Default Polk Monitor 5 Speaker System - sounds so good!

Polk Monitor 5 Speaker System, $169pr

Image: http://members.aol.com/KDresch/polk5.html

Here is a speaker that helped develop Polk's reputation for fine speakers - the
Monitor Series. The Monitor 5 is made up of a 6.5" woofer/mid driver, 8"
passive low frequency radiator and silver wire dome tweeter. The woofer uses a
butyl rubber surround. This series of Polks were one of their most succesful
ever. They helped give Polk the fine reputation they enjoy to this day. When
you hear it you know why - surprisingly low bass, clear mids and a silky high
end. This is one of my favorites in the Monitor line, ample bass in a compact
cabinet with that super airy Polk highend from the silver coil dome tweeter.
The cabinets measure 10 1/2"w x 23 1/2"h x 9"d. This pair has walnut vinyl
cabinets with a dark brown grills. I would grade them 9+ out of 10 on
cosmetics, near mint! Acoustically perfect with working drivers. Original
drivers are all perfect cosmetically and functionally. Polk logos intact on
near perfect grills. These were taken well care of and it shows. Satisfaction
Guaranteed. It would be hard to match this compact speakers sound quality, at
this price, in a new speaker sold today. Original list $320 pr. from 1979-84.
Only $169 pr. plus shipping

As usual, McCarty the fraudster misquotes from Orion, actionably damaging
Orion's reputation.
These Polk speakers are a very fine value.

RIPOFF ALERT!

*****VALUE ALERT!!!*****
The above post is a forgery by Brian L. McCarty, who is infringing on the
intellectual property and trademarks of Orion Bluebooks, Inc. He is not
authorized to represent Orion in any way. McCarty, who is a habitual
identity theif, has not posted under his own name for about a year.

Now, after the failure of his two great scams, Coral Sea Studios and
WorldJAZZ.CON, Brian may very well spend the rest of his life scooping ice
cream in Cairns, Australia.

My condolences to Brian,
Bob Morein
Chairman, WorldJAZZ

His website has become increasingly a joke, but you can't use too many
nails, so here goes again:

Brian, we understand that you are a pariah.
Definition: a pariah is an outcast. You are someone so odious, you have no
friends.
Not even Jeff Wexler is your friend anymore.
He may be polite to you, but behind your back, he hates you for the
embarassment you have caused.

So we understand, this is why you hate humanity.
People who hate humanity are EVIL.
You, Brian L. McCarty, are EVIL
Brian L. McCarty = EVIL.

But we have made you pay a price.
We stopped the WorldJAZZ fraud cold.

Brian continues to ramp up the fake number of subscribers -- momentum is key
to an investment scam. Currently, the number stands at 70% subscribed.
What will he do when he reaches 100% ?

Wrap it around to zero?
Start a new IPO?
Recruit new fake people?

You're sooo entertaining, Brian, as you continue to lather on the malarkey.
I love this line: "OTC PINK SHEET LISTING CONFIRMED"
There's just one problem: You don't have a symbol.

and this one:
"SEE YOUR PHONEBANK MANAGER FOR SPECIAL
"OVER THE TOP" COMMISSION PAYOUTS PAID WEEKLY"

If you ever do get serious, Brian, we'll bust your ass.

Stay tuned for the amusing antics of Brian L. McCarty, the world's most
inept scammer.

Brian L. McCarty has established yet another front in his endless quest to
defraud investors with http://www.worldjazz.com
In case you are not familiar with this deception, various outfits around
Asia will provide you with a prestigious address and a maildrop, for a very
small monthly fee. This allows Brian to have the appearance of a worldwide
presence, even though he's actually confined to one substandard condo at 65
Vasey Esplanade, Trinity Beach, Cairns, Australia.

Brian's new "virtual office" is:

ASIAN REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE:
BENSON MILLER DUPONT INC.
CP TOWER - 33 SALOM ROAD
BANGKOK 10500 THAILAND

The death of WorldJAZZ.com...

