Review 3 of 15

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Great speakers. I auditioned these side by side with a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitor V4s for more than a week in my living room - and hands down, I prefer these. Full mid range and high range. They are a little lacking at the low end - but that is expected with almost any bookshelf you get. I added a subwoofer and it has filled out the range perfectly. I enjoy an eclectic mix of music -- from hip hop to jazz to afro-cuban and these speakers can hold its weight in all departments.

These speakers sound like they cost 2-3x as much.

Highly recommended.

Review 5 of 15

Price Paid:  $200.00 from OneCall

Summary:
I needed inexpensive bookshelf speakers to replace a broken pair in a rental property, and the frequency response, sensitivity, and recommended amplifier power fit the bill. At this price, it was a no-brainer. I wasn't expecting them to sound this good - a little tinny on the top end the first few hours, but then they really opened up. Excellent bass, sweet, realistic, nuanced soprano voices, convincing piano. What really surprised me is that these little guys have a big, big sound for bookshelf speakers. I listened a few days with these placed on top of much more expensive floor-standing Triangle Antals, and decided the Polks would be fine for a main system - I was really enjoying listening to my CDs (jazz, blues, rock, classical). I switched back to the Antals today just to see what the difference was. The Antals have a richer, more complex, more balanced, subtler, more enveloping sound - not surprising, considering the price and size differences. The Polks are more in-your-face. In a way, the Polks can be more fun for certain kinds of music, if you're in the mood for less serious listening - vocals seem punchier.

Strengths:
Bass extension, natural timbres, overall smoothness, lack of stridency, big room-filling sound.

Weaknesses:
None at this price level

Similar Products Used:
