Top o' the Mornin'
No, I am not Irish, not even the littlest bit. In fact, years of living with an angry alcoholic whose antecedents hailed from County Cork rather took the zing out of St. Patrick's Day for me, as I usually got the worse end of the shamrock. A decade spent in Boston listening to the locals talk about why people like me shouldn't be allowed into their little parade didn't help, either.
However, time and distance and a new appreciation for countries full of sheep have restored my enthusiasm, so if you're Irish and not an asshole, you have my best wishes, and the above cartoon is for you.
Dolores sends her best. She started celebrating last night, to beat the rush. Erin go baaaaa.

Erin Go Bahhh, to you too, Franklin.
Thanks for making me chuckle every day. - 11:00 AM

Until gays and lesbians are allowed to march in the NYC parade I have no interest. I am wearing rust and tan today.
- Christine said...
I am a non-asshole Irish person and I wish you a Happy St. Patty's day! Thanks for the daily laughs!
- Mary said...
I have been reading your blog and lovin' it! I always imagine Dolores has a brogue. As a second generation Irish person married to a native of Dublin residing in the Boston area, my sympathy goes out to you for your lousy experiences with those of the old sod. Ignorance is everywhere. Anyone with any Irish blood or appreciation of the culture would welcome you and yours. I know I do.
- Rachel H said...
I've just printed a copy of your drawing to fax to my Irish father, a very lovely man from Belfast. I think it's wonderful, and I know he'll get a kick out of it too.
Happy St. Paddy's day! - 11:13 AM
- Aidan said...
I'm not usually an asshole, so I accept your wishes and return them.
I'm just your run-of-the-mill Irish Jew. I had a tetch of the Family Disease, so I finished a lifetime of drinking rather sooner than one might have expected. Tonight will be awash with the Guinnes NA -- NOT green -- and corned beef, cabbage, and champ for Shabbat dinner. And I bought a 10 pound brisket, so there will be corned beef left over for boxty in the morning.
Give Dolores my love, and tell her I ordered a mug with her mug. - 11:19 AM
- Dawn said...
I lived for 11 years in Ireland - Dublin and the West. I loved it and feel more homesick for there than for Scotland, my real native land.
I once painted a rainbow and pot of gold on my living room wall.
These two facts make me more Irish than your bad experience, no?
Thanks for the great wee cartoon!
Happy Paddy's Day, Franklin - 11:23 AM
- pacalaga said...
I am not Irish. Actually, my family came from the more oppressive half of those islands. (I don't think I'm an asshole either, but I could be biased.) I do, however, appreciate any group whose national identity revolves around beer.
Tell Dolores to leave some for the rest of us.
Does it still count if I'm drinking Mexican beer? - 11:35 AM
- Jon said...
Shamrock or shillelagh?
I'm decidedly not Irish, not even by injection. - 11:37 AM
- Holly @Home said...
Happy St.Patricks to all Irish-American visitors and any from Eire of course.I'd love to find that little Leprechaun under a rainbow then he could knit me some socks for Mum .Mum's dad was a violent alcoholic and she is teetotal .We are a mix of slav,african-carib..no Irish we know of .
- Anonymous said...
just ordered a dolores mug as I sit here, warm and toasty, in my all-sheep high-kicking chorus line sweat shirt.
I trust the chicago river has been dyed green just for today.
I am not irish, so today has no meaning for me.
loving this blog, as always.
PS - I knew the curmudgeon would win!

Happy St. Patrick's day to you too!
Our family is a mixture of Irish-French (mother) and English-Scots (father). Literally orange and green.
While I have my moments, I'm not usually an asshole. I'm proud of my Irish heritage, and am sorry to hear about your experiences with those of Irish heritage who are less evolved persons. They are not the best side of the Irish character. - 12:22 PM
- Jen said...
I think Dolores is channelling my love for debauchery. I live vicariously through her.
St. Patties day = overrated holiday for drunken tit groping pervos - will be going out for italian tonight.
To all the nice Irish in the crowd I will enjoy a pint o' guiness in salute!
Love the illustrations. - 1:10 PM
- Laurel said...
Mostly not an asshole and mostly Irish here, so thanks for the pic :-)... find it amusing that you went from Boston to Chicago... lots of Irish here, too, lol... I try to ignore the close-minded parts of being, well, anything...
- Celtic Knitter said...
YEAH! I'm Irish and not an asshole (or so I think). THanks for the cartoon!
- Nancy J said...
I grew up being made to wear orange on St. Paddy's Day -- we were protestant Irish from Northern Ireland and my family immigrated (1857)because my great great uncle was stoned to death for his religious beliefs. Sheep Country is Best.
- Kathy Merrick said...
Well, you know, there's that old Irish thing about how there are two kinds of Irish: lace curtain and bog.
In my family, we recognize a third:
CRAZY Irish.
Slainte Mhath anyhow. - 5:43 PM
- doloreshaze said...
See Kath, we always said Lace Curtain or Shanty Irish. My grandmother had pretentions towards being L.C., but we're Shanty all the way.
Franklin, if I'm Irish AND and asshole, am I allowed to have a nice St. Pat's? Not that it matters, I'll be stuck at work until 1am, and will have to wade home through puddles of green vomit left by earlier, imprudent revelers. - 8:46 PM
- Kathy said...
Im the Hungarian of the irisheyesknitters.blogspot.com. I love the Irish, but not so much the American-Irish second generation or third. I can make a mean soda bread though, lots of carawey in our recipe. - 9:22 PM
- Lucia said...
Neither Irish nor asshole, at least from what my friends tell me, and if you're ever near Boston I'd be happy to serve you and Dolores drinks.

