Ok, these are entry level bookshelf speakers that are very reasonably priced. Polk makes excellent products and are a great value. I've owned many pairs including M40, M50, S15, S20 and PSW505.
Every time I gotten a pair of Polks I've always been very impressed and thought "wow" what a great value. Until now. This is the first time I haven't been impressed right out of the box. Maybe they'll grow on me, but the sound is very flat and lifeless. You can tell the tweeters are not on par with their pricier offerings. I've EQ'ed them to try to bring them to life but so far, meh. If your going to "hide" them in the back of your 7.1 system or use them as garage speakers they'd be fine. If you can spring for the S15 I'd go there instead.

I have a Bang and Olufsen Beogram RX2 record player. The output are phono type components (see pic). I think they're also called RCA. Can I plug these connections directly into the speakers? Or will I need an amp?

Polk Audio - Signature Series S15 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black
Built to bring the big surround sound theater and music experience into the comfort of your living room, the Polk Signature S15 compact bookshelf speaker continues in the Polk tradition of American HiFi. Featuring Hi-Res certification, a new Dynamic Balance designed acoustic array, precision cross-overs, an anti-diffraction grille, modern cabinet styling and exclusive PowerPort technology, it delivers rich, clean, full-range sound in a totally re-imagined design. Supports latest hi-resolution audio files, plus Dolby & DTS surround technologies that ensure realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments. With patented PowerPort technology S15 delivers 3dB more bass response than a traditional ported speaker for your TV shows movies & music, while minimizing distortion. S15 speakers are timbre-matched to other Polk Audio floorstanding speakers, center channels & bookshelf speakers for seamless speaker-to-speaker blending effects in multi-channel systems. They can be used as front and/or surround speakers in a home theater setup, or work perfectly in a simple stereo system.
What is a 2-way speaker? What is a passive speaker?
A two way speaker refers to how many cones (speakers) are in each box. A woofer is the larger cone and produces the lower and mid tones. A tweeter is the smaller cone which handles the highest tones. An electronic device inside the speaker called a crossover determines what tones go to the woofer and what tones go to the tweeter. Passive simply means there is no internal amplifier in the speakers themselves and they must be driven by an amplifier or more commonly a stereo receiver. In the S15, these are an uncommonly good speaker for developing lows and highs. I highly recommend.
