Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just look online and you will see these are one of the best budget speakers you can buy. I 100% agree. Pair them with the Polk cs10 center and a small sub and you will rattle the room. Very clear sound... both music and machine gun fire are crystal clear. I run a 5.1 set up with these and a 105" projected screen powered by an Optima projector and don't even want to go to the theater anymore.

I would recommend these to anyone they have a great sound and they look great too

Sounds great and has a great range. This is a great value for the price.

For what you pay for these speakers you will b amazed. Do they sound as good as a thousand dollar set,well almost. I have a much more expensive set and these are dollar for dollar better speakers. The only people who won’t like them are the people upset someone is getting a speaker that sounds nearly as good as their much more pricey audiophile quality noise makers.

Great Speakers for the money (especially when they are on sale). They are surprisingly low weight, so they are very easy to move around and don't have a lot of Booming Bass. This is Fine for me because I don't need a lot of Bass for most classic rock I listen to, and don't want to bother my apartment neighbors.

Having owned Polk speakers in the past I expected good quality but was pleasantly surprised at exactly how good these sounded given the low price point. I am very please with the purchase due to the crisp and clear highs smooth mids and clean bass.

Glad I bought the tower it not only looks good it Sounds excellent

Great speaker good range and looks awesome! Best to buy a pair.

I didn't expect I'd be replacing my old MartinLogan speakers with these. Based on reviews, Klipsch was my presumed first choice -- these were only a "maybe" on my list. I took my time comparing the sound of all the tower speakers BestBuy has on display, sampling a wide variety of music and familiar voices over a range of volumes. To my ears, the fidelity of these speakers was never surpassed by any of the others. More often than not, the Polks had superior fidelity. At home, they sound even better. It's gratifying to have gotten the level of sound quality that I crave at such a low price... Best speakers I've ever owned!

Needed a 5.1 setup after my home theater in a box solution died on me. Bought a Pioneer Elite receiver and needed some speakers. I'm not an audiophile or anything like that, but wanted to fill a 20x20 ft. room with sound (mainly watching movies). After doing lots of research, it came down to the Pioneer SP-FS52 (Andrew Jones) towers and these. I watched a Youtube video comparing the two speakers with a song playing while flipping back and forth between the two different brands. I couldn't really tell a difference, at least not a $30 difference per speaker. Went with these speakers, and couldn't be happier with the sound.

Ordered two of these Polk Audio T-50s after reading the results of reviews. I was looking for speakers which were going to have smooth and accurate sound without spending a King’s ransom. After arriving by UPS, I gave them several days of moderate playing levels to become “seasoned” before reviewing them. It did take a few days for them to loosen up. I feel made the right choice purchasing them. The fit and finish appears to be flawless and better than many in this price range. Many low cost speaker boxes sound thin and hollow when you tap on them with a knuckle, use inferior crossovers and speakers, and just plain don’t sound good. The T-50s look more expensive than they actually cost, and have the smooth quality sound to back up their good looks. Streaming 320 kb/sec. music sounds fantastic through them. They kinda remind me of my 48 year old JBL L36’s. The T-50s use a 2-way 12db/octave crossover and proprietary speakers which are designed by Polk to work in conjunction with each other. Many cheap speaker manufacturers just throw a 4-mfd capacitor between a generic tweeter and woofer which is an inferior 6db/octave crossover. The T-50’s use two chokes, two capacitors, and two resistors in their crossover. You can hear the difference. The transition of sound frequencies between the tweeter and woofer is very smooth and lifelike. The 1” silk tweeters have a “wave-guide” in front of them to distribute the high frequencies over a much wider space than without one, since high frequencies are very directional. This gives the speakers GREAT high frequency dispersion and detail in the upper mids and high frequencies, and still sound great even if you are listening off-axis. This makes for a very accurate soundstage. Vocals really shine through these speakers. Some high quality recordings sound like the singer is standing right in front of you. The T-50s are also a 6 ohm nominal impedance, so you’ll probably want to use heavier speaker wire to hook them up than you would with 8 ohm speakers. Use either a 12 or 14 gauge speaker wire to hook them up to get the most out of them, especially if you like to play them loud and proud. Using two 6.5” passive radiators makes for a bit more accurate bottom end compared to many ported speakers which can be more boomy in this price range, and passive radiators allow for the speakers to be pulled away from walls and still retain their bottom end. There are some reviews I read where the people complained they got “ripped off” because the two bottom speakers weren’t wired up, not knowing this is the deliberate design of the speaker. I gave them a 5-star rating because for the price they’re a steal, and they sound like speakers costing many time more than they actually are. If you are on the fence whether to buy some cheap tower speakers, but are afraid they’ll be flimsy and sound cheap...these won’t disappoint, and won’t deplete your bank account in the process. Pull the trigger and buy them...you’ve got nothing to lose!

Been into serious music for 50 years. Bought 2 pairs! These speakers are great for the money. Very clear highs and decent bass, but not silly rap type bass! A+. Already recommeded these to audiophile friends.

Excellent sound. Not too expensive. Speakers had good sound quality

Very nice speakers, they sound great and have nice bass

After reading reviews, I elected to go with the following for my new HTS: Onkyo TX-SR343 700W 5.1ch receiver, Polk T-30 Center, T-15 Bookshelf (front), and T-50 Floor (surround) speakers. Also Went with the Polk PSW-108 Subwoofer. It all works together like a dream! Sound depth and clarity is amazing. Plenty of power with this system too. Shakes the walls! The T-50 speakers sound so amazingly clear and lifelike, it actually causes us to think we are hearing real sounds outside when the surround sound channel is active. Highly, highly recommend all of the speakers above. The receiver I mentioned is good as well, but I wished I'd have bought a 7.1ch instead. But that's a different review. T-50: Excellent speaker for the price. You won't be disappointed!

Have a pair of these with our Onkyo 7.1 channel surround system and are also paired with the Polk center channel and bookshelf (rear) speakers. Sound amazing for as inexpensive as they are.

Really brings the package together. The highs are just perfect, no tin cheap sound from the tweeters. perfect amount of bass. really gives an immersive feel to the movies. definitely recommend

Man this speakers are amazing but I think they work better with a powered subwoofer. They play loud and clear music love these speakers.

I had 20 year old Sony Speakers & wanted to upgrade without breaking the bank, these Polk speakers were on sale at Best Buy with very good reviews, so I took a chance ! So glad I did. These speakers are so much clearer. I went ahead and ordered the center speaker to go with the paid of Polk speakers.

For the price, these speakers are hard to beat. Brings a lot of depth to the music. I use them at my business in the work area and they sound awsome. Great bass