I've got a great story about Ireland and sheep that I'd like to share.
It was the winter of 2004, and Meg and I were meandering through County Sligo. Being that our vacation destinations were driven primarily by which pub session we wanted to end up at when the day was through, we had to occupy our daytime hours with something. This particular day we chose Carrowkeel, a set of passage tombs in the southern part of the county.
First of all, I have to tell you that we followed all of the signs to get there, yet each sign stated that the distance to travel was greater. I think we started off at 3km and ended up with a sign that said 6km. The last sign was a piece of hand-carved wood nailed onto a tree that simply pointed to the right.
Driving about a quarter mile down the road brought us to a gate with no signage. Puzzled, we sat there for about five minutes until we realized that Irish people aren't nearly as possessive about their land as us Americans, and that the intention was that you came in but closed the gate behind you to keep the sheep in. Another 500 meters down the road were signs for Carrowkeel. These tombs are apparently on some farmer's land, because there we were, surrounded by sheep, climbing around these rock formations.
The best part, though, was that it was mid-morning and a thick layer of fog had settled on the upper part of the hills. It was incredibly beautiful and other worldly, and we didn't see another soul anywhere in Carrowkeel. It was an absolutely awesome experience.
So, happy St. Patrick's Day. - 2:22 AM
- Holly @Home said...
After a few posts that had me in stitches I just got sombre thinking how lucky I am to live in England where your best friend can be a Catholic ,Protestant ...and anything else.Mum's best friend as a child was Polish and she went to Mass ( couldn't understand a word but loved Frankincense) .If we'd lived in N.I they'd have had to live in seperate streets ,go to different schools.I understand it is more about uniting the country than religion really and we hope that happens and soon but how to get the so-called "loyalists" to see they won't be dragged to Mass by the Gov. of Eire is another matter .A Glaswegian friend told Mum it is nearly as bad there ...viva diversity .
- Mel said...
Well, all my Irish ancestry was protestant (though I've apparently got distant cousins in Cork who are a wealthy political family, and Catholic - go figure), and being in South Carolina we were far removed from the Irish-American enclaves, so it was never a huge holiday for us. Our Calvinist background kept the drinking to a minimum, too. Still, I think I may get me one of these to wear next year. :-D
- Aidan said...
Historical note: the Troubles weren't religiously defined at the beginning. Robert Emmet, may his memory be a blessing, was a protestant, and his leiutennant in the 1803 Rising, Anne Devlin, was a Catholic. The Troubles were a revolt against the second Act of Union of 1800. It is, indeed, quite sad that what was and is at its heart a nationalist struggle has been hidden under the cloak of religious ideology.
Sorry...my family feels very stongly ont he issue...every generation of our family has a boy named Robert Emmet.
fwrdllye is my word verification...that soundls like a Welsh word to me! - 10:50 AM

I'm first gen German. I don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I celebrate Steuben Day.
I went out last night for dinner and had a rare and handy Cosmopolitan.

Makes me wonder how they would know if someone gay was in the parade.
Screw them! Come down to Philly for the Mummer's parade. It's mostly an Italian-American thang, but everyone would be too drunk to notice another group of men wearing sequins and feathers. ;) - 1:38 PM
- Sneaksleep said...
Erin go baaaa! Yay! You never fail to bring a smile to my day. I'm Irish (ok, Irish, Scottish, Polish & Czech), but usually disgusted with the boring (and often exclusive) parades and public drunkenness that seem to be the hallmark of St. Patty's Day here.
On a different topic, it's 99% sure that I'll be in Chicago next Friday to Sunday (3/24-3/26). Any interest in sharing a coffee or at least maybe giving me some tips on good LYS to check out? Feel free to comment on my blog or email me at sneaksleep AT hotmail DOT com if you have a sec. :-) - 5:01 PM

I don't know how I got to your blog... I started somewhere and ended up here... anywho, I laughed until I peed (childbirth x 3 will do that to a girl). There is a definate lack of wit in this world and I am pleased to have found another blog to begin my day with.
Dolores would fit right in where I work. If she ever needs long term care.... give her my name. - 8:47 AM
- Kathy Merrick said...
Beg to differ TOTALLY about the Mummers. Not at all even remotely mostly Italian in nature or origin.
Mummering is a big deal in many Celtic countries, including Newfoundland.
The Mummers of Philly are of many different backgrounds.
I knew alot of them as a child, as my grandfather played the banjo in Aqua.
He was born in Germany, but many of his crew were Irish.
Not that being an Italian thing would be bad, mind you.
It's just that Mummering in Philadelphia ISN'T an Italian thing. - 10:30 AM

As a good Scottish Presbyterian, from a family of teetotallers, I'm like, St Patricks day, whats that all about ????
Did you hear what St Patrick said to the snakes as he drove them out of Ireland ? - You boys alright there in the back ??
(I know, I know it's not a good one, but its the only St Patricks joke I know) - 4:11 PM
- Rabbitch said...
My maiden name is Northern Irish, although I was born in Scotland. I suspect that sometimes I'm an asshole, too!
Um, there was a point to this comment, I'm pretty sure, but my train of thought just left the station ... - 5:28 PM
- Adele said...
Here in Sydney Australia, St Pat's Day is often nothing more than an excuse for people to get drunk on Guinness. Apparently there's a parade but I've never met anyone who's gone to watch it, much less march in it.
The G&L Mardi Gras parade, on the other hand, gets thousands of people from all over the world (as you'll no doubt know :-)
I think I like this prioritisaton... - 12:56 AM
- IDonneForgot said...
Despite memories of past St Pattys Days, Franklin, I hope this one was a good one for you. It sure was for me! That evening I had dinner with a friend whom I hadn't seen for much too long of a time. During the course of the evening, I realized what a rare and wonderful friend he is.
I'm not Irish, but apparently my Viking ancestors gave the Irish their red hair. Wasn't that nice of them? - 12:08 PM
- sahara said...
Well, the little bit of Irish in me–through my great-uncle whose last name is McDermott, and my great-great grandmother through mis-adventure–I wish you Happy St. Pat's day.
I'm not big on the day, as the snakes represent the Celtic religions that were surpressed.
And since I have too much yarn already, I'm down with the pot of gold! - 10:38 AM

Rusty Brown's Ring Donuts
this wiki
GTA Vice City
Rusty Brown's was first mentioned in an advertisement on Flash FM and Fever 105. True to Rockstar's humor, people in the ad have very sexually suggestive opinions of their donuts (i.e. "I like to lick lovingly around the outside and then thrust my tongue in the middle."; "I just love the batter. All over my face.") Toni, Flash's DJ, dedicates Wang Chung's "Dance Hall Days" to the shop.
GTA San Andreas
Rusty Brown's has no physical presence as a business outlet in GTA San Andreas. However, examination of internal files suggests that the brand name was to be used for a cut chain of donut stores around San Andreas.A shared interior of the outlet, which is featured in cutscenes in early missions with Frank Tenpenny, exists but is only accessible via the Hidden Interiors Universe. In addition, textures and models for donuts on trays (in a similar fashion as fastfood trays for Cluckin' Bell, Burger Shot and Well Stacked Pizza) also exist in internal files.
Similar donut shops, including Jim's Sticky Ring and Tuff Nut Donuts, exist in the final version of the game's setting.
However, in Colonel Fuhrberger's kitchen, there is a leaflet for Rusty Brown's Ring Donuts on the table, indicating that it could have been featured in the game. This can also be seen in the Johnson House.
GTA Liberty City Stories
Rusty Brown's appears in GTA Liberty City Stories at a diner Callahan Point, Portland Island, Liberty City (circa 1998) where Greasy Joe's Café should be in Grand Theft Auto III (circa 2001). A Police Car and a Mule can be found in the parking lot.
It is also likely to be Liberty City Bikers turf, as referenced in a mission where Toni has to find a cure for the overdosed Maria Latore, who thinks she left the cure, which was called "zap", near there. They find no zap there, and they also find the enraged biker gang, because Toni and Maria were behind the killing of their leader, Cedric "Wayne" Fotheringay. The bikers then give chase to the pair.
The business is over 50 years old. It has expanded into the Internet, selling donuts online, and recently opened the franchise in East Asia. Its main site is at www.rustybrownsringdonuts.com. Rusty Brown's has a theme for the cell phone at www.vipluxuryringtones.com. The company proudly sponsors the LCPD.
GTA Chinatown Wars
In Chinatown Wars, each Unique Stunt Jump involves crashing your car through a Rusty Brown's billboard. There are 30 spread throughout Liberty City.
- In GTA IV Multiplayer, when cops are turned on, one of the insults your character may say to a cop is "Don't you have a Rusty Brown Ring to tongue?", referring to the company's sponsorship of the LCPD.
- In the Lost and Damned mission Roman's Holiday, Malc belittles Roman by stating he'd get into the car (in which he and Johnny Klebitz were kidnapping him in) faster if there were some Rusty Brown's Ring Donuts inside.
- Considering Rockstar's adult humor, Rusty Brown Ring probably refers to an anus.
- The restaurant's interior is inaccessible, however it can be accessed using modifications.
- In GTA San Andreas a pedestrian shown as a Los Santos street criminal will say "I'm a Rusty Brown donut eating gangster."
- In the beta version of GTA San Andreas, CJ could eat donuts but this was removed in final version.

