    Dang Kerry...when you take a swing your not hitting foul balls bro. Rock on with your bad self.

    Ken has pretty much put this to rest now. Thanks to all who stepped up, stepped into the weeds to help protect the forum.

    Now can we get back to talking about speakers ? I hear Polk has some new kids on the block and I'm jonesin for some member reviews. We can also talk about food, wine and women....those things accompany audio too...right?

    Only 3 members stepped up to the plate, two more were seemly joking about stepping up.

    Sorry Jesse. You are correct. Though I could possibly be a good moderator, I lack the ability to commit due to work constraints. Was just trying to lighten the discussion.

    I would like to clarify a statement I made earlier referring to those that chose to say nothing...there are some here, because of the nature of their business, or, position with a particular company, made the politically correct decision to refrain from commenting. There are times where political correctness, or, being judicious on what you say on a public forum, is, for lack of a better word...correct. I understand the need to refrain from the muck, and, hope I didn't offend those in that position.

    ...The role of being an active club member, given to the occasional outburst or take down, is not compatible with the requirements of impartial moderation. You can do one or the other, but very few could do both.

    I respectfully disagree. I think being an active member, and “given to the occasional...takedown” is not only compatible, but essential to the role of moderator. Do we really want a mod with no dog in the fight

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    WOW, I missed a bunch. Here is a serious question, is there anyone else on the Polk Forum that works as hard as Jesse on the forefront, and behind the scenes as he does? Especially the last couple years? I don’t see it, for someone that is not employed by the company he has had a solid commitment to the brand since day one, so he tells it like it is, that’s one of the things I love about the guy, love him or dislike him, you can’t dispute the facts...

    Completely agree Larry.
