Isiberian you seem anti-polk,which is fine but till I've heard them I'm not going to judge. I had a HT set of kef's before this,the new Q's with the q900 and q600 w/q800's surrounds,and it was awsome. At the time I was shopping for them the polks were also in consideration and now that I'm getting new speakers I thought I'd give them a shot. If I'm not 100% happy I may get the new R series, or the PSB image 6...but that's only if I'm not satisfied. One thing about speakers is they are totally subjective,well mostly anyway, so what sounds great to one,will grate on anothers ears. Appreciate all feedback btw, getting others opinions is really helpful. Are there any other amps out there in the price range of emotiva and equal quality?