i love this band strong enough to where to work
I recently purchased two of these rings for our wedding. We only had a couple of weeks and were planning to have a larger wedding and ceremony later in the year so we just wanted something nice and simple. We purchased these rings because they looked great and we thought we were getting a great deal. Boy were we wrong. Within 2 months both rings had cracks in them. We were pretty surprised, but the metal used is actually very brittle. The ring is uncomfortable to wear, and it is heavy. We have had the rings now for just over 6 months and the "diamond" fell out of one of them. We have decided to purchase new rings of better quality that we should have just done in the first place. All in all, VERY disappointed and would not recommend these rings to anyone.
Very shiny and nice. The picture does not do the ring justice. I would highly recommend!
The ring was pretty. Definitely not the size I ordered, it was much too large. But since it was the ring I got for my wedding, I kept it and my husband got a spacer. Unfortunately though the whole thing started scuffing and scratching, and eventually the diamond in it fell out. It was quite a disappointment, especially since I so dumbly didn't get the warranty. But what wedding band falls apart? This one, I suppose. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, but who knows. Maybe we got the lemon?
My husband loves this ring! I surprised him on our wedding day with this ring & his face lit up! Very nice ring for the price I paid.

by Loren Barstow Potent bookshelf speakers Treat yourself to detailed, accurate sound with Polk's compact RTi A1 bookshelf speakers. They feature Polk's exclusive Dynamic Balance® drivers for smooth accurate response. Plus the woofers and tweeters undergo careful laser testing to help identify and eliminate unwanted resonances that can hinder a speaker's performance. Thoughtful cabinet design The asymmetric cabinet helps fight vibration for clearer sound. The RTi A1's newly designed asymmetric cabinets help them deliver rich, clear sound by combating vibration and increasing rigidity. You'll enjoy remarkably clean mids and highs for a well-defined soundstage, along with tight bass. Plus, the cabinet's curved edges give the speaker a polished look, enhanced by a real wood veneer finish. Great for home theater or stereo music setups The RTi A1s do a great job with stereo music on their own, or you can team them with a powered subwoofer for even better bass. Or use two pairs as your home theater's front and surround speakers for dynamic, detailed movie sound. For larger rooms, the RTi A1s work perfectly as surrounds in combination with RTi tower front speakers. Recommended center channel speaker: Polk CSi A4. Recommended surround speakers: Polk RTi A1.

Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers.
RTi A1 Review Written By Rod, Bothell, WA on Sunday, March 29, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent speakers. I use them in my wood shop. Great frequency range, especially low end fie the size.
A Beautiful Piece of Equipment Written By John Barrow, Texas on Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am not a professional musician and bought this speaker set on the advice of the Crutchfield representative. It arrived in perfect shape, even though UPS mistakenly sent it through much of Texas before getting it to my location. I have set it up and the it produces a great and vibrant sound. What really impressed me is how sturdy and beautiful this piece of equipment is. I bought the cherry wood model and it is a really striking addition to my new weekend home. Thank you Crutchfield for the recommendation. I also bought Polk outdoor speakers, but have not hooked them up yet. I will review those when I do, but based on the quality of the RT1A1, I am optimistic they will be of top quality also. Pros: Great sound Sturdy, well-made speakers Absolutely beautiful finish Great price Cons: None
Polk Audio RTi A1 Review Written By Gene, Houston on Sunday, August 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently purchase the a set of Polk Audio RTi A1 speakers. They sound great. I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend them. IN addition, the speakers are a handsome piece of furniture.

