I've had polk 5 * 7's before and they were pretty pathetic. I'm now using MTX 5*7's much better.

But whats this got to do with group buys?

I know Polk make pretty damn good 6.5" component speakers

Dont have experience with their 5x7s

Bugger 5x7's tho!

Make some spacers and get a good set of 6 or 6.5" components!

MB QUART! I love my MBQ's

They must buy huge amounts of stock to be able to cut their margins so much.......plus if they sell half their gear online, it cuts down on sales staff so isn't costing them as much to sell their goods.....

Like Blueprint, I got my Fusion speakers from their site, was very easy to do.......I actually ordered the same model Blueprint has (2007 model), because it was $20 a set cheaper than the 2008 model. But they must have run out of those, because they sent me the 2008 model ones anyway!!! I wasn't going to complain!!!

Totally agree - they do a very good job!
