What's great about it: Good mid range sound
What's not so great: Larger than they need to be
Not a bad pair of speakers. Good midrange frequency. Look nice. I suggest you pair with a decent sub for some nice bass and a capable center channel for the highs.

What's great about it: Great sound for the money.
What's not so great: Not much in the way of bass.
I picked up these speakers from my local best buy as open box return items. They were discounted to $229 each, which was similar to most online pricing.
After setting them up at home I was amazed by the power and clarity of these speakers. I have them bi-amped on my reciever to provide ample power, and the crossover set at 80 Hz to a powered subwoofer, to avoid distorting the mids and highs. They sound excellent with this setup, and have ramped them to considerable volume without distortion. Even if I set them a full range, they do not actually provide much in the way of bass. To really extend to the lower frequencies they should be paired with a powered subwoofer. If you want some bass without investing in a powered subwoofer, it may be better to look at the Ti500 model.
The nice piano black finish on the top and slim profile blends very well with the rest of my home theater set up.

I bought these floorstanding speakers at Best Buy, Once these bad boys are broken in, say hello to loud, deep, punchy, distortion free bass with ridiculous midrange and crystal clear highs no matter how loud it goes up. I love these so much I bought the matching bookshelf and center channel. You cannot go wrong, these speakers are so sonically matched, you can't tell which speaker is where, the whole room is full of sound equally. Excellent product, way more than worth the money.

I started with only these speakers on a Onkyo 7.1 100w receiver. They really surprised me with the clarity of sound and the wide range of frequencies they can handle. I know it may sound funny, but I noticed how great they sounded when I played Pac-Man Dx on my PS3. If you don't know Pac-man DX has a techno beat that is fully of mids, lows, and highs. Since I didn't have a sub I put the speakers at 60hz. They handled the lows pretty well, but the mids and highs were awesome. My friends though I bought a sub (Sneaky LOL). Now I have the entire system put together and it sounds awesome. I have the TSi100's, CS10, and a deftech 1000 sub. My room is a decent size ( 15x10 I believe) and it sounds so good. The TSi400's just are awesome. I put them at 80hz and they just seem to compliment the center channel so well. I would recommend these to anyone who has the money to buy them. You will not regret it. If you are a person that loves to turn your system to the max, make sure you properly set your crossover on your reciever. The tweeter does not like bass. (That's with any tweeter though.)

What's great about it: Price, Overall Clarity, Sensitivity, Looks
What's not so great: Low Frequency Bass Reproduction
I got these in the mail a few days ago and have been listening to them quite a bit since then, I wouldn't call them broken in, but I like how they sound already. They're a good sized speaker, in terms of floorstanders, I'd call them medium sized, 39 inches tall I believe, about 7 wide and maybe a foot deep,
Sound quality wise they are quite nice, I usually test my speakers by playing my Yamaha P155 Digital piano through them, and for the first time I was thoroughly impressed with the reproduction I got, sound for sound, I heard almost no difference between the actual sound of the piano, and what was coming out of the speakers, I was actually pleasantly surprised with the sound I got,
I have these speakers as fronts in my 7.1 system, a B&W center channel, and a set of Klipsch quintets as surrounds, and a Klipsch SW-350 (odd combination yes) and they sound quite nice, the only downside to them is they are quite weak in the bass reproduction side of things, luckily my sub more than accounts for this weakness, and when I use the straight mode of my Yamaha A1000 receiver it sounds wonderful, especially at high volumes, using a sub with these speakers is a must for music.
They are quite loud, last night for example, I watched Ironman on bluray, and had the volume set for the background music, and when the first explosion happened (recorded much louder than the music) it nearly gave me a heart attack, although the sound that did it was crisp, clean, and free of any distortion ;)

All in all I'm quite happy with these speakers, bang for your buck wise they are wonderful. One thing I am not as pleased about is that, when Bi-amping them I wasn't able to tell any difference. Luckily, I liked them before I decided to Bi=amp, i just thought it couldn't hurt. Even with the small cons I mentioned, these speakers are more than worth the $175 a pop that I got them for. A great buy.

