any experience with Polymer Audio Research speaker


I just discovered the Polymer Audio webpage, and saw their recent ad in Absolute sound, but have never heard their products. Design certainly looks appealing, but wondering if others have actually heard this line, and can share opinions. They are made here in USA, in south Florida. There were comments about this brand here back in 2008, but nothing since...hummm

Polymer Audio will be showing at AXPONA with FM Acoustics. Anyone going to the show will be able to hear a very impressive demo.
Was not able to attend THE show last week in Newport. I know that polymer showed with FM acoustic and Weiss. If anyone heard this room, please share your thoughts on the sound, build quality, and what it compared to, please.
No one has posted yet on the standout rooms at the show yet as well.love to hear opinions on what was good.
Thanks
Peter Breuninger has a video tour of their room and an interview with the designer posted at AVShowrooms
Listened to them at Axpona this past April. IMO, they were one of the worst sounding Room at the show. Several people commented that they were on the 10 rooms to avoid list.

I think it must have been the show conditions, or equipment combination they used. I listened to one song and was mightily disappointed.
A friend of mine owns a pair of the MKS-X's. I've heard them 6 or 7 times. For their $60,000 retail price, I can think of a million speakers I would rather own. They aren't my cup of tea at all.

That being said, the tweeter is very smooth, but the bass is muddy and undefined and also boomy and problematic in his room (his previous speakers were not). The bass issues also cloud up the midrange.

The speakers are also very tiny and vertical imaging is low. If you listen to the YouTube video above (which show the model MKS-X - the same one my friend has), you can hear some serious cabinet resonances. I am by no means a speaker designer, but IMHO, the speakers are physically small, and may have the drivers too close together.

IMHO, a speaker like the Revel Salon 2 or Magico S3/S5 bury the Polymers, are backed by large companies with lots of R&D and strong warranty and will save you $30,000 - $40,000 to boot. In the case of the Salon 2's, they also offer adjustability on the speaker to dial into almost any rooms.

As with everything, YMMV.
