I post this to prove it happened. My ears are already thanking me. And yes you can see this is no way set up to image for an evaluation. Couldn't find my Silver Bullet Band CD so Styx went first.

You can also use the photos as a reference to your spouses that you do not have too much stuff...look at this room. I have posted a picture with my excuse as well.

Thanks to the CP member who downsized his collection...I will clean up soon.

    I find it hard to believe that they could have sounded good with Styx playing through them.:p;)


    The 7B's are some great sounding speakers...they should sound MUCH better once you've got them set up properly too. Congrats on the new toy!

    The project speakers are a rosewood RT5000p system. There are a set of SDA- 2Bs lurking in the shadows to the right of them. If you look closely in the rack picture you will spot an RT-8 to the far right and a magnivox cabinet stereo.

    Wow Jeff. That does look crowded. Is that the 2910 playing?

    P.S. That boy looks a lot like you!!!!!!

    Ricardo... I don't think it is powered up in the picture, but yes I did use the 2910 to play. I used the whole rig...you disconnected the wiring so I am not sure I have it as you did. You were right about the Outlaw IC. I like the way it connects.

    It won't be crowded for long. Just got out of a storage bin and have been moving lots of stuff around. I feel better knowing that everthing made the trip and works.

    I'll keep you in mind Nik. It looked like you had a lead in your area in another thread. I will say the wood endcaps on these look like they will clean up with some lemon oil. The cloth needs to be redone. I already got a replacement driver for the frozen one from Ben. It does not have the original cable, but the cable that I got with them looks decent DIY. The gentleman I got them from was out of work and inherited them from his uncle. If I hadn't already paid for the TFM-45 from thsmith to drive them I might be more tempted...but I haven't even heard them.

    Thats pretty cool Cincy. The more I hear about the 7's, the more I want to find a pair. Finding all you Polk lovers (I thought I was the only one until I found this place) has given me the fever bad. I want a pair of all of them!
