Well after 10 years I decided to return to the Polk forum. Hope to reconnect with some old friends and connect with some new ones. I still own my awesome vintage Polks and probably always will. They are "keepers".

I hadn't really thought about the forum a whole lot over the years after a short withdrawl period but always planned to come back some day. I have more time now so it seemed like a good time to return. I always valued everyone's contributions on technical issues. They helped me get my system together and improve it too. I'm on a couple other audio forums but since I am a Polk fan, this one was the relevent.

I look forward to hanging with y'all again.

    I had to register under a new name because my old one was marked as "Banned", even though I wasn't kicked-off, I quit. They said it was too hard to un-ban me and told me to just re-register under a new name.

    Welcome back… but what was your old pseudo, because I don’t recognize the one you’re using today.

    So he was impeached?

    Seriously had no idea it was permanent.
    Since we don’t know where we are going we have to stick together in case someone gets there….Ken Kesey.

    Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper REALLY likes you.

    And the boots you lick will stomp you too.

    Well if you were here back then you might remember me.

    I'm one of the SRT enthusiasts and still have my SRT system (just finished listening to music earlier this evening). I still love them. They are so awesome for both home theater and music. I had a friend over who had never heard them before and he was definitely impressed. Once I cranked up Aerosmith "Mama Kin" to earth-shaking seismic level, his jaw dropped. Truly "Performance Without Limits" as Matthew Polk said.

    My other interests/hobbies include...
    • Modern Instrumental Surf Music (Avid Collector)
    • Pinball Machines
    • Mini Bikes
    • Pro Street Cars

    I tried to rejoin the forum earlier this year and sent an email to Ken Carter but got no response. Is he still involved with the forum? Then a couple days ago I called the Polk customer service line and they got me back online.

    I’ve been following this forum for twenty years.

    There’s only Ken Swauger around these days AFAIK. He uses the pseudonym “SeleniumFalcon”.

    “Ryan_Polk” is the resident super-moderator.

    The Kens in question are not the same individuals.

    Yeah the last time I communicated with Ken Carter was in 2017. He was in charge of the forum back then.

    Is Ryan_Polk a real "Polk"? As-in is he related to Matthew?

    No. No relation. That is just his handle on the forum as an employee. He seems to be in charge of moderation etc. these days. Just put an “@“ in front of that handle, with the underscore, and you can message him when necessary.

    Don’t forget that Polk and Sound United are now part of Harman International and the Samsung empire. They purchased Polk (and other Sound United brands) from Massimo just over a year ago.

    It's hard to forget when I never knew that in the first place. Thanks for filling me in on the latest aquisitions. It's hard to keep track of them all nowadays.