I purchased three sets to accompany Polk's matching center channel (CSi A4) for my 7.1 system. Recommended. I've ordered Polk's DSW PRO 550wi sub to round out the system. Pros: Timbre matched, solid construction, ascetically pleasing. A bracket, screw and template is provided to make side- and/or back-wall mounting a snap. Cons: None.
Great Value Written By Mark D, Copley OH on Sunday, July 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am using these as the "main" speakers in my office, connected to a PC. I watch a lot of movies and listen to a lot of music in my office. These speakers do the job. I have only had them for a few days, but they are lively and clean. I am using them with some BIC Venturi surrounds and center and an Energy ESW-M8 subwoofer. These speakers are clear and clean. I got them on sale. From a value perspective, they are amazing.
Big Room Problem Solved Written By RobA, Iowa on Monday, May 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After years living in a house with fairly standard rooms my wife finally got her "open concept" home. I call the main floor the cave. It's two stories of sound killing wood and walls. I have spent the past three years trying to put together a system for viewing movies and listening to music so that I can hear dialogue while watching TV and then enjoy music when the TV is off. Last year I bought some Polk Audio in wall speakers for the rear of the system and this year I purchased these RTiA1 speakers for the front surrounds. The speakers solved my big room sound problems without having to go to the mat with my wife over larger speakers. The dialogue is crisp and clear, and now I have no problem hearing my favorite TV shows and movies. The speakers also give great wide range sound when listen to music. An added bonus are the maple wood enclosures that actually match the credenza that the whole thing sits on. I am really satisfied with both the rear in wall speakers and my new RTi fronts.
Very Discouraging Written By GlennE, Gretna, LA on Tuesday, February 18, 2014 Bought these after searching, reviewing, pricing and deciding not to rebuild my 20 year old Infinity's. Right out of the box, one of the woofers didn't work. Customer service said they would replace them. Just very disappointed thinking Polk was a solid product. :{ Pros: The one speaker that worked sounded pretty good. Cons: Having to box up and ship back and wonder if I made the right decision.
So much for so little Written By Rory, Yonkers on Saturday, December 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I use them as front speakers in my home theater set up. For my room size these are really good. The bass response in these puppies is unbelievable for their size, they compliment the PSW 125 subwoofer and the Tsi CS 10 that I am using for the center speaker. Pros: Small, and Oh so strong. Cons: None
Polk Audio RTi A1 Speakers are Awesome! Written By CathieK, Tamaqua, PA on Friday, December 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My Crutchfield advisor recommended these to me, and he was right on with what I needed. They look and sound awesome. I highly recommend them and Crutchfield for all of your audio needs. Pros: Great sound and look Cons: None that I can see
My Crutchfield advisor, Shawn, nailed this one for me! Written By Cooderhead, Mulege,Baja California Sur, Mexico on Wednesday, December 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Beautiful addition to my home The cherry finish is excellent. The construction of the speakers exceeded my expectations as did the sound. I also use a powered sub woofer and the two together are just perfect. The overall tonal range is exceptional and solid sounding. I have not done so as yet, but I do plan on mounting these speakers on the wall. I have already recommended them to a friend. Great purchase! Pros: Beautiful construction, shielded, wall mount capability Cons: I have nothing negative to say about these speakers.
Great sound from a small package Written By Tigertomc1965, Kunkletown, PA on Sunday, October 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This small bookshelf really performs well. I have a setup of RTi A3 for fronts, a CSi A6 and now these as my surrounds. This is a great setup. All of these Polk speakers are very high end in build quality. They look great and sound even better. I was concerned about size but these do not disappoint. I get plenty of sound to fill my room. They tend to be really bright speakers. So mids and highs are there in quantity. With my system I had to turn down the highs 10db and the mids 5 db and then pump up my bass 5-10 db and it now sounds amazing. Even these speakers give me the thump, thump, thump when the bass is high. I do not have the crossover set very high (at 60hz) but these provide good bass sound now that the highs and mids are muted some with my setup. I still get amazing clarity and distinction between instruments so no muddy sounds here. I am thoroughly impressed. Wonderful investment. My only complaint is with Crutchfield's ability to take their speakers off sale just before I wanted to buy them. If you buy some of the set at one time then do not wait for your points or the rest of the set will be off sale when you actually have the points to use. Pros: Sound great, great distinction between instruments, small size, good bass sounds from a small package, great quality, looks great in my room. Cons: expensive, very bright but can be adjusted.
Solid Written By Justin, Burlington, VT on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Small profile, great sound. Just bought these to go with a new Denon receiver for my home theater setup. Just using these two speakers plus a subwoofer and there's plenty of sound for 10X18 room. Pros: small profile, sound Cons: Haven't found any yet...
Great sound and value! Written By gene, Lafayette, LA on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I spent weeks evaluating these speakers and when I was ready to purchase, I chose Crutchfield because of thier good service, advice, and price. I already have Polk Audio speakers installed in two other zones and needed new fronts in my main 5.1 zone (TV room). My Onkyo "head end" has never sounded so good! Thanks Polk Audio and Crutchfield for partnering to provide excellent sound in my main zone. Pros: Great soundstage and integration with existing system. Balanced highs and lows that reproduce great music and audio in home theater. Beautiful cabinets and look almost as good as they sound! Cons: None to mention.
Polk RTi A1 Written By John, Laramie,Wyo. on Friday, August 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A Fantastic Set Of Speakers! Well Worth The Money! Pros: Crystal Clear Highs And Lows- They Handle Power Well! Cons: None
great speaker for the price Written By firstname.lastname@example.com, huntingtown, md on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) great speaker for the price - bought a sub woofer, but has nice bass and great high end. strongly recommend. Pros: nice sound nice look easy to mount on wall Cons: non noted
Precise, warm overall great sound. Written By efz, Colombia S.America on Monday, July 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Classic well made precise and a reasonable price. Pros: Upgraded my 2.1 home theater to Polk´s RTi A1 speakers, very precise, "warm" sounding set. Great value for the money, solid construction; the natural Wood finish complements the bookshelf. Overall I conclude recommended... Cons: Had them shipped next day air oops, cost was steep. This is why I rated 4 out of 5. Suggest use free shipping for speakers! To balance, Crutchfield shipping, like clock work.
Very Clear Written By Ron, Iowa on Monday, June 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just set these speakers up in a 27' x 14' room. I installed them with bookshelf hangers from Sanus . I installed these at ceiling height but was able to tip the speaker down to direct it into the listening area. I also matched these up with a CSI A4 center channel located at ear level under the big screen television. These speakers are powered by an Onkyo HT-RC260. Hidden is a powered subwoofer. Rear speakers are Bose. This system rocks. So much dimension you swear your in the middle of the action. Clear, Clean, undistorted sound. Pros: Great looking! Nice speaker connections. Cons: None
Pol speakers Written By Rbirk, Slc ,UT on Thursday, May 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good sound
Speaker by Polk Audio Written By PWB, Southeast Texas on Thursday, May 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice speakers for the price. equal in sound quality to larger more expensive floor models. My limited space required bookshelf style speakers. I've had Polk Audio speakers in the past and I like them. Nice appearance, excellent sound quality
Extremely Pleased Written By Blake P, Raleigh, NC on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Running the A1s off a Denon AV-1913 on shelves in a large room. Was worried about filling the whole room, but worry no more. I use for TV, movies, Blu-Ray, Pandora, iTunes AirPlay, etc. These babies definitely do the job, along with the subwoofer and in-ceiling Polk MC60s...great sound field. As mentioned in other reviews, the A1s are bigger than they appear, especially in depth. Something to be aware of. Can certainly re-allocate to the back as surround speakers given further upgrade in the future. Pros: Clarity, Appearance Cons: None
EXCELLENT Written By TONY J., Harrisburg, PA on Sunday, April 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers have revealed a whole new dimension to my music. I didn't know what I was missing. matched them with the Polk CSi A4 (center speaker) and a pair of Polk RC80i ceiling speakers. Great sound!!!!!!! Pros: Look great with excellent sound. Cons: None
RTi fronts Written By Anonymous, naples FL on Thursday, April 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) first picked up the CSi center by Polk, my Energy Take system was infuriating when it came to dialogue with some movies. and wouldn't you know it, they're right when they say you need to voice match your fronts with your center. the energy Take fronts didnt quite mesh with the Polk center. picked up the voice matched RTi A1s 2 weeks after the center. the sound is insanely sweet. dialogue is crisp. with the Energy Take system, there was no need to ever go to the movies. now there's no need to go to work either. Pros: amazing sound Cons: none at all
Very Pleased Written By I. M., Austin, TX on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Matched these guys up with matching Polk center speaker and PSW10 subwoofer. Makes a great theater system. Pros: Crisp, balanced sound. Good looking (cherry finish). Reasonable price. Cons: Non so far.
Excellent Speakers Written By Mack, Accokeek, MD on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are excellent; concur with all that they require break-in period but construction and quality are above all to include the bose that I purchased some years ago. Pros: None Cons: None
Need break in Written By Mike D, Twin Cities, MN on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Several people have commented that you need to give these speakers time to break in and I agree. Out of the box I was immediately impressed with the quality and the beauty of the Cherry cabinets. When I heard them at first I thought they were shallow and muted in a way. After 10-15 hours of running them they have improved and gotten much crisper and I definitely am impressed. On their own, they don't have enough bass for hard rock, but they perform well on their own with other "softer" genres that don't require pounding bass. I have them paired with JBL Northridge Series towers and JBL Northridge Series sub in a very large open space and they really fill-in the mid-range and highs.. Maybe the A3's would have been better considering the huge room they are in, but that is not a knock on the speakers as much as it is my application for a bookshelf. Pros: Beautiful cabinets. Nice sound. Excellent wall mount system. Cons: On their own they are not enough for a big room or really heavy music. Maybe the bass ports would be more functional if mounted on the wall.
Polk Audio RTiA1 Written By Just Me, Severna Park MD on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Attractive bookshelf unit. Two pairs of wire attachments is good for attaching multiple sources. Sound quality is ok, but a bit Tunney. I have a lot of Polk speakers. Not sure these measure up, but I'm probably being a bit hard on the small base. Pros: Attractive unit Cons: Sound a bit limited.
Gremlin88 Written By Anonymous, Knoxville, TN on Tuesday, January 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Once again, Polk doesn't dissappoint. I've been a Polk fan for years, so excuse the bias. If you're familiar with Polk then this review will sound familiar as well. If you're not a fan then you owe it to yourself to give these speakers a listen. Open mids and highs and surprisingly decent bass. My receiver actually thought they were "large" speakers when I ran the microphone aided auto set up (Pioneer VSX 1020). When set up properly, they produce an open, natural image. I have these mated with a CSi A4 center and DSW 550wi sub, which I purchased as a set, due to the current special with the sub discount along with some older T15's that still do well as surrounds. Check the measurements on the CSi A6 center before deciding on that vs the A4. Neither is small, but the A6 is huge, and to be honest, the A4 is impressive in an average sized room (mine is 17' x 22' and the A4 doesn't lack for anything when mated with a powered sub). Just watched Transformers D.O.T.M. after finishing receiver tuning and all I can say is WOW! Great dynamic range with 0 distortion. Music lovers don't worry...these have you covered. Not only did they make Pandora's sound quality level up considerably (not an easy task...), but well recorded CD's sound sublime, with details you probably have been missing. I've auditioned everything from Bose (you're paying for the name...) to Def Tech to Paradigm and Revell. You have to spend a LOT more to beat the RTi series... Pros: Open, natural sound, with great dynamic range. Suitable for movies AND music. Cons: They're not free...
