    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    I will particularly miss Ken's link to the history of both Polk and the Baltimore area hifi scene.

    Ken is truly a class act. I wish him well. Many thanks for all he's done to keep this forum from collapsing in on itself many times over! He'll be missed. I pity the soul who tries to step into his shoes...

    Wasn’t he the one who handed down my thirty day ban? No hard feelings Ken.

    What are the new joiners that have a problem with their 10 year old Polk audio subwoofers going to do now?
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Good luck to you, and happiness in whatever the future holds. I also hope you
    are able to come back here and join in whenever possible; to not share your wisdom
    and experience would be a sad thing for everyone on this forum.

    Respectfully,
    Harry
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    My wish is for Ken to come on this forum after he leaves and make an outlandish comment and get 30 days in the hole. He would become the Ip man of club Polk

    He's a class act. For real, so that would never happen.

    Tomorrow is Ken's last day as moderator of Club Polk. Let's all wish him the very best and thank him for his help and guidance here over the years.

    Ken, as a tribute to your successful moderation, I "liked" Jesse's post.
