 Absolutely AMAZING. January 30, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I got these open box from Circuit City for $100 each ($200 for the pair). I bought a Sony STR-DE197 200W Stereo Amplifier/Receiver for them, and hooked them up to an Advent ASW1200 100W 12" Powered Subwoofer that I bought off Amazon a while back. I'm telling you, these things are absolutely amazing. I run them off my computer with a Creative X-Fi Platinum sound card, and the sound quality and clarity is unmatched. The highs are very rich and crisp, and the mids are very strong. The lows could use some work, but considering they're bookshelf speakers, I really can't complain, and the 12" sub more than compensates. I would recommend these to anyone who's looking for a very solid performing set of speakers.

"A chain is only as strong as its weakest link"..the sound quality of speakers are only as good as the equipment they are connected to.My opinion of these speakers are based on many years of experience with a wide range of speakers and there hook up options.To get the best sound quality from these Polks speakers they must be connected using the Bi-wire approach (Read manual for hook up instructions).Secondly,they must be broken in for at lease 24hrs of playing music putting your cd player on repeat.If your equipment is made by reputable companies with a reputation for audiophile quality parts,you will be very happy with these speakers.I can't tell you how good these speakers sound because sound quality is relative,relative to the equipment you have and the type of music one listen to.Finally,these speakers provide excellent midrange and highs a quality subwoofer ie Yamaha or Velodyne is required for low frequency.

They have a very rich sound and I am using them as the front speakers for my AV sourround sytem. Had to get a bracket to mount them to the wall. There is no "key hole" on the back to mount them with.

These speakers were better than i expected. They produce good deep tones that you wouldnt expect out of such a small speaker. Im only running them out of a stereo 200 watt amp and they still sound very good. Also when i hooked them up to the tv the sound was also very good. They were the first Polk speakers ive gotten and would consider more after these.
