    The Monitor 7 retro will be a waterproof bluetooth speaker about the size of an alarm clock with a hook so you can hang it from the chain around your neck. It will change the way the world listens to music.

    Now lets talk about a retro/modern take on the Monitor 7! :)
    Wharfie... I mean Wharfedale did it! And they didn't even spring for a real passive radiator, nor contract with ContactPaper for some bespoke vinyl covering (or wrap, as they say nowadays)!

    I appreciate that Polk keeps this forum alive for us, but I truly don't know why they even bother having someone poke their head in when they get a new marketing VP.

    At least Carl introduced himself as a human and tried to engage for a bit.

    If you hold your breath until you pass out, you'll start breathing again.

    I actually heard this very setup playing vinyl and R2R. Spoiler alert: It didn't sound good, and was also being played way too loudly.

    Completely underwhelming and didn't even come close to what true hifi is capable of, in my opinion.

    Clinked on the link and that R2R looks like it's half the size of a Pinto.
    Maybe the angle of the photo?
