Changes to Polk Audio website

The Polk Audio web site looks completely different and it no longer has a link to the forums. Does anyone know what is going on?

    Interesting. I wonder if it is a mistake, or an indicator of what's to come?

    Looks mainly like an effort to scrub the old branding off the site's pages and do a gradual update of everything. It's happened before.

    At least they removed the heart. I just never liked it with the current logo.

    I'm sure that is a work in progress and looking a lot better than the older version, which never made any sense.

    None of the Legend series is on sale.

    Oops, I mistook the red sale emblem for the wrong speaker. But, aren't the L600 and L200 prices lower than they used to be? Didn't L600 use to be about $4000 a pair, and now it shows as $3498 a pair. L200 were $1799 a pair, now $1499. L100 now $999. Maybe it has been that way for a while and I never noticed.

    Those were the original MSRP prices, which increased just before the Legend line was released due to increased tariffs. Polk seems to have found a way to get back to the original prices.

    Maybe not from Polk directly (?) but dealers have "price breaks" on at least some of them (FWIW):

    I think they they should revert back to the 1996/1997 website and go from there.
