    Really don't understand why Polk didn't remake the CRS when the Legend line came out.

    They originally planned to do a CRS+ size and a floor stander about the size of the 1C. I don't know for sure why they didn't, but I suspect it had something to do with the angled baffle BS.

    Or it had something to do with the new owners not having a clue. "Just put out a bigger soundbar" mentality.

    Just got an email. My boards are done after some tuning....
