since the new Polk Audio web page started, it is harder and harder to find the forums. First I had to go to the "Support" site but now the forums are not even there. I had to type in the URL to get to this place. I guess we are doomed to be a dieing breed,,,, :'(

    I just type "forum" and auto-complete does the rest.
    https://forum.polkaudio.com/

    Actually, come to think of it, I have it as one of my start-up pages on the Chrome browser. :)

    When I came out of anesthesia once in the recovery room ( I pop out fully alert. Apparently that's not the case for some) the guy in the adjoining bed was freaking out because he didn't know what was going on. He yelled "What's happening?!! Where am I?!!" So I looked over at him and said "Earth, I think!". The nurse said " You probably shouldn't antagonize him" :D

    The first time I came out of it I looked at the guy next to me, he looked as white as the sheet over him, so I asked out loud, "Am I dead?". No was the distant answer...lol

    The L800 appear to be BACK on the website, so maybe a link to the forum might yet happen... 🤔

    Not sure about the DETAILED DESCRIPTION section, though... 😬

    Benefits Tab:

    ✔️ Make virtually any TV sound incredible
    ✔️ Hi-Res music streaming with Chromecast
    ✔️ 3 years warranty
    ✔️ 6.5” Turbine Cone coupled with the Pinnacle tweeter give you the most accurate musical reproduction from a bookshelf speaker. Great for 2-channel and used as rears for a Home Theater

    And the issues noted have not been fixed either... @KennethSwauger this is a ridiculous and meaningless description for the Legend L800. 🤦‍♂️

    Any chance of a fix, or is the L800 just doomed already? 🤔

    Actually, Stu said multiple times a set of these in the rear and as fronts produced incredible sound

    Still not a bookshelf speaker, though. Also, nothing to do with Chromecast (any streamer could be added to a receiver, obviously, but this implies that it’s integrated).

    Also doubt there’ll be more than three people on the planet using them as rears in a HT. Might as well add that suggestion on the product page of the Focal Grande Utopia.
