Something cute (and sad) my 4 yr old boy said

I just sold my RT2000P's to someone today to make room for the new 2-channel rig I'm putting together. While I was helping them load the speakers into the car, he came up to me with the saddest face and said, "Don't take my speakers!" That was just about enough to break my heart. :( It was already hard enough to see my first pair of Polks head out to a new home. He's brought it up a couple more times since and I finally told him that daddy sold them so that we could go get him better speakers.:D

    Cute story.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    With the 1C's and Anthem amp you'll both soon forget about those RT2000p's :D. Kids are precious.

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    I guess dad is training his son well on the importance of good audio. He'll have more and bigger audio experiences to remember as he age and hopefully will ackowledge what good audio is all about versus the ipod, MP3 and all of the other junk technology kids are accustomed today. Thanks for sharing this nice story with us :cool:

    Cheers!

    Its time to sit him down and tell him the truth: "Son, your daddy has been hanging out with the wrong crowd and now has a disease. It is called audiophilia and it is going to get much worse". :eek:
