edited March 2016 in Speakers
THIS DEMO IS CLOSED AS OF 8.14.12

This demo is for a pair of Polk Audio OWM5 OR OWM3 Multi-Function Loudspeakers.

This is open to all active Club Polk members within the CONUS. Sorry, no Alaska or Hawaii at this time.

You'll have two(2) weeks to listen to the speaker(s) and when the demo is completed, contact me for pre-paid shipping arrangements to the next person. I cannot pick and choose which model you will get at this time. You may get one or the other for now.

Please post your subsequent review in the product pages of the homepage. You HAVE to take the time to do this folks. You don't have to gush and pour sugar on everything, just be candid, be honest, be real.

Please post your review for the OWM5 here.

Please post your review for the OWM3 here.

If you are interested in this idea?...please send your name, shipping address, daytime/evening phone number and email to [email]mnestor@polkaudio.com [/email]

IF YOU ARE IN THIS DEMO PROGRAM, AND YOU CHANGE YOUR RESIDENCE, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO LET ME KNOW THE NEW ADDRESS. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE IN ANYMORE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

    I'll have all the labels emailed tonight...expect shipping on Monday. Guys, I need you to be somewhat timely on these labels since I have to create them for a specific time period, otherwise they go "dead". Just keep that in mind. I usually make them active for 7+ days..

    Received the OWM's but they were not the OWM3's but to my surprise the new/ bigger brother the OWM 5's. Very nice speakers. Currenly running them of my Pioneer Plasma Monitor with 9 watts and it sounds great. On vacation for the next two weeks so I'll be trying them as surrounds then onto the fronts.

    Thanks Polk

    I have another pair for rotation and will get them moving as soon as I iron out some details. That'll make 2 and it should move things faster for everyone.
