perfect size for the application. I thoroughly enjoy listening to my cd's with these speakers.

a bit large but very good.4
i intended to use these speakers for my rears but they are a bit large. if i hadn't also ordered monitor 50's i would have used these as fronts. but they do a good job as rears for my 5.1 system now. very powerful and a decent amount of bass as well. they also look very classy.

I have the Polk Monitor 60s in the front and the 40s in the rear. With this arrangement I hear subtle sounds/notes in music/details I never heard before for the same music I have listened to for years. The speakers have great clarity and sound reproduction and do not sound muddy or have distortion. The bass might be a little low. However I increased the bass setting on the reciever and do not miss much. Maybe in a year or two I will add a subwoofer and the CS2 center speaker. Basically I gained more clarity and accuracy of sound. I might have tried the Monitor 70s for the front if I had to do it all over again and noticed the price I could ahve gotten them for from AMAZON.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bookshelf speakers

I used to have these as my 7.1 home theater rear speakers and decided to take them out and hook them up to my separate stereo setup with a Consonance tube amp until I bought a pair of audiophile grade bookshelf speakers for it. I was surprised at the quality of the sound put out by these budget speakers. The bass goes surprisingly low and these are very easily driven by my 20 watts/ch amp. I love these speakers. They don't do much in the way of soundstaging but they are an awesome value for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Pair of Speakers,

This is an excellent pair of speakers. I am very pleased with their quality having used them for about two months. I have them hooked up to a Kenwood KR-9600 and they work wonderfully. Excellent highs and lows along with excellent mids. With the KR-9600 I can get these speakers to have a wider frequency range than stated. The speakers work well by themselves and I would not bother to get a sub. I have my computer hooked up to the KR-9600 and I play my cds this way. I can raise the bass even more by doing this. The only downside is the price; however, they are well worth the price. The grills are alright but I took mine off because they look cooler. All in all this is a very good pair of speakers and with the proper equipment one can get them to excede their standard specifications.

Excellent5
This is my first subwoofer for the home and I am thoroughly impressed with the bass response and accuracy. For the first three days I had it placed in the corner facing the same directions as my Polk R50 Towers (which match well). The corner loading produced muddy boom which wasn't really aggravating just not my kind of thing.

I enjoy tight bass more than boom, so I moved it between my right speaker and TV, amazing still! The down firing port means no evident port noise. I have experienced none and that is from about a month of loud drum and bass, hip hop and walking bass lines found in Jazz music. You are going to love the low rumble and punch found in movie explosions and heavy vehicles running in the background!

I am running it speaker level input utilizing the crossover at about 75hz. I have great control of the output with the level knob set at less than half and phase set to 180 degrees. I would buy a second if I didn't live in a duplex!

The finish is Cherry veneer but I think that is to be expected for a sub at this price point?

Oh yeah and of course I received it within 2 days with Amazon Prime two day shipping. Normally there is a shipping charge!
