Show me someone else that deserves to retire as much as Matt Polk.

    Thanks for everything Matt, you're the greatest.

    Sorry, forgot to post in this thread but it's definitly true. I believe you'll get some love from your friendly neighborhood Polkman early next year. Happy Holidays freaks.

    Well, I think that Paul W. Klipsch would've been slightly more deserving of retiring... but Klipsch chose to do it the old fashioned, permanent way.

    And, by all accounts, Mr. Polk is a nicer guy than Col. Klipsch was. I will avoid the question of which fellow made nicer speakers... but I still own several pairs of Polks, and zero pairs of Klipsches at this point.

    I would like to see Matt Polk get involved in cabling. Who knows, he did start once.

    He has other hobbies that do interest him.
