Polk Legend L800 at RMAF?

 I heard them yesterday at an opening event for the new line. I think the school bus seating is so you can here from the center the sound extending across the whole listening area. However they had crappy electronics hooked up which surprised me and the speakers did not seem very coherent, not much control over the woofers and overall a congested sound.
 When I commented to the Polk rep why they chose to use an a/v receiver his comment was “this receiver is 140w a channel and that can handle anything”. Yes but there are good watts and bad. Sad because the store had Luxman integrated units and a Naim set-up in the same room. Now that may have given the big Polks better sound.
 However in another room they had the new bookshelf speakers powered by the same receiver and I was more impressed with those monitors than the big L800 speakers

Thanks for your thoughts trknomo.
I can't believe they chose an AV receiver for the demo you attended. I'm beginning to wonder if they really see their TOTL speaker as a home theater offering with 2-channel as a secondary consideration.

They're not extremely efficient (although I'm not bothered by the specs), so it's surprising they wouldn't choose the other power options sitting nearby...or even separates.

I haven't considered Polk for my home use...until now. For some reason, I'm curious about this pair, but it seems the field reps are dropping the ball during demos.
Given the negatives you mention, did you happen to try and sit outside of the sweet spot?

@yakbob Yes  actually did step out of the center of the speakers sweet spot and they sounded good off axis. I stood up, squatted down and the sound was pretty consistent. The rep said they should be on select dealers showroom floors Nov 1st. So a better private audition with better sources will be interesting to hear. 

Thanks for the additional information,  I plan to set up a demo with my closest dealer the next state over for early November. Cheers!

I Have a pair of these black new in the box if u guys know anyone interested , I am located in Pennsylvania .
