Customer Ratings & Reviews

Can not go wrong with this Polk Audio 5-1/4 (Pair) Bookshelf Speakers. Especially when Best Buy cuts the price by half (from $99 down to $50). Got them to beef up my surround sound rear speakers.

I purchased these open box for $ 44 for the pair. They were in perfect shape. It's hard to believe you could get better sounding speakers for the price anywhere. Have them hooked up to a 70's vintage Pioneer SX 650 and they sound great.

I would highly recommend these speakers..the sound is great. Price was on target for my budget.

Wonderful addition to my system! The best starting to moderate level speakers. I have 3 sets of two.

Rich crisp sound from these little speakers will blow you away. It has nice highs for voice and even though the it's small it had a great bass sound. Well worth the money.

These bookshelf speakers have a very good and even sound. The produce very good highs and lows and are pretty loud and clear for their size a very good purchase

These speakers sound really good made a difference is our living room

Purchased these speakers on sale for $50 on Black Friday 2016. After doing extensive research comparing several sets of bookshelf speakers, I settled on these due to the price and respectable specs. The two main contenders were these and the Klipsch R-14M. I used these as front left and front right speakers in a 5.1 setup of a large bedroom, and I am ordering another set to replace my current rears in the same setup. Bass is surprisingly good when used as standalone in a stereo setup, and the highs and mids match well with a subwoofer in 5.1 or 7.1 also. Great all around speakers, even better when discounted.

I am using these speakers with an old 1970s (top of the line) Sony receiver. Whether I'm using the tuner, turntable or ipod (via the AUX input), these speakers faithfully reproduce the sound. Great for a small space (I have them set up on a drawing table); and for a small budget. I also have two other full surround sound systems; but find these Polk speakers surprisingly satisfying.

I was looking for some old school bookshelf speakers for my old Nakamichi analog stereo system and these fit the bill perfectly. Just the right size and sound quality I was looking for. They look great as well. The only flaw I could find is that they need to be elevated either lower or higher than ear level before sounding good. Otherwise they deliver great sound throughout the audio spectrum and only take minutes to connect.

I had a surround sound system and got rid of it and bought a sound bar for my Samsung TV. Although the soundbar is nice I missed my surround sound and I decided to upgrade my surround sound system with the Polk Audio series. I got the whole system and love it from the sub-woofer and the shelf speakers and the tower speakers and the center speaker. Love the quality and sound of the Polk Audio system and the price and availability with Best Buy. Highly recommend !!!! Fantastic product !!!!

I decided that I needed to upgrade from my computer speakers to something a little better. Having owned high end equipment in the past I was concerned that with my budget of $400 I wouldn't get much. It was a pleasant surprise that these speakers sounded so nice. Compared to sound bars that were twice as much or more and theater in a box units this product was much better. They do benefit from a subwoofer and I got the Polk Audio 10" for very nice well rounded sound. A Yamaha 5.1 receiver completed the nucleolus of what will become a nice home theater.. I'm looking forward to another pair and a center channel speaker for surround sound. For now, TV is 1000 times better and it is nice to relax listening to my collection of music as well.

Totally Awesome speakers for the money! I bought 4 of them for my home garage workshop and my neighbors hate me :) Ordering 3 pair for my basement game room, I cant wait!

Quality bookshelf speakers. Great clarity as expected from Polk audio. Affordable for the budget conscious. Excellent for the moderately powered system or for surrounds. After you break them in that’s when they really shine about a week or so.

I moved into a house that was pre-wired for wall speakers for 5.1 surround sound and decided to give these a try. They are ready for hanging, are small enough to not look out of place and sound great. I got them on sale so it was a no-brainer! Great speakers for surround or on their own....I do have a sub woofer, center and two front speakers already and these were a great addition!

I bought these speakers because i wanted a small set of bookshelve speakers, and they were on sale. Im using they with my Yamaha R-S202 receiver which is rated at 100 watts per channel. The speakers are also rated at 100 watts per speaker. The speakers handle the power very nicely, even at high volume. Bass responce is also very good for the size of the speakers. You wont blow your roof off your house, but they do have a clear sound for there size.

Worth the price! Compact for small spaces. Base is minimal, highs and lows good.

the best bookshelf speakers i have had the pleasure of listening to

This is my second set of these speakers, the first set did not survive a broken sump pump. As soon as I received my insurance settlement, I went right out to get another set. They serve as my rear speakers in my home theater system and have done an excellent job!

Great deal, price and awesome sound from these speakers. They work great in my 7.2 atmos system. I was looking at other brands, but I couldn't beat the price and performance. I know some audiophiles will say others nrands have better sound, but the average person will never be able to tell the difference and they cost about 1/2 to 1/3 of those "top tier" speakers. All in all I'm pleased with the purchase.
