What's great about it: Room filling sound, clarity, price.....
What's not so great: Power sensitvity.....Seems to take a little more juice than others I have owned.
I just purchased/wired my first pair of home use Polk Audio "TSi100" speakers to my Carver CM-1090 integrated amplifier. They replaced a set of vintage Bose 301s and they surprised me with the clarity/crispness of the highs and mids are very detailed. As with most bookshelf speakers in this price range they require seperate bass enclosure to round out the low end. The room they are located in is a small home office so these speakers fill it completely.....First song played, Patience by GNR, Very Happy!!! Thank you Best Buy, why dont you have a store in Cheyenne, Wy?

What's great about it: Cherry wood grain.
What's not so great: A bit pricey.
Everything on my electronics shelf is black. So I got the cherry ones for a little bit of color. A little bit more pricey since I can't buy them in store.

What's great about it: Wonderful, crisp sound
What's not so great: lack some low end, but that's expected from a bookshelf
Overall I find the speakers to be absolutely brilliant. I purchased them early this year for my dorm room at college. I have some older, much larger floorstanding speakers at home that just wouldn't fit into the confined spaces of a dorm room. When I went in to BB to buy speakers, I had previously narrowed it down to the bose 301s and these. My brother owns a pair of 301s and they truly are amazing, but they only thing they have on these polks are a little more low-end. However, for $100 more than these, I find that the reward of a bit more bass isn't worth the price. Honestly, I prefer the sound of these over the bose, they fill in the mid ranges better and their highs aren't as harsh on the ears at loud volumes. I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Nice sound. Looks great.
What's not so great: A little big.
The TSi-100 is a great surround speaker. Very nice audio, handles the effects of a good movie very well. They look amazing. They are a little big so I would recommend to anyone that is going to purchase these online to at least go into a local BB and check them out and get a feel for the size. Other than that, very good speaker to compliment the TSi line.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Crisp Sound - Solid Casing - Strong In Both Highs & Lows
What's not so great: None
For the past three decades, Polk could only be found in high end audio stores. Thankfully, all of that has changed. Prices are competitive with other high end equipment. And I feel this brand is probably a close second to BOSE. I have these on small shelves near the ceiling of my basement. Since installing them several years ago, they have not lost their luster. The sound is excellent. The speakers seem to have a lot of stamina, and can handle new updates to sound systems. At first, I was wondering if I was even hearing them, but once I got into the center area of the room, Polk's voice became clear, and quite noticeable. The speakers don't strain. The speakers don't buzz or vibrate. They simply live up to their manufacturer's specs., and reputation. Highly recommended!
I would recommend this to a friend!
