    Excellent choice! Congratulations!!!
    PS I would think that being an @agingboomer would be almost a prerequisite for eligibility.

    I'm not convinced, there, Botty McBottersen.

    Thank you to Polk Audio for this. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to give these speakers a great home and will post pics and impressions of them after I have had a chance to let them settle in! I love this place!

    Congrats. Enjoy. Don't forget to wait for and include that 1099 before filing with the IRS next spring.

    Wow! That was fast shipping. Again, enjoy. I recommend putting them on some solid stands. The relatively cheap Monoprice Monoliths (a Pangea knockoff) worked well for my R200. Just mass load them with something like aquarium gravel or sand. You might need to seal the bottoms better if you use sand. If I recall, the fit at the bottom plate of each tube is not super precise. Gravel did not have any leakage, but fine sand might. (Note: I am only recommending the version with 4 square tubes. I have no experience with the other varieties.)

    Thanks again to everyone for entering this contest. It was great reading through all of your stories. It's amazing how many people still have their original receipts and order forms from 10, 15 even 20+ years ago. How cool!

    Let's congratulate @agingboomer on being selected as the random winner for this giveaway. As the R100s are getting packaged up and shipped out today, this officially closes out this giveaway. But we will be back with more soon. Thank you for all of the suggestions!

    And we promise, this is not a bot :)

    You know he just made that story up right? Guy can't even spell Plok Adio anyhow. :s
    Gustard X26 Pro DAC
    Belles 21A Pre modded with Mundorf Supreme caps
    B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks refreshed and upgraded
    Polk SDA 1C's modded / 1000Va Dreadnaught
    Wireworld Silver Eclipse IC's and speaker cables
    Harman Kardon T65C w/Grado Gold. (Don't laugh. It sounds great!)

    For the record, I said "Thank you" twice in private messages to PolkSocial, the only participant in this thread to whom thanks was due. I will now say "Thank you" to those of you who felt the need to point out my deficiencies.
