"Don't miss your chance for our "Legendary" Deal" I may have acctually got in on this deal. That's a lie I was done with Plook speakers before they fired me.

It's not a giveaway. If it was, I'd have L800's right now.
They offered something like a 50% discount and at the time it was compounded with a sale that got the price for a pair down to like $2K I think it was.
Right now it's $3K for a pair instead of $6K if you have the code.
So you still gotta pony up, just not as much.
I don't think much of the Legend series is selling at all. Probably because Polk's reputation was undeserved for a while. Then Sound United happened and they started making gimmicky bullshit without concern for quality control or customer service. So they fully lived up to the once undeserved reputation. Then they go and release stuff like the Legend series and charge $6K for a pair of modern SDAs with a straight face.
I haven't heard the L800 but if they are voiced similarly to the L200s then they are very unforgiving and can sound pretty much sterile on lesser equipment. You need quality power and lots of it to really drive them well.
Not that that's any different from older SDA models but there were light weights that were easy to drive like the 2Bs and CRS.
If they had done the Legend series instead back when they released the LSiMs, it'd be a very different story, I think.
But what do I know?

I know that it's not a giveaway. I was just making fun of that guy who has a giant glans penis where his head should be.

Do you still have to be a member of Club Pokey?

I was duped into the Elacs but at 1/2 off and reselling a heavy discounted brand is hard to do. I’m buying good resale items from now on. Parasound, Klipsch, Audioquest etc.
