Polk TL1600

Newegg price fluctuates a lot, I got it when it was at 50% off, so keep watching. They ship fast and reliable too.

Surrounds are amazing. Solid construction, sleek design, and very loud and sturdy

Subwoofer is lacking. I have a rather large living area and I wish I would have purchased a larger sub. Also the sub doesn't turn off in auto when I turn everything else off. Has a rather annoying buzzing sound when everything else is off and the sub...