The latest news is for the umteenth time, Brian L. McCarty has changed the
details of his TOTALLY FALSE web registration. He has (temporarily) put his
faithful sockpuppet "David Ellison" into storage, and replaced it with
"Huang, Ying Hong"

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have informed me that no
documents have ever been filed for WorldJAZZ.

With his WorldJAZZ scam in the spotlight, Brian L. McCarty is attempting to
avoid public embarassment by bringing it to a close as quickly as possible.

In recent days, he's been racheting up the subscription numbers;
"70% SUBSCRIBED AS OF MARCH 5th, 2004"
This, of course, is a complete lie.

McCarty is running a big risk here.
If he allows the scam to go on too long, the regulatory authorities might
catch him.
If he folds tomorrow, he'll know (as if we don't) that he's nothing more
than a bad joke. But he can't allow his detractors to turn him into Jay Leno
material, so he will quickly finish the "subscription".

In recent days, McCarty has added two fictitious people to his website:
1. " Ron Groove Davis", who McCarty originally created as "Wes Groove Davis"
2. "Alexei Afonin" (notelephonin) ?
These are added to "Krishna Mahbren", who was created from a living person,
Krishna Mahadoo.

In the meantime, it has been verified that McCarty has an extremely bad
reputation in Cairns, where local businessmen regard him with suspicion.
Communication continues on this subject.

Brian L. McCarty is currently attempting investment fraud. McCarty is an
American citizen, living as an expatriate in Australia. Please read below
for the
details.

The website is remarkable in that it does not contain a single truthful
statement. It changes constantly. Always prominent are nonexistent people
as frontmen, and affiliation with nonexistent events. Previous versions have
also featured fictional alliances with large companies, and with nonexistent
companies. From time to time, McCarty also steals the names of actual people
to decorate his websites. For example, in the case of
http://www.coralseastudios.com , my name, Robert Morein, was once featured
as
an "endorsement."

From the current version of the website:

IPO ALLOCATIONS NOW UNDERWAY

Live broadcast planned September 22-25, 2004.

Brian L. McCarty lives at 65 Vasey Esplanade, Trinity Beach, Cairns,
Queensland, Australia.
His current website, http://www.worldjazz.com, is a farrago of lies,
fictitious
front people, and nonexistent associations. Speculation as to why McCarty
viciously attacks individuals who at the worst, might have slight
irregularities in business registrations, revolves around his suddenly
leaving the United States in the late 1990's. One rumor has it that McCarty
was about to be charged with a sex crime, and that he avoided prosecution by
leaving. It is possible McCarty paid off the victim's family.

Once in Australia, McCarty founded Coral Seas Studios, which quickly became
financially insolvent. Perhaps the major backer, ABN Amro, already detected
anomalies in McCarty's personality. Following that business failure, which
became a minor issue in the reelection of P.M. John Howard, McCarty
concentrated on funding a second initiative, "WorldJAZZ", a scheme for
Internet broadcasting. But with his reputation damaged and cut off from
legitmate business activity, McCarty's predatory tendency came more to the
fore. His website became ever more devious in an attempt to lure investors.

In 2003, notices appeared in several online publications that McCarty was
producing jazz broadcast material for Gene Parrish
(http://www.worldwidejazz.com ) Notices appeared in a publication of the
Embassy of France, and in one other publication. Mr. Parrish is a noted NPR
jazz broadcast host. When contacted, it was apparent that Parrish had never
heard of McCarty. While I cannot prove that McCarty posted these bogus
notices, he certainly had the motive to do so.

Following the exposure of the false producing notices, McCarty's name
completely vanished from the Internet. He resorted entirely to false
identities to create business partners who do not exist. As of 1/14/03, a
quick glance at http://www.worldjazz.com, discloses the following:

(Note: the following actually applies to the version of the website prior to
1/20/04, but it is relevant nevertheless:

1. Clicking on the banner "WorldJAZZ" produces an unresolved link to K1
Ventures, the largest venture capital company in Singapore. In discussion
with that company's secretary, she disavowed any connection between them and
McCarty, and was shocked at his implication that they were involved.

