These new POLK LSiM's look tempting


I read on Polk forum the top line towers will run $4,000/pr. Due out in early 2011. I'm looking forward to the reviews. Very attractive looking.

I heard the new Polks at both LSAF and RMAF ... both times they were very thick and muddy sounding, bass was WAY out of balance with the rest of the spectrum. I guess if you like that kind of the sound you'll like the Polks. If you like balance though, look elsewhere.
Vapor, I don't buy in too what your saying. You must be with the anti-Polk camp. Way out of balance with the rest of the spectrum? Baloney! Polk's recent merger with Defined Electronic's who also owns DefTech, makes them the largest speaker company in the U.S. Polk has several anechoic chambers and has the most advanced high tech R&D lab in the country for speaker design. The driver's used went through 16 month's of research and design before production. The upgraded race track woofer is an original Polk design that Polk manufacture's for DefTech's Mythos speaker's, since the Deftech President, Sandy Gross, was a co-founder and Partner in Polk. The 707 speaker has a razor flat response and must be placed in a large rectangular room to avoid a standing wave problem since they go very deep down to 20Hz and need to burn in for 100 hours. What Polk has achieved with the 707's for $4K a pair
is a model that has all the best qualities of Wilson, KEF,
B&W and other best speakers up to to $40K a pair. If I were a principal in these companies, I'd be crappin my pants over the 707'S. Polk has finally after 39 years, designed a true Audiophile high end speaker that has it all at a ridiculous price of $4K. The new midnight mahogany finish is gorgeous. Polk offer's a 30 day money back guaranty if your not satisfied with the performance.
