My only issue was with the softness in the bass department which is one of the best aspects of the Polk loudspeakers. The Ragnarok 2 integrated amplifier did a lot of things really well with the L100. It sounded great within its limitations, but the Polk loudspeakers needed more power. The Ragnarok 2 makes the most sense from a budgetary perspective but I found that it didn’t have the grunt to drive the L100 well enough. To put together the best possible system around these excellent loudspeakers, I drove them with the following: Cambridge Audio Edge A, Rotel Michi X3 (reviewed here), and Schiit Audio Ragnarok 2 integrated amplifiers. For more detail, check out our Polk Audio Legend L100 review here.The real wood veneer and hand polished baffle only add to the overall feeling that you’ve purchased a much more expensive loudspeaker for only $999/pair. You can feel the quality of the construction when you give the loudspeakers a solid tap. The L100 cabinet is constructed of MDF that varies in thickness from 1″ to 1.5″ and is extensively braced. Let’s be clear – 70 watts of Class AB power. The L100 are rated at 85 dB (4 ohms) and Polk recommends a minimum of 70 watts/channel with them. I must confess that I’ve read some reviews that suggested that you can get away with 100 watts of power from “streaming amplifiers” – and become very confused. I mentioned at the beginning that the Polk Audio L100 need power. Three very unique pieces of engineering, but do they work?

The Turbine cone driver combines Polk’s proprietary foam core and the molded Turbine geometry which dramatically increases stiffness and damping. The ring radiator tweeter is set above a single 5.25-inch Turbine cone driver. Be careful around them and keep the kids away. You can find a link below to their technical details, but the Polk Audio L100 have one of the most interesting driver complements I’ve ever seen on a high-end bookshelf loudspeaker this affordable.Ĥ0 years of tweeter innovation, design and prototyping has led to the development of the new 1-inch Pinnacle ring radiator tweeter. One thing you will notice right away are the metallic tweeter spires that protrude outward from the radiator tweeter. Polk Audio don’t make high-end loudspeakers? Kudos to Stereophile, Sean of Zero Fidelity, and The Audiophiliac (Steve Guttenberg) for taking the time to give these excellent loudspeakers a fair shake.
#AUDIOBOOK BUILDER REDDIT SERIES#
Polk Audio announced the very impressive Legend Series and I’ve only seen a smattering of high-end publication reviews. I won’t even get into the politics of why magazines would pretend that the Klipsch Heritage loudspeakers stopped being audiophile-approved - but then suddenly there was an awakening with the release of the RP-600M, and every reviewer was willing to ditch everything for the opportunity to review the new Heresy IV, Forte III, or La Scala AL5. Polk Audio have been manufacturing high-end loudspeakers for over 40 years and very much like their rivals over at Klipsch Audio – they never stopped making high-end audio loudspeakers regardless of what some high-end audio magazine told you over the past decade.įor some reason, that I’m sure has to do with a very short-sighted business strategy (or sucking up to other manufacturers), high-end magazines decided for almost a decade that neither Klipsch Audio nor Polk Audio made high-end loudspeakers. There are definitely some interesting changes afoot in both Maryland and California with the company. It took some experimentation with power that some would deem unnatural (It’s going to be one of those columns) to get the Polk Audio L100 to really open up but when they did it was obvious that my initial anxiety about them was seriously misplaced.
#AUDIOBOOK BUILDER REDDIT SKIN#
Like a Sith Lord with a bad case of skin acne. If the Polk Audio L100 bookshelf loudspeakers have one flaw (and they don’t have very many), it is that they need power. If you feel the urge to scream that like Emperor Palpatine, I won’t get in your way. The nice thing with using Audnexus, is that it adds proper sort tags so that series show up in the proper order.ĮDIT 1: This was inspired by this Github post: ĮDIT 2: The App I use it called Audiobook Builder, not Audiobook Maker.Power. If you're not in the Apple ecosystem, I'm sure tools exist for steps 1 and 4. Prologue will give you all the features you expect from an audiobook player, remember playback position, speed up and slow down with pitch correction, and bookmarking.
