Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $700.00 from American

Summary:
Ok for mid to low end setup. But they suck if you are running high power to the rears/sides. Polk says they should be set to small, what a joke for a flagship speaker. Polk must think you only need to hear half the program from the side channels. Might as well go back to Pro Logic! Worthless for SACD and DVD-A. They went up in smoke as soon as started a track from a DVD-A which is a little hard on the side channels. Back they go!!!! The impedance is also too low for most receivers and may burn out channels. They are rated at 4ohm but I am sure they go down much lower at higher volumes. As my Pioneer VSX Elite 49tx shut down as soon as I started to turn them up. Had to switch to a Bryston 4b to give them the current they need for such low impedance. What happened to POLK they once made a pretty good product? Like the SRS line! Little chince one the drivers but overall a great product!

Strengths:
Look OK OK for sound effects (movies) but NOT for SACD OR DVD-A

Weaknesses:
Everything except above. $400.00 speaker for a grand what a deal!

Similar Products Used:
Definitive Technology BPVX Same price 3 times the speaker!

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
