    Your March 16 th post regarding the Ethernet network switch was very informative, I was so impressed with the Lumin u2 out the gate that I went for a LHY as6 to try with the sfp fibre optic kit , it’s a long trip from China and another week till it lands.
    They say 300 hours for burn in for the Lumin and switch. I’ve done 145 hrs on the Lumin to date ❤️and the duelund monoliths love it !

    I'm good. Busy here too. Glad to see the crocs didnt get ya. I sent a few PM long while back checking on you.

    Between Fathers Day weekend, then Daughters Bday weekend, then car shopping weekend, I finally got to hear these in full blown SDA with the dreadnaught wire-nutted. I still need to get to the shop and build a shorter dreadnaught case.

    I can see why some would consider these end-game Polks. If you know, you know...

    For me, these tweeters are surely end-game Polk drivers.... I'll have to build another set for the 8TLs too.

    Good job. I'm like that Beggin Strips dog with bacon. Go to breakfast, extra bacon, eight slices minimum. Get a burger, extra bacon. Hide the burger. I cook bacon outside on the grill. Lots of shrinkage and sampling. Take three pounds out come in with one.

    Exquisite. Perfect. This is simply amazing…

    I used to spend time on this forum and have a pair of CRS+ with internal mods from MSS/Dave that I just pulled out after many years in storage.

    Listening to them has me BACK and now I’m totally inspired but lack the hands to even do a basic re-veneer.

    I have the OEM stands and will give them to anyone who is doing a mod like this for free should they want to cut them down or use them.

    So f cool.

    Thank you. These CRS+ do it all with finesse. I'm content (for now) having them on the wall stand with 2" thick foam pads for a little extra height. All my spare shop activity is now dedicated to a 1-off @VSAT88 inspired WOPL-400 build with XS resto-mod goodies to power these jewels next.

    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....

    I see that last stack you smoked hasn't worn off.
