"At this moment I'm listening to "Santana". Am I listening to music?"Absolutely!! (sorry shakey, I just can't help it.)Santana will always have a special place with me. Reminds me of the good times at places like the MEXICANA bar in Frankfurt, Ger...

At one time what we call 'classical' music was the 'popular' music. It's now called classical because it has stood the test of time. That is the ultimate measure of any music, does it last! A good thing to look for is, what music do they use in th...

Just watched a piece on the BBC about an Afghan Youth Orchestra touring the USA. They played at Lincoln center. Very poignant to see young people, esp the girls, risk their lives to play and listen to music. No music lovers among the taliban!! Put...

They are not 'audiophile' speakers. They are speakers for enjoying music. Maybe that's the disconnect here.I think 'audiophiles' listen to test tones or pink/white noise. Or, maybe you didn't like the polks because you had the wrong speaker cable....

Shakey:I have noticed that you never actually answer questions, or add anything to the discussion. Maybe you should try that 'speaking in absolutes', this site could use a lot more of it.It is apparent that you did not, or will not try to, underst...

Why all the anti-Polk hysteria? Maybe some of the more rational and knowledgeable members could weigh in on this phenomena. The answer has to include something UNIQUE to Polk. No other brands elicits such a visceral reaction. Hell, even YORK gets ...
