Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | I am pretty loose in the music department, although I prefer Rock and Alternative genre's. |
System Goals/Comments: | I have been piecing this system together for two years. I wanted to get the best that I could for my money, within reason. After two years, I am finally able to listen TO it, instead of just look AT it. I have many hands to thank for helping me get to this point. Soupbone (Tom), Rhyno(Ryan), Frank Dai (Signal Cable), Hoosier (Russ), Joe Abrams (MIT), Ken Swauger/ Micah Cohen (Polk Audio), Paul Lemanski (Adona Corporation) and my best friend Merganser ( Jesse)...without whom, I would have never discovered this amazing hobby. John Curl and Robert Crump have also been really helpful in compiling information for this amplifier, and the help is greatly appreciated. |
System Strengths: | I really love the clarity, and accuracy of these vintage Polk's. They have the updated tweeter, and the SDA effect is really quite nice on many recordings. I have auditioned ALOT of speakers, just for FYI, and I still enjoy these the best. Viva la Vintage! |
System Weaknesses: | Bass response is not as powerful as I would like. The speed and impact of it exists, and compliments everything involved, but there is nothing like bass that scares you, IMO. |

Comments on HT System: | I am very happy with my simple setup. I really enjoy movies, and the new SVS subwoofer, has shown me what I have been missing. |
