    He did say on video that he was most impressed by the soundbar during one of the Polkfests years ago!

    Jesse also gave away his SDAs and now pushes soundbars. It's all on video.

    I think he went with B&W front and Klipsch rears.

    How long have you been away?
    That will give us a better period to judge what's happened.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned this. Polk has reintroduced a new Polk SDA and they are actually making award winning speakers.

    How do their new bookies sound? And how do they compare with the Elacs?

    They are very nice and much more to my taste than the ELACs (i.e., the ones I have, the Debut 2.0 B6.2).

    verb bought some more stuff.

    John had his speakers set up correctly, after all.

    SDA is not an effect.

    Some more celebrities died.

    Jesse likes vinyl now.

    Ha! I was certainly on a binge over the past few years! Settling down now a bit (lol) but always on the lookout!

    Another awesome thing that happened was the dreadnaught group buy of 2019! Led by @pitdogg2 for the isolation transformer order and complimented by custom cases built by @Toolfan66!

    @vcwatkins was also a big part, and IIRC @erniejade started it all buy asking if anyone had one they'd like to sell!

    Thanks Ivan, Craig, and Larry!
