No, that was/is the Forte & Chorus.
“I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God.” ~ Johnny Cash
Check. The Corny uses a 15 inch woofer in a bass reflex alignment. Pretty prodigious bass (at least the originals) and close to 100 dB sensitivity. Cannot vouch for the real sensitivity of the III (much less the IV), but there's hope that the new IV won't be as ear-gouging as the I and II were. I've yet to hear a III (full disclosure).
I once owned a pair of Chorus II's with the Crites upgrade. I miss them.

Just in case you haven't figured it out, old is new again. Companies go where the money is and in the last few years JBL and others are revamping their older designs with modern technology and folks are buying. You're free to design your own place them in the market and see where it goes. There were very few open baffle designs at the last two huge audio shows i attended.
To LOL the original post was unnecessary and douchey.

Yeah I've seen his trouble making posts, he won't likely be around long.

Since you're having such a hard time getting along with...well, everyone here a good look in your mirror will give you the answer as to what the problem is. If you are of the opinion that you are unable to change your attitude perhaps it would be best to find others more in line with your character traits.

Don't forget these:
"All this talk about SDA makes me want to puke. Speaker technology has improved since then, get over it."
"I don't let other people decide my own happiness. I've tried many flagship vintage speakers that cost $10,000-$20,000 and every single one of them sounded like a-s-s compared to $900+ modern Polk speakers. Luckily I was able to get my money back. In my opinion, many people buy into the "old speakers are better" hype and get stuck in the past."
"Of course, when I speak my opinion, some jack-a-s-s has to say I'm a troll. Not surprised. A lot of audiophiles get defensive when someone questions their belief system. Had I known this was a circle jerk thread for SDA speakers, I would've kept to myself."
"Please do tell, how am I being a troll? I've spent more money on loudspeakers than you will in your entire life. I've tried brands from all kinds. Just because my observation doesn't align with yours doesn't make me a troll, but someone who has a lot of experience with loudspeaker systems."
"If you have nothing left to say on the matter, the best way to back out is to NOT POST AT ALL.
"Ooh, look at me, I'm posting to say you're too stupid to keep talking to! Aren't I clever? +1 post!"

Better than you might expect
On paper, everything about the design is wrong (i.e., diffraction is, at least formally, a problem with them) -- but the Cornies I had did OK. And, yes, I had them in the corners.

Agree. 2 was not smooth at all. The 3's were suprising smoother on top i thought and better midrange.

He is stating his opinion.
IF you can not handle people that think differently than you just Ignore them.
Instead of cluttering the forum with nonsense, bickering and trying to force people out of the forum.
Many on the forum do not care for your attitude, and Ignore you, and it works great.
Have a great day!

We owned some Heresy's also, (late 80s version) they were great on some music, but found our Polks (most of them) simply a bit smoother to listen to long term.
Hard to beat the efficiency and clarity though!

Yet, there are many that do love his opinions. Jesse has been a pillar of this community as well as being a huge help on many levels technically. The troll in question, PolkAudioJoJo, who had 59 posts as of this thread, not so much. As pointed out, many of his 59 posts are mired in rancor. Basically Troll mentality. I'm firmly in Jesse's corner on this one.
Funny, could have sworn you recently stated you had me on ignore. It's alright though, I know you have trouble with the truth.

I agree Jesse does have a lot of good input, but we can not treat members on
the forum as "trolls" either.
I sincerely do not see him as a troll at all. all forums have differing views, and they can coexist side by side.
I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and hopefully keep people on the forum.
