In Reply to: Is old Polk better than newer Polk? (Monitor 10 era) posted by 6 Meters DX on November 5, 2009 at 10:27:53:
I think they stacked-up better against the competition back then. They never were tops but were very respectable designs at reasonable prices for the performance afforded. I have owned the Monitor 7, Monitor 10, Monitor 10B, Monitor 11 (pretty rare I suppose) and have taken some of these in on trade as well. I have repaired some large SDA 1B units. I had to study the crossovers in order to make-up a custom interconnecting cable to replace the original which was lost. The quality of the newer units doesn't compare despite some small technical innovations. Most improvements since those earlier years have been to improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce materials, and otherwise lower their costs. Still, they offer today better performance and value than many other similarly priced or cheaper systems. Their popularity over the last decade has inflated their price beyond their value, that however is not unique in mass market electronics.
