these aren't your normal Polks, Pete

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Yes, I am pretty familiar with Polk Audio, having bought my first speakers (Monitor 7A's) at Soundscape, Polk's first dealer, in 1978.
These things were the beginning of Polk's long, strange trip... built to use up a passel of small fullrange drivers originally sourced to make Bose 901 clones.
The original Nines don't have such a great reputation :-) I think the Peerless KO10DT probably makes the difference in the 9A.
The "imaging" thing, though, is something Polk didn't get involved with again until the SDA speakers quite a while later.

all the best,
