Polk Audio R50 Floorstanding Speakers

 

I'm using 3 of these as my right, left and center speakers. I only paid $89.99 each at PC Richards. Unbelievable price for such a good sounding speaker. These turned out to be real game changers. Incredible sound and clear. But not harsh like some BIC...

Polk Audio R50 Floorstanding Speakers

 

These are pretty good speakers for the money. I'm pushing them with a Denon 3808ci and my amp gives these speakers all they can handle. Their rating is 150w max but they sound their best at 100w, at least with my receiver. When I approach the 10+...

I just picked these up not very long ago to replace my m20's as my front speakers. There sound is amazing good high to mid ton range. Overall I recommend these speakers who are looking for a pair of speakers in this price range.

These are very nice sounding speakers for there price range

Polk Audio R50 Floorstanding Speakers

 

Bought these for $65.00 each through Fry's. I defy anyone to find a better value for less than $150.00/pair. As far as reported tweeter problems go, the vast majority of tweeters are damaged from over driving an under powered amp, not because the...

Sounded good for about a day. Like another reviewer, I heard things in my music that I had never heard before. I rate these low because it only took a day for the tweeter in my pair to fail. Polk has diasapointed once before with quality, albeit in car...
