What is the deal with Polk Speakers

[Twitch9]

I have read so many forms and seen so many HT with Polk speakers. I am wandering why people think these are the greatest speakers of all time. They are nice speakers don't get me wrong but if i was looking at purchasing new ones they would be the last speaker on my list. For the money Polk are overprice for what you get and there are better speakers out there for the same price. I think the major problem with a lot of the forms on this site is people push these speakers onto newbies that don't know better and are looking for a quick answer and to fit in with the crowd.

Just my thoughts
