I got these open box from Circuit City for $100 each ($200 for the pair). I bought a Sony STR-DE197 200W Stereo Amplifier/Receiver for them, and hooked them up to an Advent ASW1200 100W 12" Powered Subwoofer that I bought off Amazon a while back. I'm telling you, these things are absolutely amazing. I run them off my computer with a Creative X-Fi Platinum sound card, and the sound quality and clarity is unmatched. The highs are very rich and crisp, and the mids are very strong. The lows could use some work, but considering they're bookshelf speakers, I really can't complain, and the 12" sub more than compensates. I would recommend these to anyone who's looking for a very solid performing set of speakers.

I am currently using these speakers in a stereo music setup but intend to switch them to a home theater application. They deliver excellent midrange and midbass. I find the soundstage a little lacking and that there is not much "air" in the sound - probably the result of the tweeter rolling off at higher frequencies. Overall it has the characteristic Polk sound which is mellow and not fatiguing. I recommend them heartily to users who are looking for value rather than perfection. They are well built and attractive with decent quality binding posts with the ability to biamp them via a second set of posts.

These speakers were better than i expected. They produce good deep tones that you wouldnt expect out of such a small speaker. Im only running them out of a stereo 200 watt amp and they still sound very good. Also when i hooked them up to the tv the sound was also very good. They were the first Polk speakers ive gotten and would consider more after these.
