    Polk is a universal term. When translated into any language it simply means "ultra badass speakers that will blow away anything that Bose, or most other speaker companies have ever produced". It's amazing how you can say so much with such a small word.:p

    actually, bo(umlaut)se is more like evil or angry, as the penultimate post indicated.

    The company named after Dr Amar Bose (no umlauts) announced today a 10% RIF (ca. 1000 FTEs).
