    What is a Pro Source dealer and how does anyone locate one? Polk also used to list Custom Installers on the website. Now, when I search on my zip, the 10 closest dealer locations to me are Best Buy and The Home Depot?


    The Home Depot didn't have the Signature series in any finish. :p
    Hey @D2Lo, Pro Source dealers... How do we learn who they are??

    Thanks for the info, at least I know we can go to @dskip for walnut

    Bummer DSkip is not in CA.

    I liked the walnut and the way it blends well with the rest of the speaker. Awesome speaker and WAF should be high on these.

    errr now I have to wait for walnut.

    I know dskip has regional shipping available

    @DSkip, can you get the walnut shipped to CA once released?

    Hey @D2Lo, Pro Source dealers... How do we learn who they are??

    We all used to be registered through distribution as Polk dealers. After the housing crash the library slid downhill.

    I know @dskip has registered can should be able to be verified for warranty. There are 1/2 dozen whole distributors through out the nation, many with national offices that dealers can invite clients to sit in demo rooms upon appointments, or the pro-dealer like Skip may have demos already at the office.

    Good question. Crutch field is the largest dealer in that mix. I'm trying to get a full list of dealers rummaging through their site. Can't seem to find one yet. http://www.prosourceinfo.com/members/member-profiles/

    All things considered, I think Polk hit a solid homerun with this new line. The S60s and S35 I setup this week were well-built, and produced quality sound that I'm sure will improve with break-in.

    Yes we had a rare good weekend for movies and music.

    How do you think my Marantz SR5010 would drive these?

    Nice,

    Once I sell the 5700ES I will put that into HT funds which are now:

    #1 signature S55 or if budget permits S60

    #2 Oppo

    #3 VTF3-MK5

    I spent the last two years on woodworking tools now that's complete it full thrust to HT.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    Would be nice if Polk would come out with a big center like the CSI5 for these.

    Walnut, Polk said sometime in March, I still need to sell my Sony ES receiver and some fishing gear.

    I wonder how much demand there is among "regular folk" for larger centers? I bet not much. Something tells me that's the reason the S35 exists.

    Without a doubt you are correct, which is why I'm hanging on to my large CC.

    I know but I built my TV stand to fit a large center, wishful thinking if they made one.

    I have a CSi5 and a TSX250C wonder which one will blend better with a pair of S55?

    Yes. The LSiM is the better speaker, but also retails for four to six times the cost depending on model. The Signatures have a little more on the top end, but otherwise tonally, they aren't far apart.

    Kinda cements the Sigs as a poor man's LSIM.

    My ears like how it sounds just fine Tony. :p

    Besides, these are Polk speakers not B&W speakers. If they were, THEN you would have something to complain about!

    Cathy, you should consider an area rug to tame reflections a bit. I got mine at Walmart for... I can't remember. Less than $50 I think.
