    43' Kind of reminds me of that scene in This Is Spinal Tap. They draw up the Stone Henge figures on a napkin and they are a bit out of scale. Opposite effect, of course. Even the midgets tower above the "stones". Laughed my **** off.

    I emailed this guy, heres my questioned:

    Hello,

    Please let me know if you change the Original
    x'over of these RTA's and what happened to the SL3000
    tweeters that came with it.

    Polk Audio designed this model with SL3000's tweeters...

    Please reply me ASAP. I really want to know. I appreciate
    your input.

    Regards,
    Har


    Heres the answer:

    thanks for checking out my auction...thanks for the info..you are correct...i am
    not the original owner of these speakers and the original owner did change them
    to my surprise when i checked last nite..thanks and i will have to add that to
    the description...sorry it took so long to get back to you but i fried my
    computer last nite due to stupidity and am currently replacing some parts to get
    it back up and running..i had to borrow a laptop and i did not get it till about
    an hr ago...
    regards

    Maybe adding the horns is the equivalent of adding
    an "11" to the volume dial on an amp...

    "Klilk" would be a nice symetrical name for the JV... could even turn the last "K" around and capitalize it :cool:

    "Polklipsh" sounds too ethnic...

    He closed the auction early. I'll bet he realized that no one was going to buy them.