Great Speakers Written By ek, Newton, MA on Monday, November 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have these sitting on a hardwood floor on my second floor office. All I can say is they sound really good. The bass is nice and tight without causing unnecessary vibration. Everything I have played through them has sounded better then I would have imagined (From Gershwin to Madonna to Iron Maiden). The price can't be beaten either. Pros: Fit and finish, sound, and price Cons: None so far.
Great value speakers Written By Peter T, Fairfield, Oh on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I use these as side speakers for my 7:1 system and for the price they can't be beaten, they're well made and aesthetically pleasing too. I run a Marantz SR7007 A/V receiver and my main speakers are by B&W, but the Polks hold up well and for what you pay you get an excellent product. Pros: Good value for money, well made Cons: A little weak at high volume, but for bookshelf units this shouldn't be an issue
RTiA1's Written By KirkD, Lincoln, IL on Monday, September 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had a cheap "R.S.? center speaker" blow on me when I hooked up my Yamaha audio reciever, so I first ordered the Polk CS20 and found I had to replace my right and left front speakers as well. I opted for the RTiA1's and the sound is explosive. When my R.S. powered subwoofer goes I will be back for a Polk powered subwoofer.
Fantastic for music listening.... Written By D123, Rochester, NY on Thursday, May 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Decided on these after I shopped for a while for a set of bookshelves I could mount in a second room for 100% music listening. I mainly listen to acoustic and electric jazz at low - moderate volumes. Even pushed by a 20 old 55W/channel receiver, these things sound amazing. For the price -looks and sound are impossible to beat. Impressed so much I await the arrival of RTiA3's which will replace old floor (no name) speakers. Also ordered a NAD C356DAC amp to run both of these speakers and am looking forward to the major upgrade in that as well. Thanks so much Crutchfield for offering a diverse inventory to select from for people who like to listen to music and not HT. No brick and mortar store exists around me any longer that provides a 2 channel music listener such a selection. It seems everyone has migrated to home theater or car audio. Pros: Sound, looks, price. Cons: None.
Great Surround Sound Speakers Written By Dave, Chicago, IL on Sunday, July 24, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these in conjunction with Polk TSi 400's and Polk TSi CS10's to replace my Bose Acumass 10 system. These speakers sound and look great in the cherry color. Although I'm using them as surround sound speakers they are also probably adequate as front speakers with the stands I purchased. I was hoping that with the woofers contained in all these speakers a powered sub-woofer would not be necessary. But if you want the true "theater" sound you need the sub-woofer which I bought at a later date. Strongly recommend these speakers.
Polk Audio RTi A1 Written By Misterkraft, Sammamish, WA on Sunday, February 06, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome set of bookshelf speakers that have been used for home theater fronts, surrounds and also living room 2 channel stereo system. Very solid construction, excellent build quality, superb performance. Tested Bose, Infinity, Pioneer and Polk came up the winner in this category and price range. Would buy them again in a heartbeat. Effectively no distortion and highest volumes I can handle.
nice stand mount speakers Written By Allen, Durham, NC on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers to use with a Peachtree Decco 2. I have owned them roughly two months now and have been really pleased with the combination. The upper frequencies and the midrange are clear and life like. There is a surprising amount of low frequency output for its size, but, depending on the recording, there are times I wish I could get a little more support for string bass and the like. I had the larger Rti A1s for a few weeks before I sent them back for these. The RTi A1s had a fuller lower midrange, but there were times that they seemed tto sacrifice upper midrange accuracy for lower bass extension. One last consideration---these speakers will really sing with good power and a musical signal. I hooked these up to a Yamaha surround receiver and it revealed all of the receiver's inaccuracies. Hooked them back up to the Decco 2 and got a much more musical sound. I wish I could hear these Polks with a Peachtree Nova which has more power. Might be even better than they are. Aesthetically, these are very attractive speakers sitting on some 24" stands.
Great sound for a good price Written By Mike, NJ on Saturday, November 27, 2010 I have had these speakers for, about 2 years now and I am very impressed with the high frequency detail and the very rich mid range frequency. The lows are there and very powerful for a bookshelf speaker. I had originally hooked the RTi A1s to my old 30 year old stereo. I heard detail but most of the time the highs were grainy and the lows muddy. But after i bought a NAD C355BEE from Crutchfield, i then heard what the RTi A1s had to offer. The detail and the liquid sound is amazing! No grain or muddy bass. I give credit to both the NAD C355BEE and the Polk RTi A1s, the two make a great pair. Both are worth every dollar$!!!
Polk Audio RTi A1 Written By Kelly, Alachua, FL on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 Overall these are very nice speakers. I am currently using them as a stereo set and they work well even without a subwoofer. Quality of sound seems to depend on quality of the broadcast and/or input media. Adding to the speakers to make a 2.1 or 5.1 system would most probably improve the output as well. However, these speakers produce a robust sound with very articulate voices and rich music on their own.
Polk Audio RTi A1 Written By Grant, Eastern Massachusetts on Thursday, October 15, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got the Polk RTiA1 speakers because of a recommendation. I was told they would provide a clean and natural sound. To an extent they did, but there were some issues. I compared the RTiA1 to the Boston Acoustics CS26 and my Thiel CS0.5 and Boston Acoustics CR77 speakers. I used a stereo setup to evaluate them. Out of the box the RTiA1 speakers had a beautiful, though a tad dark, real natural cherry exterior. I have natural cherry living room furniture. They fit in well. They also seemed to be solidly built. Well it really all comes down to how they sound. The RTiA1 highs were clear and just a tiny bit subdued. Vocals were where the problem came in. There seemed to a small amount a distortion in the lower end of the vocals. Since this was at the lower end, it wasn't noticeable with female vocalists. It was noticeable with male vocalists. It wasn't a big deal, but it was there. Also the vocals were a tad recessed. The bass was clean, clear and well defined. There are slightly warm speakers, much like my Thiels, to which they compared pretty well. They weren't at the same level as the Thiels, but that's to be expected at this price range. The Boston Acoustics CS26 and CR77 speakers were both more livelily and the vocals were more forward then with the RTiA1s. That being said, the CS26s couldn't match RTiA1s in warmth, imaging ability or clarity.
Best bookshelf under $500 Written By Mike, Hamilton, New Jersey on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 The RTi A3 has to be one of the best values for under $500. The articulation and transparency of these speakers is nothing short of outstanding. If you listen to classical music you will be amazed as every nuance is captured. My collection of CD's includes Steely Dan's Aja, and Chicago's Chicago Transit Authority, both sound incredible! If you are looking for what might be the best bookshelf speaker for under $500, look no further.
Polk RTi-A1 = Best sounding speaker under $200 ! Written By John M, ABQ, NM. on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 WOW ! Built my HomeTheater with these as my front main L/R speakers. Teamed with Polk Audio's RM6752 Center, RM6751's for Rear Surround, and a PSW-10 Sub. These are being fed signals from a PS3 into a Yamaha RX-V463 via HDMI. Have the RTi-A1's mounted out one foot to the side of a 46in LCD HDTV mounted on the wall of my small, stone floor livingroom. The sound of this System is OUTSTANDING ! The performance of the RTi-A1 speakers are SPECTACULAR ! I am completly sold on Polk Audio Speakers, Yamaha Receivers, Sony PS3 (Blu Ray), HDMI Connections, and Crutchfield ! This setup, minus TV was a tad under $2K, and sounds as good or even better then my Nieghbor's "HighDollar" Amp/ A/V Pre-Amp w/ Klipsch $$ Speakers all around ! When my house is "on".. cars stop to listen !
Great front speaker Written By Steve, Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, February 21, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great speaker for the front of my home theater. The sound is clear and full. It blends in perfectly with my other Polk speakers.
Compact and Powerful Written By Lee90125, Ridgeland, MS on Friday, February 13, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently came into enough cash to buy my first true home theater. I must say that after spending months agonizing over which components to get, that my decision to buy this pair was the right one. Things I took into consideration when choosing this pair were, size, power handling, reviews on this and various other sites, finish, utilization of front air ports and cost. I have yet to find a negative review of these speakers and the footprint they use is tiny, which fits my semi-minimalist tastes. I am currently using them as my front left and right channels, pumping 100w though a new Denon HD Receiver and they do not disappoint. They have had two months to break in and provide excellent clarity for music, movies and really shine with HD Audio. I look forward to having these for many years and when the space allows, I plan on using them to flesh out my system to a full 7.1 surround.
Great Little Speakers Written By Tom, NW, Arkansas on Saturday, January 17, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am only using these as surrounds in my system and as part of an overall speaker upgrade to RTi speakers. They perform very well and I am sure would be more than capable of doing much more than I call upon them to do. The sound is rich and clear. The fit and finish is absolutely excellent. Polk makes fantastic products and Crutchfield is a class act to do business with. I am totally sold on both.
Polk Audio RTi A1 Written By Joe, USA on Monday, September 29, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After about 100 hours of use (mainly for listening music in stereo), the sound from these speakers is becoming extremely very real life. It improves with time. We are using a power amplifier instead of a receiver to get better sound. For TERRIFIC TERRIFIC AM/FM audio reception and sound we use a little Tivoli Pal radio to feed the amplifier (optional RCA-Miniplug cable required). Also you have to spend time to fine tune some details such as space between speakers, distance from walls and speakers height level. Thanks crutchfield!
Good speakers highly recommend Written By David, McKenzie TN on Friday, August 15, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds beautiful. Use these in my bedroom, 5.1 system with RTi A3 up front, RTi A1 surround, CSi A4 center and a PS10 sub. Sony receiver. Love it. These can take power and sound good with U2 or Stevie Ray Vaugn at high volume. Wife loves em too but she cant take the volume. Ya know I dont see her as much as I used to, hmmmm?
Solid Performance in a 7.1 system Written By Larry, Cincinnati, Ohio on Monday, April 28, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am replacing an 18-year-old 5.1 system and decided to upgrade to a 7.1 system. Wow, what a nice sounding product that is beautiful to look at. As more and more 7.1 movies are released on Blu-ray, these speakers will be used as the back surrounds in our home theater room (TR). I have a dedicated 2,850 cubic foot TR and added a complete 7.0 system from Polk (I already had a new 12" 350WRMS Sub). A tower speaker was ruled out due to the WAF (Wife Appreciation Factor) and the built in 15' wide entertainment center. I paired these speakers with the RTiA3 front speakers, FXiA6 surround speakers and CSiA6 center speaker. The sound field produced is amazing for clarity and balance and with a proper AVR & HD player; the Wife & I are never going to the Cinema again! Whether you are watching a concert HD Disc or Hollywood movie, the sound is so accurate and believable to what you are watching. These speakers produce an experience with sound that I have never heard before. The Sub takes care of the LFE and that allows the rest of system to work the mids and highs to perfection. The sound is warm, inviting and immerses the listener. I can now listen to HD movies at higher SPL without any discomfort (at certain frequencies) that bothered me with the old system. This system will easily support me for another 18 years (Sorry Crutchfield!)
Good little speaker with 'pluck' Written By Ken, Maplewood, NJ on Monday, April 14, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The A1 is a very good little speaker. I purchased these to replace a relatively new pair of Polk Monitor 40s which I liked a lot but were larger than I wanted. In my view the A1's sound at least as good as the 40's, better perhaps, and are much smaller with, again in my view, a vastly superior cosmetic appearance, the cherry veneer is very nice. In comparison to the larger A3s the A1s are very nearly identical with respect to sound quality in my view. I had hopped hat the A3 would be a great step up from the A1 based on my experience with the CSi A6 versus the CSi A3 center channel, but this was not my experience. Please see my comments re the Polk CSi A6's. Yes the A3s are larger and have 'more' sound, but to my ear, testing in my main room with my gear, the difference was not that substantial, perhaps the A3s were a bit more open, but this is really a touch call. Every time I would listen to the A3 and think they were better I would swap in the A1s and not be so sure. In the end, given my inability to observe a substantive improvement in the A3s over the A1s, the smaller size was the deciding factor for my HT application especially given the fact that the HT has a sub so the marginal extension of the A3 is largely redundant / unnecessary. Hope this helps, Crutchfield is great, would not buy anything they carry from anyone else.

