Personally whether it's TOS or TNG doesn't matter (though I prefer TOS), 
but I thought a TOS substitute would get your attention.  BTW I just 
listened to MCA's Quad on a pair of Polk RTA 11's and came away with a 
serious headache.  My current speakers have cone tweeters so you don't get 
that "shrillness" which makes the MCA Quad very listenable. However on 
these Polk's it was barely tolerable, and I would never have figured that 
the difference would be THAT great.  Also the sound was very hollow, 
something I hadn't found on my system.  A counter argument could be that 
Polk's aren't worth their price and lack the imaging found in better 
speakers for a similar cost.  I'm probably going to end up keeping the 
Polydor and giving a friend my MCA for a case of Molson golden.  If 
Poly's Quad is an improvement, I'm going to buy the Poly Sell Out for 
comparison.

True, and that is why I didn't place an advance order.  But they claim 
that this is the first time they've received something more than just 
word of mouth.
