    My first pair of Polk speakers were Lsi9 bookshelves. I was upgrading from Bose 301 series v, and boy was it an upgrade! I heard the music like I never had before and pretty soon I was itching for other upgrades - the amp was next. After several years I upgraded to the new flagship line of Lsim703s. Then when I had more room I got the 705s which is what I’m still enjoying today. I’d really like to hear the legend 800s (or any other legend speakers) and hope that Polk will have a new Legend level flagship line soon!

    One of the things I admired most about both Polk and Carver, was the way that Matt and Bob forged their own paths while seemingly flipping off the Hi-Fi establishment and audiophile snobs of the day by building high quality and affordable stuff that punched well above their class, giving great value and great sound to those of us that drank beer with our music instead of Cognac or brandy.

    Even if it was 50/50, I would still lose 90 percent of the time! :D

    very secretive... they must be contacting their lawyer to make sure no unknown "close relatives" show up to claim the speakers for them.
    Not me either -- but it still is a very cool prize!

    The rules had a bunch of conditions and things to sign for the winner to prove eligibility. However, the rules also said they would announce the winner (not me) on Friday. That obviously didn't happen. I think they are trying to figure some things out as they go.

    Excellent choice! Congratulations!!!
    PS I would think that being an @agingboomer would be almost a prerequisite for eligibility.

    I'm not convinced, there, Botty McBottersen.
