    I'm not 100% on what details Polk will release on Friday, but I've got lots of juicy details, which I can reveal after the official announcement.

    I like that the design of the cabinet will prevent the tops from being used for houseplants and cup-holders.

    I guess we will find out Friday what they are, along with the physical size. While I have no desire to change my stereo, I might spend some money on the HT/spare stereo.

    Well, my eyes ARE brown.... But the prototype I saw matches the pics above nearly to a T. Obviously the proto didn't have as many styling ques but it was all there.

    I see they corrected the SDA title from CRS to SRS. I had emailed them pointing out the error, and other more minor, and suggested they get a refund from their advertising department.

    Nice of Polk to be accommodating and host an event after sundown. The company has a heart.

    L800s brought in under $6K a pair. Impressive feat.

    And, no DSP or powered subwoofers. All acoustic. Excellent!

    A full lineup finally, including Atmos speakers.

    Just noticed it appears the L800s have a separately ported midwoofer in the top of the cabinet.

    The L800’s overall specifications read like those of a future bantamweight champ. Each speaker weighs a hefty 118-pounds and measures 17.9”W x 48.6”H x 17.4”D, carrying a total of six drivers and wicked down-firing port. And it’s sure to require decent power to drive (87dB, 4 ohm), with an overall frequency response of 24Hz-50kHz.

    The Legend Series’ other tower option is no slouch either, weighing in at 77.8-pounds (12.9” x 46” x 15.9”) and possessing playback down to 28Hz.

    While that’s a great video I’m disappointed they would release it prior to Polk’s own announcement. Extremely disappointed. I imagine Polk won’t be too fond of that either.

    I dunno man, all press is good press and all that. This just all adds to the hype and excitement. The point is to get the word far and wide and ultimately sell lots of speakers, right? And I don't see how these early posts will detract from that...

    Yup, these are now on my want list for the new house when I get back from deployment. Hope the pricing stays well regulated and the speakers hold their value well (assuming they are up to snuff)

    It looks like AVS got the word to let the cat out of the bag early. I'm sure Polk OK'ed it as two sources released info this morning.