What's great about it: Look great, sound better
What's not so great: no not so greats at all.
I bought these to match the CS10 center and PSW110 I had purchased the previous holiday season. These were replacing Yamaha floorstanding speakers that still CRANK with 1" dome tweeter, 4 1/2" mid and 12" woofers. Adding these TSi 400 and TSi 100 as rears to replace Polk T15's. Matching up all my speakers in my home theater made it sound wonderful. It already sounded great with the lesser rears and (i can't say lesser) other fronts. The sound difference between the TSi's and the Yamahas is certainly noticeable, and I love these for home theater and music. They're very crisp and clean sounding and for not having a large woofer do provide a decent bass punch even without the sub. The sub is great for high action movies and bass heavy music, but these perform great as stand alones. Eventually I'd like to have both these and the Yamahas hooked up. The Yamahas for 2 channel music listening as "b" speakers and these for everything else, surround sound music as well as movies. I would definitely recommend these, they do sound stunning. Unless you're a card carrying audiophile with big money to spend, these will dazzle your ears and create and enveloping movie experience when teamed with an ample reciever etc.

Read reviews on this speaker, compared price, went to Best Buy and listened to TSI400's vs its higher priced competitors, I preferred the TSI400's. I now have a very clean/clear sounding speaker for my front surround sound system. If you’re looking for a good all around floor speaker just compare the sound quality and I think you'll agree.

What's great about it: The sound clarity at a high volume and the bass you get after the speakers are worn in.
What's not so great: Nothing, Polk is the best brand to buy.
I hooked up a pair of these bad boys and a pair of the $100.00 Polk bookshelf speakers to a Pioneer receiever and they sound amazing. I tried to see how loud I could get the speakers to go before the sound became distorted and it never did!! I had to turn it back down before my eardrums busted. (FYI- my receiver has more than enough power for these speakers) It's great for TV, movies, music and video games. I had a Yamaha surround sound setup that was awesome but, the Polk speakers put them to shame, seriously.
(Again, FYI the 300s sounded great) If you have the money to get any brand Best But has to offer go with Polk. The Klipche(spell check) spearkers are overrated and hurt your ears. Bose are also overrated and you are just paying for the name.

What's great about it: Small with big sound, price
What's not so great: subwoofer required for best sound
These speakers have a very clear sound to them. I tried the Klipsch speakers but ended up returning them because the horns were just too much for my ears. With the polks, I am hearing sounds I have never heard before in Blu-Ray movies. With a CS-10 center channel and the tsi300 for surrounds, the system is perfectly matched. I highly recommend getting these speakers. They aren't hard on your ears like Klipsch speakers. My only advice is to make sure you have a subwoofer to round out the lower end.

What's great about it: The sound and looks go hand and hand together...GREAT
What's not so great: nothing
I listened to these speakers versus the Klipsch towers the week of Thanksgiving because I had seen online that the Klipsch were going to be 50% off on Black Friday. Well, after listening to these and the other speakers in the same series, TSI/CS, I knew that I liked the way the Polks sounded over the Klipsch. I just didn't like the way the horn tweeters sounded on the Klipsch. And the Polks just look amazing. So I got the CS10 first and then I got the 400's. They were $100 off for a pair, which I think is good until the end of the month. Next I am going to get the TSI100's for the rears. I can't wait......

I listened to these side by side with a Klipsch set, and honestly liked the Polk better, not to mention I saved myself some cash. LOVE these speakers paired with my Polk CS 20 Center, and my Polk PSW-111 Sub, which are all paired to my Denon AVR790 receiver. The only upgrade I need now is some new rears to replace my Bose 161s at some time. But for now the system sounds incredible!

What's great about it: Provide a clear sound at reasonable levels with acceptable bass
What's not so great: they could be have a clearer sound at loud volumes
At reasonalbe listening levels these speakers sound amazing. They put out a great sound when watching movies or playing music, but I think they really shine when playing music. Speakers deliver a clear and accurate sound. Great value and would recommend to a friend. Last note, they definately sound better bi-amped if you have the capability.

What's great about it: Great clarity
What's not so great: Can't think of anything
These speakers have excellent overall balance. I like chamber music, and the sounds of the stringed instruments blend beautifully. The highs, mids, and lows seem to blend as one. That characteristic is what separates these speakers from others. They probably are not a 'rock' speaker, but if you like chamber music they are great. I would listen to this characteristic when auditioning them. You can spend a lot more money on a speaker that will not give you as much satisfaction. +

These were bought to replace my yamaha HTB front channel speakers. Right here is a great upgrade, till I finally move up to the 4 digit price for speakers. Though the center channel speakers wasn't in at the time, thats okay for now. Though these drown out the dialouge so replacing the center channel speaker is gonna have to be next.
