Price Paid:
$65.00
from a Pawn shop Summary:
First off, killer deal from a pawn shop. Sometimes, you just get lucky like this. I paid 65$ for the PAIR! lol Awsome. I'm a college student and I've got a (kinda) small bedroom. I've got these R40's hooked up with my RM6800 5.1 set, running from an Onkyo 602. Great, great, sound for the room. Killer even. I've got a Samsung 23" LCD HDTV as well, with my Sony DVP-NS75H Upconverter DVD Player. I absolutely love my setup. Couldn't be happier! Strengths:
Great sound, if you have an amp, the bass even sounds good. Weaknesses:
None for the price I paid! Similar Products Used:
Infinity, Bose, Cerwin Vega, Harmon Kardon, Sony, Onkyo

Review 3 of 34
Price Paid:
$229.00
from Circuit City Summary:
I have to admit, I bought these speakers realizing that they were a compromise to what I'm used to hearing. My brother had just married and I let him have the B&Ws we had bought together.
The problem with these speakers (and the R50 that I upgraded to, hoping there was a big difference to be had) is they strike me with such an average sound that it's hard to describe. The bass is OK, a little muddy. The mids aren't warm or silky, they're just represented well enough for you to know they're there. And the highs are 'gimmicky' in nature.
In a home theatre set-up, these weaknesses are as immediately apparent, but the second you throw in a Patricia Barber CD, you'll notice that there's no passion to the recording.
I've been auditioning speakers since, ( B&W Nautilus 805's, and Linn Ninka's are high on my list now...) and will part with these as soon as possible. Strengths:
For the price, you get what you pay for. Weaknesses:
For the price, you (again) get what you pay for. Similar Products Used:
In this price range: JBL, Advent, Atlantic Technology, Cerwin-Vega, Yamaha
Other Price Ranges: Dynaudio, Sonus Faber, Theil, B&W, Linn

Review 4 of 34
Price Paid:
$129.00
from C. City Summary:
I was looking for a set of front floor speakers that would compliment a Sony A/V reciever with a Sony 5 disc and JVC DVD player, and Im 21 and in college so price and quality are two hard things to put together. These R40's by Polk Audio came through really nice. Great professional look, and outstanding mid and highs for movies and metal music. The speakers were designed soley for mid's and high's and that is what they deliver. Must own a subwoffer to make these work to their potential. They're an excellent speaker for the money, I would recommend them anyday! Strengths:
Professional Look, Excellent midrange and tweets. Price! Weaknesses:
Lack bass, but thats not what their made for :) Similar Products Used:
