    So I would say myself, Brian, and @seeclear, could get these to each other, and split the shipping to the person next in line, and Brian or myself could ship them from the shop might be easiest, if @seeclear is good with that we can work out the details later or once the speakers are here in the state, I am just not sure or remember where seeclear lives in the state..

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see/hear a pair in Arlington in October, but I could be wrong.

    I would love to demo some modern Polk bookies to compare to the Emit M20s. Count me in and I'll drive them to whomever is next in the Denver area and send money to @Toolfan66 for the split shipping between all of us.

    @rburgess714 Hey Ray, maybe we can get the Demo from Polk in Vista CA.

    I just got 705's so I'm not in for a two week trial but I would like a listen.
    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.

    Just a quick update. There will be 2 pair available for this demo, so I'll likely do an East - West thing.

    I forgot to mention you must have at least 100 posts and be an active member to participate.

    That means we Midwest dudes get punked. :) If we start one pair on the east coast and one on the west, the Midwest won't see them until the next series comes out. Try and grab one more pair Jess, just sayin'.
