    No... he was having sex like the cat does. It's like Doggy style but you bite the back of the neck all dominant style.

    Right??

    Hmmm, maybe that's why the cat stares?

    He's sitting there thinking "bite the neck! bite her neck you dumbass! I can't believe he's not biting her neck! Stupid! Stupid!"

    I got into Polks much in a manner that a man learns to love a real woman.

    My first speakers were Cerwin Vegas. Cool kick **** party speakers. Probably no different than your first teenage love. Then I evolved....

    Next were Boston Acoustics. A taste of class and the enjoyment of the company provided for the subtle things. Then I matured to the real deal.

    I got Polks. Tried everything out in between. Magnipan, etc. Once I uncrated the Polks and got to hear them extensively, there was no looking back. Much like my wife, except I did not uncrate her! :p She came to me and, in retrospect, I admit that I was looking ... just like how I found my Polks! :D

    My story is pretty recent. I first heard of Polks in the 80s, they were in most Sam Goody stores in NYC playing tunes (bookshelves). Never thought about them after that. Then I spent some time in one of the Old CC listening rooms a couple of years before they went belly up! Listened to all the towers they had there and the Polk Ms--really all of them but especially the M70s (I now own) just sounded so much better than anything else in there. The Polk sound had clean highs and phenomenal MIDS--very crisp and detailed, and tight bass--not deep but tight. They just PUT OUT THE SOUND!!! And a lot of it!

    Went on months later to hear Rti-10s and 12s, at Tweeter and then the LSI-15s. I found I was into this Dynamic Balance thing Polk kept talking about. So I bought a set of HT M series with M70s and the Polk Rep who used to be on the CC site recommended Club Polk. So I registered. Now I'm waiting to pick up my first set of SDA-2Bs and the illness has taken root! I'm becoming an addict! But I'm not as bad as some of 'you'...yet!

    You won't be disappointed when you get the 2Bs. Sound wise that is where I stopped in my sonic "love" search. Once I heard them, I knew I was "home". They are cranking in the background as I write this message.
