Recieved a new floorstander today,and it has a heavy sounding rattle on the bottom when shifted(easily)from side to side! Is that most likely a magnet that fell off? I'm returning it,but still curious.:sad:

    Hey Bob, I don't think it's the magnets. Could be but the way Polk shields the speakers I would be surprised. Of course you know how rough the shippers are and anything can happen. When I got my bookies it was the port tube rattling around, in both speakers, so I glued it back into place and everything is fine. Feel around the port opening and see if the tube is attached, if not open the speaker, gently, and fix it. I called Polk before I opened mine so my warranty would not be voided. Even if it was not the port tube, I really would like to know what the rattle is but that's just me.

    Of course you did not say if you bought Polk's but since you posted here......

    Thanx for the reply rebuy! Actually I bought a pair of KEF Q900's. Just trying to feel out a different brand of speakers! They responded quickly to me 2nite,after i E-mail the company,and are sending me a return tag. The only bummer is i wont have another one til mid next week! Oh well,nooki,nookie,joepadie,da!

    I guess they all have problems when going through shipping. I hear those KEF's are nice.

    I'll have to wait til the 3rd to find out! Had 1 demo,and sounded great! The reviews are through the roof! But I like to hear in my own setting before the final judgement! to be continued?!
