John (noosinjohn) and I just completed our deal over the weekend and I just wanted to say a few words.
I am in it for the music. I love Polks because it gives me the best of the music I want to listen for what I can afford. Thats why I am here.
For John it is different. He is here because he lives it. He and his equipment are one. Trust me on that. So from now on when you read one of his posts realize he is not writing just words words he is writing from within.
It was a pure pleasure just to listen to him and watch him, the care he gives his actions.
John, thanks for the experience you gave me and for the 1.2's. I can't give them what you did, but they will be treasured for what they give me every time I listen to them. Thats the difference with the Sda speakers, you listen, not just hear.
Oh yeah, thanks for the cokes, they were great.

You are the man,
Joe

    It was a privilege to meet you as well. The 2.3's are a delight to listen to(wife likes their sound better)... they fit just beneath the mantle of the fireplace with barely a 1/16" gap from the tops of the speakers. I am glad you will enjoy the 1.2tl's as much as I did. Grab a mexican coke, put on some great music and close your eyes. These speakers do a better disappearing act than David Copperfield ever did.:cool:
