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

Some shocking comments about what may very well be the best loudspeaker ever made. I heard this system at Newport on the last day of the show and I was totally blown away. It was the best imaging and 3dimesnionality I ever experienced. It was actually the first system that I had ever heard where you can actually forget that you are listening to a system and it just draws you in deeper and deeper into the recorded event. I kept coming back to that room after visiting others and each time I went back there was this sense that I was not listening to electronics.

And everyone in the packed room agreed and I heard many remarks from other show goers how it was by far the best sound. How can people disagree so much about the same thing is certainly very strange.

I was told by the rep in the room that they had a major screw-up because the shipping company delivered the speakers late and so the system was only assembled long after the show started and the speakers were apparently brand new and never used. So perhaps only on the last day they were able to fully dial in the system. But you owe it yourself to audition these speakers under proper conditions, it is a total revelation and will challenge what you think is possible.
Keith: Newport did not have the MKS on display which is $42,000/pr. Polymer was showing the MKS-X which is a completely different speaker.
