    Polk R-300 - the difference a crossover makes

    Actually, you are right, and I am wrong. They do share the same midwoofer. My parts sheet is incorrect! I like the R30 over the 300, and the M20 over them both as far as the entry level models go. Cheers, Russ

    Polk R-300 - the difference a crossover makes

    Anytime Dennis, I've heard nothing but good things about you over the years. So, are you taking preorders? I just ship my crossovers out? ;) Cheers, Russ

    Polk R-300 - the difference a crossover makes

    Dennis, there is also the M20 that I linked to. (and can also be found at rediculously low sale prices on occasion) It's a styling option for Joe Consumer. Chances are he is going to be a good 5-10db deep in tone controls, loudness contouring, and dsp's etc etc. Is that an excuse for the...

    Polk R-300 - the difference a crossover makes

    Actually, the R30 and R300 don't share the same midwoofer. They aren't worlds apart mind you (very similar mechanical and electrical specs), but they are different drivers. The new R series and M series were complete re-designs for the entry level market. Cheers, Russ

    Usher Audio S-520 Bookshelf Speaker Review

    Mark is using them in a hardcore 2ch setup. I got a pair in Silver, I chose a color that I didn't want, just to force myself to try something different. The fit and finish is outstanding. I've only had mine running for about 20 hours so far, so I'll reserve commenting on the sound until...

    Polk R-300 - the difference a crossover makes

    The R30 is oop. The R300 is it's direct replacement. You have two models now in the R series, and the new M series. They are made for different retail establishments, but for all intents and purposes identical in performance - the cosmetics and driver layout are changed to cater to different...

    The Raconteurs

    Icky Thump is a great follow up to Get Behind Me Satan, both very good albums. A little off the beaten path, but be sure to check out Loretta Lynn's "Van Lear Rose". Jack White not only produced the album, but played lead guitar on it as well. "Portland Oregon" is a great duet with Loretta...

    Polk subwoofer

    For $200 or so, you aren't going to be able to buy a subwoofer. You are going to get a woofer in a box, with an amp, period. With your setup, a PSW10 or 12 (if you can find them at your pricepoint) will fill out the low end quite nicely. All Polk subs are rated (measured) in an anehoic...

    Speaker wiring

    At your pricepoint, your speaker wire should be 14 or 16/2 lamp cord. Not HD or Lowes speaker wire, straight lamp cord. You won't notice a difference with your setup, unless you want to drop down substantially more wampum. As far as interconnects go, try entry level AR, Dayton, or Signal...

    If you had $750 for a sub what would you buy?

    Thanks for the laugh Cochise. Yam sub? That's funny. A couple of words come to mind regarding Yammie subs, boomy, muddy, sloppy. If I want a Piano or Trombone, I'll head straight for my Yammie dealer. Audio? Not in this lifetime. There are a couple things Yamaha did right, a few studio...

    Polk versus Paradigm

    Have you listened to either? Between Polk RTi and P-dime Monitor series, my preference would be the Polks, hands down. If you have a 'live' room, you can tame it with an area rug, window / wall treatments, etc. Cheers, Russ

    If you had $750 for a sub what would you buy?

    HSU/SVS offer a near unbeatable price/perf ratio. If you like P-dime, save up and go big or go home, Servo-15. The Dayton Titanic Kits at PE are a viable option also. Have you conidered DIY? Cheers, Russ
