This system was selected after listening to several speaker systems in different sound stores.
My intention was to go for Bose speakers, but the cost of Bose was just out of reason for me.
Although I am still playing with the settings on my Amplifier and the speakers are not in the “Perfect” positions in the room, I am very satisfied with them.
The size is ideal. Pretty much the same size as Bose, and my hearing can’t tell the difference. I work with a hearing aid in one ear so I may not be the perfect person to comment on the quality.
There are two things I would change if I could.
1. The speakers are only available in black as a set, but you can buy them as a single speaker in an off white color. Most people probably wouldn’t care about this, but my wife does. She is very picky about how things look in the room and does not like things that jump out from the ordinary. If they were available as a set in the off white I probably would have had them a long time ago.
2. I needed one more speaker as my amplifier has one rear speaker. It would be nice if they were available as a set in 6.1 that would include this extra speaker. (The Polk site says they are available as a 6.1 and 7.1 system, but I could not find them in a store on on line in this configuration.)
Over all, I am pleased with the sound, and the price for the set was within reason, the extra speaker to complete the set was a little pricey.
Hope you enjoy yours if you purchase them, I definately am enjoying my set.

These sound and look great. They were cheapest on amazon and I am quite happy with them. I went to Best Buy to hear them against the competition, Yamaha’s and Onkyo’s no comparison. These blow them all away….

The Polk satellite speaker’s sound great what a deal I had purchased this speaker for my bedroom I wanted something small and compact and easy to install. Let start with the lows first. Speaker mounting brackets are not very well designed all thought they work and serve there purpose. Next complaint is the speaker wire connectors, they could be built with a little more thought in mind. Whit that said the speaker, performs and sounds amazing for the size and price. Highs are clear and crisp and lows are smooth and non scratchy. I v read many complaints about the subwoofer not being powerful enough but for my room and hardwood floors I am stuck turning the volume down to keep it in balance with the rest of the system ,so unless you’re a rapper I would say it sound more then efficient. Other features include a low pass control and a volume control knob. It also has a toggle switch for power on, auto, and off, and a toggle switch for the phase control. All in all these speaker are a great buy and sound very good with movies and music. Note these speakers are paired with a Pioneer elite vsx-23thx they have also been connected to a cheap RCA receiver which they performed well

I love the Polk Audio Home Theater System. I love coming home and watching a dvd and or listening to my music. The sound quality is crisp, clear and moving. I feel like I’m at the movies especially when the floor starts to vibrate. You know when a sound system is good is when your son brings his college friends home to watch a movie and doesn’t mind you being there. Quality at an affordable price is the best sound to my ears. I am sure there are even better system out there than this and at higher prices…who cares! I can’t say enough about how good the sound is. Oh… wait a minute yes I can. I was watching a movie with my dog Maxx. He was laying on the couch next to me when all of a sudden he jumps up and starts barking. Yes you got it, he thought there was another dog barking outside when it was only the movie. The barking Maxx heard was the background sound to a talking scene. Hmmm!!! What does that tell you about the clearity? Man’s best friend is proof that the sound is so real it can even fool an animal. I am so done with having to have to spend a lot of momey to get anything. I did my homework, asked the correct questions and I ended up with a sound system that would give the competitors a run for their money. Love it! The money I saved I went out and bought a new 54″ plasma tv. Happy New Year and good luck.

I have this system set up in a large 20X20 living space and only use the front, center and subwoofer channels. I haven’t wired my home for the back speakers yet but so far I am pleased with the quality of sound I get. Price has always been a factor as to why I have put off buying a speaker system for three years up til I researched and found this system. The only con that I have is the wire connections on the back of the speakers. They are a bit tasking.