by Marshall Chase This speaker rocks, but it won't roll The Niles RS8SI Pro stereo-input speaker delivers spacious sound while disappearing into the surrounding landscape. Your outdoor music will sound exceptional thanks to Niles' careful design and attention to detail. Thoughtfully designed for clear sound The RS8SI Pro features dual 1" dome tweeters for crisp highs and an 8" polypropylene woofer for rich midrange and bass. Niles mounts the drivers closer behind the grille than most rock speaker manufacturers for more accurate sound with better imaging. And the tweeters are angled upwards 20 degrees, so the high frequencies are aimed at the listener and not the ground. All of the RS-Pro series speakers have the option to be wired as single channel loudspeakers. Stands up to the elements The RS8SI Pro is completely weatherproof — you can leave it outside fully exposed to whatever nature brings, worry-free. It has passed some of the most stringent environmental tests ever devised for outdoor speakers, including extensive salt fog and UV exposure testing.

This Rock Rocks Written By Outdoorsguy, Ruckersville, Virginia on Wednesday, April 08, 2015 This rock is amazing. It looks great in our new back yard, and the sound is amazing. Another fine product supplied by Crutchfield. Pros: Sounds as good as it looks. it ROCKs
Great sound from a Rock! Written By nikto, Iowa on Tuesday, August 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Niles RS8SI is a great addition to any outdoor space. The rock looks very realistic and is large in size so it actually resembles a small boulder rather than a rock. I have had other rock speakers in the past but Niles has done a great job with the look. On to the sound, I was surprised by the quality of the sound from these speakers. The bass is nice and does eliminate the need for a subwoofer. I order two of these speakers and have powered them with a 100W/ch amp and the sound they produce exceeds the level I can play them at while still be a good neighbor. The tweeters have a nice dynamic range and you can even make out details in the music. The sound is not muffled like some outdoor speakers and musical runs are crisp. If you are looking for a high quality, good-looking, and nice sounding rock speakers, do not hesitate on the Niles RS8SI. They are sure to impress. Pros: Realistic Rock appearance; good bass; tweeters are capable of detail Cons: None so far
Niles RS8SI Pro Written By Anonymous, East Northport, NY on Saturday, May 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered these for a customer, we used 4 to cover a large yard and have great sound everywhere. We are powered with a russound 75w 2channel amp thru a niles ss4 selector and it sound amazing.
Niles RS8SI Pro Written By MM, Inverness, IL on Sunday, April 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound great, look good, and easy install.
Niles RS8SI Pro Written By MDB, Coral Gables, FL on Thursday, October 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was really excited at the time I received the 2 Niles RS8SI Pro. The rocks look amazing. Completely sealed from every angle. I have several larger Coral rocks in my backyard and they blend in nicely. I can assume that as time goes on the speakers will look more like the actual coral rocks due to natural staining from trees, etc. Both rocks were set-up under single speaker stereo option. This requires 2 pairs of cable per rock. It was a tedious job but thankfully I hired someone to do it. However, I am confident they are properly set up. I originally hooked these up to an NI245 Amp from Niles using a Sonos Connect. It didn't take much time to realize that I needed more juicy to drive these rocks. As such, I ordered (Also from Crutchfield) the NI2150 with a speaker selector also from Niles. Having given the rocks enough juicy it was time to see how they performed in my pool/garden area. The rest of my outdoor set-up includes a pair Definites 6500 driven by the NI245 that was originally intended for the rocks. During the first few weeks the highs coming from the rocks were somewhat harsh. The bass was and is still amazing to this day! You can feel the thump in your chest as you get near the speaker. As time has gone by, I have noticed that the highs are more pleasing to the ears and the overall sound has DRAMATICALLY improved. Pros: WIfe friendly, stealth, great bass, looks like they will last for really long time Cons: price, the fact that these will never rival my Definitive 6500 outdoor speakers, you really need to break-in these speakers to get the best sound. Make sure you have lots of juicy to drive them. Your neighbors will hate you.
More than expected from a good looking rock Written By A Lee, Dallas, tx on Thursday, September 26, 2013 Exceptional sound from 2 unobtrusive speakers. Have 2 in the landscaping about 20 feet from a fire pit. Provides great sound across a very wide area with more volume than I can realistically use. These would positively thump if I you can get them within 10-15 feet of your listening area. Smaller than I expected as well. I have 7" patio speakers which look monstrous to the wife, but haven't heard any complaints about these. Pros: Great sound for a relatively small package Wife friendly Cons: Stereo setup means you need plenty of amp channels and power. Wouldn't even try it if you're running 10-35 watts/channel.
Great Sound! Written By M, New Jersey on Monday, August 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great Sound! Brings another level of enjoyment to an already great backyard!
Niles RS8SI Pro Written By A Swan, Pewaukee, WI on Sunday, June 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered three of these speakers to go along the outside edge of our pool which is 40' x 20'. They are wired separately in stereo mode each then pigtailed to then connected to a control4 8 zone amp (120w/channel). I had the dealer restrict to allow using only 60% of the potential amp. It sounds amazing at all volume levels and plenty of bass. If played at 100% available amp level; we would have a very angry neighborhood; it can get loud yet is crystal clear. Extremely happy with these speakers. Pros: Sturdy construction, realistic rock look, bass and treble sounds incredibly well with all types of music. Stereo mode is awesome for covering a large listening area. Great price! Cons: None
Great Speaker Written By Ben, Reston VA on Friday, May 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had this speaker for a month now and so far I love it. I was skeptical at first of getting stereo sound out of one speaker but it really does sound great. This speaker will put out great lows and crystal clear highs. I have connected mine to Zone 2 on my Onkyo tx-sr608 receiver and it sounds great. Pros: Looks better than most rock speakers. Sounds great. Stereo quality sound from a single speaker.

