Customer Ratings & Reviews

They are light weight and hang easy they intensify the sound

These speakers are fine to be used as rear surround speakers.

These were larger than I expected but produce great sound.

Very easy set up, easy to use web tools, knowledgeable Best Buy associate

Doesn't have the same umph that other slightly more expensive speakers have.

Speakers are good value for the price. Sound is good.

My apartment is odd- it's basically two small apartments connected together separated by a door. In the larger room I have a home entertainment system with a real stereo system- receiver, sub-woofer, larger speakers, etc. However, the kitchen is in the smaller room and I like to listen to music while having coffee. About six months ago I bought the Insignia 50 watt mini bookshelf system and connected my iPod to it via an Apple iPod dock. It's on top of the refrigerator. I like the system, but the speakers were never quite right- I felt that the 4 inch drivers were a little small and with the bass ports on the back the bass would hit the wall and I felt like it sounded a bit weak and muffled. I decided to go to Best Buy to see what I could get as an upgrade. I had done a little research online and I wanted to compare three speakers- these Polks, the Pioneer SP-BS22-LRs and the Insignia NS-SP213s. The Pioneers are power-hungry, and since this system is only 25 watts per channel I eliminated them first- plus they still had a rear bass port. The Insignias sounded ok, but seemed a little muffled. These Polks sounded the clearest, but I could not really tell how they sounded in the store, so I took them home. I'm VERY happy with the results! They are a little bigger than the original Insignias but not too big. Binding posts connected easily too. At first the sound was just ok. It took about an hour of breaking them in for them to really shine. First thing I noticed is that they are efficient- comfortable listening level with the Insignias was 16 on the volume setting, with the Polks it's 12. Second thing I noticed is that the upper midrange is much more clear- voices really carry, especially higher pitched ones. Finally, although they don't have exceptionally deep bass the response is certainly better than the Insignias. Not sure if it's because of the bigger woofers or if it's the bass ports being on the front but there is no longer any muffled bass. I'm hearing details in my music that I generally only hear through my main stereo system. If you have limited space and reasonable expectations I think you can't go wrong with these speakers!

For 100 bucks not a bad set for a second tv in garage, much better than television audio,

My husband is happy with his gift. So far he is happy with them.

I've hadbetter but these speakers are worth a second glance.

Very good clarity, my only issue is lack of bass from 5.25" woofer.

THE SPEAKERS ARE GREAT FOR A SMALL ROOM OR WITH BIGGER SPEAKERS

"Overall performance is excellent for the price point.

I knew I wasn't going to get a spectacular set of speakers for only $100, but I was hoping that these would have a little more base to them. Even after I adjusted my audio settings, they are just a bit thin sounding. Other than that, I am happy with them. They are an inexpensive, decent set of bookshelf speakers.

Happy with purchase. Service wa good as always. Will buy again
