Polk Audio - TSx Series Dual 8" 3-Way Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Each) - Black

i was looking for a speaker brand to use in a 5.1 setup(70% music,30% movies),my budget for the system was 2,000. I wanted a speaker that produced clear,accurate mid's and highs,and a tight, but well rounded bottom end. I listen to a little bit of everything,and also like to throw a few parties,so i wanted a speaker that was very versatile.After doing a lot of research online,looking at specs,reading reviews like this one for the surrounds (hometheaterreview.com/polk-tsx220b-bookshelf-speakers-reviewed/),and then going to Best Buy to do some listening tests,i decided on the Polk TSX 550's(760.00 for the pair on sale) as the choice for my main speakers. Even stacked up against more expensive DefTech's,Martin Logans, Bowers & Wilkins,and even the Polk Audio RTi A7's, the TSX 550's were more than up to the challenge,they just did everything well. Aesthetically they are an impressive looking,well built speaker,with 5 drivers,including 2- 8" woofers, each measuring almost 4 ft,and weighing 59 pds! I bought them home thinking i would return them after a few weeks if they didn't sound as good in my home. Well 2 months later and here i am writing this review.They are even better sounding now after being broken in and i couldn't be happier. I have paired them with the TSX 150c center channel(150.00 on sale),PSW110 sub(125.00 on sale),the above mentioned TSX 220 B's(283.00 the pair),and a Yamaha TSR 7650(480.00),all for under 2,000. If you want a speaker that sounds good for both music and movies,is efficient at low levels but can fill a room if needed,that has a warm,accurate sound,not too bright,and not too boomy,then look no further than the Polk Audio TSX 550's. Don't take my word for it however,go ahead and listen for yourself.

The speakers worked much better than I expected them to,l.

I was expecting great sounds but I have to say, these speakers is beyond great. They are awesome.

Best Buy should have these speakers in the Magnolia Room, however I'm sure that they wouldn't do these because they'd have a hard time selling speakers in that room at higher prices. These speakers sound good at low volume, however the more you throw at them they handle. After break in period the bass reflex is awesome.If these were placed next speakers in double price range they still out shine. Been a happy customer 6 months into use.

I use two of these for my turntable set up and could not be happier with them. They sound amazing. Highly recommended.
