What's great about it: Excellent sound quality, especially for their size.
I purchased these at a smokin' sale price on BestBuy.com. The sound is full and crisp, with no detectable distortion at high volumes. I have them mounded in the upper corners of my walls, and the sound dispersement is excellent. Mounting versatility is a huge plus with these, as well as the built-in mounting slots on the back..
This product has... Right size for my space, Good build quality
About me... Audiophile, Tech savvy
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Sound is good.
What's not so great: Nothing
I purchased these to replace my little Bose speakers. The Polk speakers sound much better!! The sound is louder and more clear. I combined them with my Polk subwoofer and am enjoying my music.
The Polk speakers are light weight and easy to hook up to the speaker cables.

What's great about it: Cost and quality sound
What's not so great: Nothing
These are used as rear speakers for a 7.2 system. They deliver very good sound quality at an extremely reasonable price. Very high cost speakers may produce better quality, but I'm not willing to pay the diffrence to find out!

What's great about it: Very good sound for it's size. Easy to hang on the wall.
What's not so great: If not on sale, is a bit pricey
Bought a pair to replace the Bose 161's I was using as the rear surround for a 7.1 surround system. I rarely could distinguish the sound of the Bose from the Klipsch I was using for the surround right and left.
I could immediately tell the difference with these Polk speakers. They can be heard much better and sound much more like a real speaker than the Bose 161. The Bose are a nightmare to mount, these Polk just hang on a single bolt or screw.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Very nice sound, speakers are a bit bulkier then expected but does offer very nice and full sound.
What's not so great: For Satellite they are not very sleek but not terrible.
Bought with Polk package + Polk Audio 8" 300W Powered Subwoofer for free. Very nice sound deal for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Corner fit, great sound, multiple mounting options, nice finish.
What's not so great: May be too large for some people. Make sure you have a good receiver.
Bought these after getting my basement finished. Open box buy so I feel like I got a good deal. About half price. I run them off a yamaha receiver and they sound great. Had to switch the setting on receiver to reflect LARGE rear channel speakers. Highs are great and they dont echo like my old sonys did. Cant report on the bass because my sub drounds them out although I did not buy them for booming bass. They can be mounted quite a few ways or sat on a table and that really helps. Make sure you dont have a base model receiver or these may become underpowered. My center and mains are Cerwin vega and my sub is JBL and they sound great together so dont worry about a mismatched set. The price is competitive so I would get them without a doubt you should not be disappointed.
I would recommend this to a friend!