I like the bamboo rug; it has a backing that prevents it from sliding. Fit over hardwood floors. Perfect match for the area I needed to use it. I already have one and enjoy it as well (in another room).
I am very happy with my purchase. The Chinese Bamboo Rug added to my decor. I plan to buy some smaller ones for another room. The rug was as described. Lennette
I was totally surprised that the bamboo rug appeared at our doorstep days before I received the shipping notice from Overstock. Extremely fast service. It was well-packed and arrived in perfect condition. I bought it to protect a "worn" spot on our light-colored, hardwood floor in the kitchen. I had some misgivings about the size and color but it works well for the area under the table. The black edging is a nice accent the goes with a our black stove and dishwasher. We have a Scandanavian teak table and the color goes reasonably well with the rug. I chose the Burnt Bamboo color which appears darker (and shinier) on my monitor screen. For that reason alone, I gave it 4 stars as opposed to 5. I don't know how well it will hold up as we've only had it a week, but so far so good. I'm happy with the purchase.
I hope that the reviewer who said this was good for a rolling chair had better luck than me. On the weight of that review I ordered this item for use under my husband's desk chair over a berber carpet to replace a cracked old plastic floor protector thinking it would look very nice in his African themed den. Well he is not particularly heavy nor is his chair. But as soon as he started using it, the edges started to bend upward and it got so bad that we tripped over the edges every time we entered the room...I'm talking 4 inches off the floor at the outside edges. The center of the bamboo cracked a little and should be thicker if there is to be weight applied to it over anything other than a hard surface. This might be attractive and useful on a hard floor, but think a few times before planning to use it over a carpeted area including very low pile, firm carpet. I'm very disappointed.
I purchased the natural color for my dining room table to use as a mat for protecting my carpet and it worked out perfectly. The natural color is a perfect match to my dining room set, so it looks like a complete set. Very easy to clean, just wipe up spills with a damp cloth.
I love eco-friendy floor coverings like bamboo. I put this bamboo rug under my kitchen table, holds up very well and still looks great. I'm doing a good thing by supporting renewable woods like bamboo and cork.
The bamboo is of very poor quality. After 1 week, it begins to split and I think the rug need another coat of varnish. It is very dull looking.
This rug looks very nice in the kitchen under the table. It is very decorative and adds to the decor. The quality is good and it is very is to maintain.
The rug is coming apart after just a few months of use. Very disappointed as it is beautiful.
I've ordered these rugs several times before and use them in the kitchen. They hold up extremely well for about 3 years. They are SUPPOSED to be, and are described to be, coated with a protective watertight varnish that make cleaning a breeze. When the rug arrived, I thought it looked like it hadn't been varnished, but tested it anyway. Indeed, small water and foot scuff stains showed immediately. Customer service was very helpful and sent another replacement immediately, but the same inferior finish was on that one, too. I'm returning both rugs.

