Maryland Polkfest - Surround Bar Demos

[RuSsMaN]

Those that attended, still have the option of demoing a Surroundbar in house. I have it right now - who wants it next? I plan to get it to the next member, in the next couple of days so SPEAK up.

If there is a formal list already, I'm not privy to it, so let me know.

Cheers,
Russ

[RuSsMaN]

[Jstas]

Is this the SurroundBar from PolkFest '05 that we saw at Polk Audio HQ?

[RuSsMaN]

The exact unit, no - the Surroundbar demo, same product, yes.

[hoosier21]

[reeltrouble1]

Sure I would like to give it demo at the house.

I think we need to make a list for this.

I wanted in on it, but I found one and have it, so I don't need to now.(what did I just say??)

I'd like a chance to demo it too. I think it would work great for my parents but I don't have the cash to pay Crutchfield the money to get it and see if it fits thier space well enough.

just checking in.. did Russ (Hoosier21) get the SurroundBar? is this like past demo's.. whereby a person demo's it in their home for 2 weeks and then ships it to the next person on the list?

[RuSsMaN]

It's sitting by the front door, I'll ship it as soon as I get back from San Diego - I got side tracked with the whole Charlie thing, but things are starting to settle down a little finally.

Cheers,
Russ

[danger boy]

cool.. i'm down on the list.. so i'll be a while before it's my turn with the SurroundBar, anyways. but thanks. for the update.

[Mazeroth]

Not quite sure how I missed this thread, but if it's not too late, add me to the list, please. If it is, no worries.

As of 8 21 06, I have not seen it yet. Russman just can't let it go.

[hoosier21]

Just a quick update, I got this speaker Friday last week, have it hooked up and using it for all our TV viewing, both the regular programs and any DVD viewing. I want to give some more listening through the weekend and will pack it up for the next person. According to the list above that would be Ohskigod. Correct me if I am wrong.

[hoosier21]

Forgot about this thread, I handed this off to ohskigod at the PF 2006.

Looks like Reeltrouble1 is next after ohskigod.

[Schwingding]

May I get on this list, too please? I live in Glen Arm, not far from Towson.

[RuSsMaN]

Not to be a creep, but this is a 'bonus' to those who attended Polkfest in Maryland, not just an open demo.

Cheers,
Russ

Well creep was only one word I was going to use... :p

true.. rulz is rulz. ;)

[reeltrouble1]

yes, I feel creepy all over, I need my meds.

RT1

That was the stipulaiton on the demo.

[Schwingding]

Does that make you feel special somehow? What if we weren't around here for the Md. Polkfest? What if our enjoyment of Polk speakers only recently brought us here to this forum? What if we've only been a loyal Polk audio products owner for a measly nearly 20 years?

Can't I feel special, too?

[RuSsMaN]

I didn't set the rules, Polk did. Yes, not only do I feel special - I AM special. I know because my mommy told me so.

We just finished a meet in South Carolina, I think next year will be in Jersey - maybe you can make that one? See you there broham.

Cheers,
Russ

[Schwingding]

Thanks Russ. Sorry, just feeling a little testy.

[danger boy]

OK. who's hogging the SurroundBar demo? :mad: :p

[RuSsMaN]

I think big Lou has it.

[ohskigod]

yeah, its boxed up and ready to go, I pm'd a couple folks because I remember someone telling me there is a shipping account to use, but I have no idea what it is.

certainly my fault for not following on it. its in my storage area boxed up for safe keeping, and since I dont see it, I forgot about it.

whoops.

is there a shipping account to use, or should I just ship it UPS to the next guy (who is next again?)

[danger boy]

Lou,

Looks like Ted (RT1) is next up for the SurroundBar demo. PM or email Russ for the shipping details if you haven't already communicated with him.

[beardog03]

I thought about tossing into the ring, but Polk may have a newer version before it actually makes it here..!!!

J/K fellas....enjoy !

[danger boy]

Have a nice day! :)

[warlocks1]

Where is the surround bar now-a-days?

[hearingimpared]

Where is the surround bar now-a-days?

In my living room! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I bought it!!!!

[dorokusai]

Who has the Surround Bar?

[danger boy]

no one seems to know or fess up...

[dorokusai]

I would hope someone does as I'd like to be able to use it someday.

[reeltrouble1]

Well, I think Danger Boy has it, its just a ploy by him to hold onto it to keep asking where it is. Pretty smart Al.

I last saw it at a FEDEX station in early April.

RT1

[danger boy]

i got the SurroundBar about a week and a half ago.. but i'm done with the demo.

how do i send it along to the next person on the list?

[RuSsMaN]

Contact warlocks, get his addy - I'll PM you the Fedex account number to send it on.

How is the box / packing material holding up by the way?

Cheers,
Russ

[dorokusai]

Polk hooked us up with brand new packaging.

[Shannon W.]

Id Like to demo.

Shannon

[hoosier21]

Shannon, read back a few posts, it is being passed araound to those who attended Polkfest 05, sorry, we did not make the rules, Polk did.

[danger boy]

[warlocks1]

I can't believe I am actually going to listen to this. Mark, I should be done with the demo in about 6 months! I can keep it longer if you want.

Thanks, Jeff

[Shannon W.]
