I bought this as a 20th birthday gift to myself and a reward for quitting smoking. It's amazing that a system of this price. This speaker(and the rest of my polks) are a daily reminder of how there are better things to spend my money on than...

The only thing I have noticed, is at high bass volumes the speaker makes a wooo wooo noise. Which is the only thing that I have come not to like about it

Polk CS20! Aural Delight!

My Home Theater is evolving and my bank balance is decreasing! I still needed to buy a new center channel to match my new Polk R50 towers that i had just purchased. It is important when buying speakers that the fronts, meaning the center and the left...