CLERMONT, Fla. - - The Wilmington University softball team continued its nonconference run at the National Training Center, forcing extra innings in game-one and getting its first home run of the season in game-two, but dropped a doubleheader to Saint Anselm, 6-3, and Mary, 4-2, on Thursday.
In the first game of the day, the Wildcats (1-8) used a seventh inning rally to force extra innings, but Saint Anselm responded with five runs in the top of the eighth to retake the lead. Wilmington attempted its second rally is as many innings, but could only get two runs across before succumbing to the Hawks.
Trailing 1-0 heading into their final at-bat, the Wildcats got a leadoff single from Christin Headley to begin the rally. After Headley swiped second base clean, Brooke Berger advanced her to third on a ground out. Jillian Stafford knotted the game up the next at-bat with a run scoring single. The Wildcats had a chance to end in regulation with runners on first and second after Rachel Painter worked a two-out walk. But the Hawks (4-4) made a move in the circle and brought in Paige Cormier who got out of the jam with an inning ending strikeout.
Katie Warrington, who collected nine more strikeouts during the game, started the eighth with a runner on second per the international extra-innings rule. Warrington got the first out on a sacrifice bunt, but two batters later allowed Lauren Galavotti to hit a fly ball deep enough to score the runner from third for the go-ahead run. The hawks added four more runs in the fram, setting up the win.
The Wildcats' comeback fell short in the bottom half of the inning, but made enough noise to make it interesting. With Kayla Carrow placed at second base to start the innings, Meghan Logullo singles to put runners on first and third. Two batters later, Jessica Hassman grounded out to short, but scored Carrow from third. During the next at-bat, Logullo came home to score on a passed ball to pull within three runs. Headley and Berger kept the inning alive with back-to-back singles to put runners on first and second and bring the tying run to the plate. But Cormier was able to finagle her way out of her second jam in as many innings for the win.
Headley finished 2-for-4 while Shelby Thompson, Berger, Stafford, and Logullo accounted for the teams other four hits. Warrington pitched 7.2 innings, allowing six runs (one earned) on seven hits before giving way to Danielle Griffin who pitched the final out of the eighth.
Griffin returned to the circle to start the second game of the day as the Wildcats squared off against the University of Mary.
Mary took its first lead of the game in the second inning, as Brittney Hadley hit a solo shot to right center off Griffin to open the scoring. But the Wildcats quickly responded in the bottom half of the inning to take the lead with one swing of the bat. Berger led off the inning with a walk, followed immediately by Stafford's two-run shot to left center to make it a 2-1 ball game in the second.
The Marauders (6-6) responded just as fast, however, in the next half inning. With two outs and a runner on first, Mary connected with a single and back-to-back doubles to score three runs and retake the lead.
Chelsea Botsch was inserted into the circle to start the fourth inning and only allowed one runner to reach base. She struck out eight batters over the next four innings, shutting down the Marauder attack.
Wilmington's best opportunity came in the bottom of the seventh inning as they continued to face a tiring Erin Keen. Berger worked a leadoff walk before Stafford also worked a walk to put runners on first and second and no outs. Kinsley Parker advanced the runners 60 feet with a sacrifice bunt and two batters later Carrow loaded the bases with another walk, putting the winning run on first base. But Keen buckled down and got Logullo to ground out, ending the rally and the game.
Stafford's home run was the lone hit for the Wildcats and was the first home run of the season for the team. Griffin pitched three innings giving up four runs on four hits with two strikeouts before handing it over to Botsch.
Keen threw all seven innings for Mary, striking out nine batters, but allowing six walks on the afternoon. Both runs off Keen were earned.
The Wildcats will see a familiar face tomorrow, as they continue their 23-game trip in Florida. They will square off against West Virginia Wesleyan at 1 p.m. before battling conference foe Dominican in a nonconference matchup at 5 p.m.

Red Bull master designer Adrian Newey has mocked Formula 1′s new engine rules, claiming they have produced slower cars without achieving the intended green goals.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix, Newey — who designed the cars that won Red Bull the past four drivers' championships — said the new 1.6 liter V6 turbo hybrid engines have increased costs and slowed down the cars for little benefit.
