Polk Audio Inc. - Tour Group

[dorokusai]

Hello,

How many of you would be interested in having a tour of Polk Audio HQ?

F1Nut and myself are planning on going in AUGUST, we havn't nailed a date down, because we thought this event would also be of interest to the forum.

What dates work for you guys? Please only really interested parties respond, this could be a logistical nightmare and I would like to have it go as smoothly as possible.

Micah has been contacted, and promises a snag free demo in the bonafide Polk Audio demo room. Further details will be posted, I just wanted to get this started asap.

I am offering 100% assistance in obtaining local information for travel, lodging and what have you. We could stage in Damascus, Maryland, at my house, then pack up and get our travel on. I have room for 2 more people in my car, I am not sure if F1(Jesse) is coming with me or driving, so as it stands he's in. I will provide food and refreshments for the trip or before, however you guys decide. Afterwards a big meal in Baltimore Inner Harbor should cap the day off.

There are a couple suprises in store, so figure it out Polk forum and let me know. Contact me directly if you wish, dorokusai@comcast.net

Thanks for looking.

HEY, POLKHEADS WAKE UP!!!

This is a great opportunity to visit the fatherland, so let's get the ball rolling. Contact Mark (dorokusai) or Jesse (F1nut) ASAP.

[Ron-P]

Micah will also be giving out a 12-pack of gold toes (new) to the first 5 visitors.


Peace Out~:D

[dorokusai]

Demo will include selections from the LSi line and the *NEW* RTi line of speakers.

Ron P - LOL, that would be comfortable tho' to walk around in socks. :)

I wish I had more free time. I'd go if it weren't for that. It'd be about a half day's drive to get down to Maryland from where I live in PA, I think.

Nadams - Come on down man! Tell work that you have better things to do with your time :)

Seriously, keep it in your head, when we set a date, try and visit with us.

[ken brydson]

Man, I wish I was 1/2 a days drive away. I'd be there in a heartbeat! Unfortunately, I'm about as far away as you can get and still be in the continental US:(

Maybe I can figure out how to make it a business trip. Hmm:D

[dorokusai]

Ken - You could use the old standby....family problem/crisis :)

My wife would NEVER believe that ;)

[dorokusai]

Ken - I hear ya'

How about....honey.....when I was younger, this girl had my child.....I just never mentioned it....

On second thought, that may get you killed :)

[ken brydson]

I used that one before and it worked. But how many little bastard children is she going to believe are mine? KIDDING!!!

Seriously though I'll be following this thread so when you come up with a date I may be able to work something out.
BIG longshot but possible........

[Zero]

Will be there late July..

[warlocks1]

I live in No. VA and would love to take the tour. Please keep me posted and I will be there. Thanks, Jeff Email: Warlocks1@aol.com

[TroyD]

Guys.....visiting Polk is a GREAT time. Even the lovely Wendi enjoyed herself immensely........

What timeframe are you guys looking at??

BDT

[dorokusai]

Warlock - I will keep you posted. You fairly open for the month of August?

Troy - Haven't set an exact date yet, but probably 3rd week in August is looking good. I am giddy :)

[TonyPTX]

Sounds like a great trip. However I just came back from a NJ/NYC trip about 2 weeks ago and don't forsee myself heading back up north for a while.

Anthony

[TroyD]

I'm traveling to Maine at the end of August, if we got lucky and the dates worked out.....who knows?

BDT

[dorokusai]

Tony - Just say you forgot something....and you will be back in a couple days :)

Troy - When in August? Email me if you wish.

[dorokusai]

ATC- I found out that you were going earlier, have a good time up there :)

[dcarlson]

Too far south for me. :(

[VR3]

Dang you all! Why couldnt this mess happened when i was up there????

[Tomasz]

What are you guys planning on doing here?? Besides walk around and see the offices. I hope you are aware that the Baltimore one is corp. office and not the factory or distribution warehouse. Let me know maybe it's more interesting then I would have imagined.

[dorokusai]

We are doing that and getting demo time in the official Polk Audio demo room, with LSi's and the new RTi's. Justin and Paul will be around to meet and greet....perhaps a couple neat suprises in store.

[F1nut]

Tomasz,

With all due respect, if you have to ask why........ it's probably not for you.

[madmax]

Seriously,
Even the "offices" are cool at polk. As you make the maze from one place to the next there are weird speaker designs sitting all over the place. You may even accidentally see a new top secret design on someones monitor. (they will obviously have to end your existence if that happens). Totally cool experience.
madmax

EDIT: If I go again I'll take my SDA 1.2's and get Matt Polk to autograph the sides... :D

[dorokusai]

Max - We can load them things into Jesse's van and make that happen man!

Jesse - Oh by the way we are using your van, see above.....lol

Too far south for me.

I've been in DC twice and was planning this year to go down to
N.J and Va but I don't know when exactly or even if i'll be going.

Jesse, I don't know yet.

Chuck, get Matt Polk to autograph the sides? what side...on the
panel trim? if yes...then take it a part and bring that panel
alone;) you don't need to bring the whole speakers:D

[dorokusai]

Har - Truly try and get down here, we would love to crawl in your ears about SDA/SRS stuff. :)
