    Has anybody had success with using both the 40 percent off code with the 10 percent off code. It seems that it didn't work for me.

    Did any of the codes work for you? Looks like they finally stopped the promo; the 40% promo code doesn't seem to be working now. Is that still working for you?

    You had to apply one, wait for the cart price to update, then add the second code and apply it, then wait for the cart to update the discount amount. Then you could proceed.

    On Sunday I put four L600's and two sets of the L900's in my cart and the 40% discount did work, but the 10% did not. I went ahead and paid without the 10% discount thru PayPal and the order did not go thru. I am currently e-mailing a sales rep back and forth for a solution.

    Still a killer deal even if the 10% doesn't stack, but hopefully the sales rep can help you out.

    My R300 came today! Very nice improvement in my dialog and a much more cohesive sound stage (just a 3.1 setup) for the living room setup.

    @Sean_PolkAudio
    Is there a way to order and delay shipping? This is a great deal but during the holidays I will be traveling and probably won't be home when these would be delivered.

    My 900's were shipped Fedex. A while back I could redirect to a local pick-up point, free, but fairly recently they changed to a surcharge. Just discovered they offer a "Vacation Hold" up to 14 days if you have an account and it will be applied for all deliveries to your address. Don't remember seeing this in the past. Holiday thing?

    Nothing back yet. Here is a screenshot of the order I placed on Monday when the code was still active. And this is the same order I placed on Sunday that didn't go thru. I E-mailed bot of these screenshots to customer service but they haven't got back with me yet.

    Below that is a screenshot of the PayPal payment that is "Pending".

    I wish I realized that the 10% code was stackable when I ordered. Next time I won't forget.

    BTW. Does Polk provide good discounts like this regularly (i.e. extra deep discount for members only). Is following this forum (The Clubhouse) the best way to find out about "special sales?"

    My L600's arrived today. I had them shipped to work since it's just easier. Easier paperwork/physically being there, but I still have to get them home. They came freight on a pallet. I didn't think about how much size the boxes and the packing add. They should fit in the girlfriends Escape.

    We have a serious storm brewing tomorrow through Saturday. At work they will stay unless Saturday the mess from the snow storm is cleaned up.

    I haven't even moved the 1C's out yet. Not sure where I can store them. I didn't expect to get these before X-mas so I'm a bit unprepared.

    Super fast shipping. One of my boxes has a huge gash/tear in the side. Hope there's no damage.

    I'll be rocking them before New Years for sure.

    Thanks again to Polk Audio for such a great 50th anniversary sale.

    The 10% wasn't a Polk advertised additional discount openly intended for stacking. The speakers were already on sale in addition to the discounts offered, so, deeply discounted to begin with,and it was sort of a loophole.

    I posted that tip intending to subtly share what may have been an oversight to serve as an added incentive for established members and serious new Polk fans who may possibly have been on the fence. It wasn't meant to be exploitive.

    Glad for everyone who got in on the generous Polk offered promo, w/or w/out the additional 10. There were some nice speakers offered this promo. The L and R series are definitely the best speakers Polk has released in at least the past 8 years. Should be some solid new followers, and hopefully some new forum members to hang [with], learn and contribute to the community, and argue about toe-in.

    Any chance of turning this back on? ;) Between sick kids and trades in the house, I've missed an amazing opportunity to join the Polk crew. Would really like to put a full Reserve kit under the tree this year. Been beating myself up for days...

    That was fast!!!

    At checkout it showed Free Ground Shipping (auto populated), and then it also had Free Expedited 1-3 Day shipping which turned out to be FedEx Express Saver. Why not select the faster option?

    I hope there’s some that have purchased the L800’s also have SDA SRS’s in their stable.
    Would really like to hear their take on the new SDA version vs the originals.

    Read nooshin’s thread of his L800’s compared to his 1.2TL’s.
    A good read, no hold’s barred and honest.

    Congrats to all who were able to take advantage of Polk’s sale…

    Well the 1.2tl's were better than the original SRS SDA sooooo, I believe you already have your answer.

    Was thinking more along the lines of the 1.2tl & modified 1.2tl's.
    Not which is better but a comparison would be nice...

    My L800’s arrived today. Thankfully, they arrived after the blizzard. In fact, I had to plow snow so that I could use a hand cart to get them from the semi-truck to the house. The boxes had some snow on top when they came out of the truck, not sure where that came from but they were in Chicago yesterday so maybe somewhere along the line they were transferred during the blizzard. . Didn’t appear at first glance that the boxes were damaged tho, which if indeed not damaged is a relief. Both boxes were wrapped together on a pallet. Won’t be able to unbox today, but hopefully after a day or two of power squat sessions I’ll be able to he-man these beeches into the system. It’s going to be a good time for me to get a bit of cable organizing too. As an aside, I told the truck driver he should take a video of me pushing the hand cart with the monolithic boxes down the long snow covered post-blizzard apocalypto driveway and to the front door. Now that probably would’ve been pretty funny. His only response, however, was to say in a quaint Eb from Green Acres kinda way, “Well, at least it’s sort of hard-packed!” Then he snorted like that hillbilly in Deliverance right after he said You got a purty mouf. I avoided all eye contact and yelled “Those Packers sure played special yesterday, didn’t they?” as I closed the front door.

    ^ Dang sweet to know they get deliveries completed even when weather’s at it’s worst.
    Enjoy your speakers.
    Looking forward to your impressions.

    I got a FedEx tracking number for each L800 on the 19th but no pickup from the warehouse yet. Not unexpected given the weather's negative impact on shipments and airline travel. Tis the season.

    Edit: five minutes after posting a freight company called me to arrange delivery tomorrow. No FedEx involved.

    Yeah, those boxes are massive. They're even bigger once you get them inside the house.
    Wait 'til you start opening them. That carton engineer is a genius. Be sure to leave yourself a trail of bread crumbs so you can get back out of the box again once you make your way in.

    Ain't that the truth. I kept mine and found a way to origami one box inside another. Waited out making sure we wouldn't move this past year and now I'm in the clear, so will recycle them and free up, like, half my basement storage! LOL

    My L600's arrived last Wednesday at work. Way faster than I expected. I had them shipped to work because of Winter and convenience. Well, Thursday the storm hit so I left them at work until it was safer to bring them home and manhandle them into the house. That was tonight.

    The fricking boxes are huge. Nice large chunks of styrofoam on the ends and a so-so sized one that is like a collar around the outside of the speaker in the middle. The rest of the space inside the box is wide open and fair game for damage..........I think you can see where I'm going with this.

    These were shrink wrapped in colored plastic to a pallet. When FedEx freight was there I tried to unwrap to inspect. He told me he needed a pic before I unwrapped the speakers. Well he couldn't stick around to see me unwrap and after I unwrapped and moved them off the pallet I noticed a huge gash/opening in the side of the box, right below the center. Looked to me like a fork lift missed it's mark. All I could do is hope.

    I opened the box tonight to remove the speaker and before I even looked at the speaker the inner plastic wrap had a tear and so did the cotton sleeve these are packed in. And a couple small horizontal scratches on the speaker. I am a bit pissed about it. I remember when companies actually put solid cardboard 4" thick around the entire speaker.

    I really don't want to return a damaged speaker, these are behemoths and will be a real PITA to pack up and ship back and then have to get another one in the house on the snow and ice. I will contact Polk in the morning. I haven't heard/read great things about the customer service these days. I'd rather take a dollar credit as the scratches are on the back of the speaker and are light enough I could live with it for a credit.

    The carton engineer should have added 4" padding around the entire speaker. All that dead space is asking for trouble. My one speaker had trouble. Less origami and more protection please!
