    Give it time. If these live up to the hype, they will end up in more and more stores. Especially at their price point. It just might take a year or two to make it into places that seem like very obviously choices.
    I agree that time will tell all. I'm hoping for Polk that these get labeled as giant killers. Then, those with $4K-$10K to spend on speakers might take notice. If they get some to stretch their budget and others to spend less and adopt Polk into the audiophile fold, then they'll be on to something. Polk is large enough to make some noise in the marketplace.

    Still, lets not forget the LSiM saga. I lived in MI, then moved to IN and could not find a place to demo the speakers in either area. I just knew there would be a huge selection in IL, greater Chi area. However, the choices were not there at all. Only Abt Electronics carried the line and they had very limited selections (703) of the LSiM on display. The 707 is $4K set. So, the smart people at Polk have a lot to figure out and a lot of work to do to move the $6K speakers and more expensive family.

    Reviews will help....get them in the hands of all who don't refuse them!

    A very, very small part of a LBS business is based on service. Usually around 10%

    The money comes from bike sales.

    Like audio, cycling has a traditional brick and mortar style business that allowed bike shops to be generally isolated. Customers wanted to experience the product before slapping down thousands of dollars, high end bikes can easily exceed $10,000 today. Was it the right fit for THEM, bikes are very personal.

    Honestly, audio and cycling are VERY similar industries...
    I used to work in the cycling industry and I agree! Back in the late 80's- early 90's the deep pocket customers that were spending $2K-$4K expected the dealer to cater to them and assist with the fit from pre-sales through years after the sale. Most wouldn't purchase from you if they did not trust in your service and satisfaction guarantee. Do them right the first time and they'll ALWAYS come back for that second, third, fourth, etc purchase. There was a lot of competition back then but I don't think that is true today. Still, the dealer network is crucial.

    I live in NW Ohio. I can drive an hour north to Ann Arbor and listen to $250K Wilson Audios and $125K Sonus Fabers. I had. to drive 3.5 hours to a fellow Polkie's house to hear the LSiM's. I REALLY hope the Legends aren't a repeat of that experience.

    I have been starting to follow the new line up. Was surprised to find an upcoming event at Nebraska Furniture Mart in the DFW area. Not sure I will be able to experience the full line in a quality way.

    You ever try to talk audio with the sales associates at NFM??? They may have been selling toasters or area rugs yesterday.

    So just got caught up on this thread. Interesting the challenges of product distribution, many fans clamoring to get into a demo, all good problems to have, as we say in my biz! Means folks want to buy this product!

    But, here is my biggest take away:

    Yes, but you can get an Extended Warranty/ Service Contract that can conveniently be added to our FREE Financial Package, well Free for the first 30 days anyway!

    And btw, do you have the wires/ cables to properly hook up these beautiful speakers?

    Mike I think that is exactly how the conversation will go. Never will they be able to explain if they will work correctly with my mono blocks.

    Hell, they won’t even know what mono blocks are.

    Interesting bit about possibly using two sets of L800s with height modules as front and rear speakers. Seems to imply no center channel may be needed in that configuration as well as no side surrounds.

    I'm sorry, the L100 lacks bass and therefore a fullness to the sound. The L200 is a much better speaker.

    The author is incorrect about the low end, he quoted the overall. The -3dB is 57Hz.

    Glad you chimed in on this Jesse. I read the review and was a bit surprised by the comments regarding the L100 bass performance.

    I know that one usually does not think of sub-woofers as legends, at least as far as legendary Polks, but I am wondering if there will eventually be a "Legend" sub to pair with the L100 or L200.

    Polk has historically stayed away from high end subwoofers. There are so many options in that space, I don't see them trying to compete

    I dunno Trey, they have to round it out and include a sub, HT is still a big part of their product line. Sig series has it's own sub, I see no reason why they would not make one for the legend series.

    Granted, other brands are kicking rear end in the sub dept.,like you said, but that hasn't stopped Polk from putting out new subs in the past. Some people just like to keep everything brand specific.

    I will be very interested in hearing and seeing how the Legends would integrate with my pair of REL Carbons. It has been eye opening with my Legacy’s but the idea of combining with SDA technology has really been top of mind lately.

    On Man....the two ported 10's have a 3dB down point at 32Hz. A sub to mate up with this set will have to bring it! Anything less than a ported 15" (with their already effective Power Port) driven by 1000-2000 watts of ICEpower and built in DSP just won't get it done. I'm sure they would ask $2000-$3000 for such a sub given the microPRO 4000 was $1700 waay back when.. The SVS PB16 should be the target and hopefully they have a couple in their R&D lab for testing as well as all of the ID subs out there.

    So, IMO if they don't have plans to offer a sub to mate up with the flagship as well as 10"-12" options then they should stay out of that game. Give them a year... If nothing within that time frame, I doubt they will jump in. The same goes for a surround option...and maybe one with ATMOS Enabled or maybe even wall and ceiling mount height speakers. Give them a year.

    Sitting at 3.3m from left and right speakers respective to MLP.
    Left and right speakers are 2.4m apart.
    Left and right speakers is about 21.76 degree based on MLP

    All measurement plus minus 0.2m and 1 degree angle from MLP best estimate.

    SDA effect is phenomenal!. The sound stage already alive using my previous LSIM, it's even better with the wideness from SDA. "Celebrating John Williams Los Angeles Philharmonic Gustavo Dudamel" album literally is alive in front of me. :smile:

    I'm using soundbox diffusers and self made absorbers.