2. "Dr. Krishna Mahbren" is derived from a real person, Krishna Mahadoo,
V.P. of Beverly Hills Film Studios, a pink-sheet stock. McCarty cruises the
Internet for companies that don't answer the phone. McCarty made Mahadoo an
employee of that company's stock transfer agent, First American Stock
Transfer of Phoenix. When I pointed this out in a usenet post and notified
Mr. Mahdoo by mail, McCarty changed the company to "First American Stock of
Denver." Then he changed Mahadoo to Mahbren, and tacked on a "Dr." to the
phony name.

3. The claim that Moscow Central TV is to use material supplied by WorldJAZZ
is doubtful, as they were notified by mail. This claim has been made for the
better part of a year. When the date expires, McCarty simply creates a new
one.

4. "Event Sponsorship 2nd Year Running". This event does not exist. There is
no "Jersey Jazz Bass Festival." Previously, the website has exhibited a link

to the Island of Jersey in the English Channel. This locale has a surf
fishing festival, the Jersey Bass festival. There is no music festival. In
the past, association was advertised with "jazz musician" Peter Thliveros,
who is, in fact, a professional bass fisherman, not a musician.

5. The website is registered to "David Ellison", a fictitious person. In
the past, many different fictitious persons have been used, in conjunction
with yahoo mailboxes. Among McCarty's aliases, we have: Krishna Mahadoo,
Anthony Ramallo, David Ellison, David C.L. Feng, Ying Hong Huang, Lee
Hodges, Melinda Hsu, Melinda Shu, Robert Morein, Robert X Morein, Sylvan
Morein, Sylvan X Morein, et al.

6. The website morphs constantly. McCarty combs the Internet for identities
to steal. He chooses victims who do not represent themselves on the Web, and
are not easily reached by phone.

7. McCarty's other website, http://www.coralseastudios.com, has a similar
history. In the past, McCarty has actually used MY name as an endorsement,
apparently as a taunt, even though it makes extremely bad business sense.
Fortunately, Coral Seas went belly up, although the website lives on as a
zombie.

The obvious question is, if McCarty is so anxious to scam, why does he make
a constant racket under easily detectable fictitious names? It appears that
part of McCarty's mental illness is a distortion of reality. McCarty has an
obsession with the formal aspects of registering a business. To him, the "in
print" appearance is all that counts. It doesn't occur that people can
detect the reality that lies beyond. To McCarty fictitious names and posting

aliases are a real shield, just like a cat will crawl into a shopping bag to
hide.

McCarty had an early scheme for Internet radio. He claims to have sold
musical performance properties and/or a business plan to Black Entertainment
Television for $9.2M. Subsequently, he left Los Angeles. One unsubstantiated
rumor is that he left to avoid prosecution for a sex crime, presumably by
paying off the victim or family. Once in Australia, he made the acquaintance
of the brother of P.M. John Howard, who introduced him to contacts at ABN
Amro, an investment banking firm. They created a business plan for some kind
of a sound studio, still represented by the website
http://www.coralseastudios.com. After approximately a year, ABN withdrew
from partnership, but left the studio project still solvent. Some time
later, it went bankrupt or nearly so, owing $270,000 to it's employees. At
this point, Australia's entitlement law kicked in, paying the employees
monies owed them, with the exception of codirectors McCarty and Jeff Wexler.

It would appear that McCarty's enterprises failed because he has some kind
of mental imbalance, which exhibits signs of both schizophrenia and
obsessive-compulsive disorder. The impersonations which he makes of me are
a fraction of the numerous identities which he has used in the past, and
continues to use, on occasion, in the present. McCarty may actually believe
he is the person who he impersonates. Many of the identities are of
elaborate construction, taking some six months or more to take shape.
McCarty seems to have a magical belief that use of false identities provides
a shield.

But why would McCarty want to escape his own identity so badly? Speculation
centers around the possibility that he did something not socially acceptable
in Los Angeles.
