-Rich clear lows, mids, and highs. -Good sound reproduction. -Spikes in response curve, but good for price. **UPDATE** I really love these speakers. I originally took a star off because they did tend to shut-down my amp, but after investing in some...

-Big... They are big speakers. -They take a lot of power to run properly. My amp was fairly upset (RX-V1500), but I managed to get it to work (overload if I REALLY blast them). **UPDATE** After using for over a year, the cons are the same but don't...

Best speaker you are going to find at this price range. The bass is exceptional if you have a powerful enough receiver. I didn’t think these produced a lot of bass until I upgraded from a Denon AVR-1912 to Onkyo TX-NR838. I ran these in Full Band Mode,...

None that I can think of.

Excellent bang for the buck. I got mine for $149.99 ea. and free shipping. Have had Polk for a long time so I'm biased, but they still sound better than other speakers costing hundreds more. Set up right, they have one of the best soundstages around,...

The only con I can think of is that I would like to have seen adjustable spikes incorporated into the feet. The fixed hard plastic spikes used have to be shimmed on hard floors. a pita!

Let me start by saying that I am a 50 year old male that has been listening to music since a very young age. Like many I have seen and heard some very good systems over the years. But like many I never wanted to spend the money to have those type...

Cant say that I have found any weaknesses.

Straight to the point---- connect these to a powerful amplifier. I recommend ADCOM GFA555 Add a KLIPSCH sw-112 subwoofer (because u will need one. These speakers are slim and have 4 drivers and a tweeter and sound great but I don't care what anyone...

Polk audio makes better speakers but for the price you cannot beat these. Side note... Polk audio speakers are awesome but their powered subwoofers suck! For subs go with KLIPSCH.

They sound great and have not gone through breakin yet. The speakers were packed well and very easy hookup and for the price they would be hard to beat. I purchased 2 of them

No cons

I have had these speakers for a few years. I have pushed them hard for 5 straight hours( house party). Playing a variety of music. No fade, buzzing, or popping. The tones are mellow not sharp and metallic sounding. I have a set of 4. If, you are going...

If, I am going to reach for a negative. It may be the height of the speaker. Measure your potential placement before you buy.

Very Cristal clear sound, amazing look, they are build to last. Great bass to you don't really need a very loud subwoofer with those. At that price you cant beat this, i decide to buy another one today since its on sale, buy with confidence you wont...

This speaker are big, make sure to check the spect before buying, its about 50lbs each this is the suprise every time with polk audio, they look smaller in the picture, but it is not a cons, i really love it and wont complaint at all.

For the money it will be impossable to beat these, after a month I'm convinced the only thing that can sound better than these 70's is the Angels singing in heaven, so until then

Absolutly none
