What customers say about "Audio"
Polk Audio S55 Signature Series Floor Standing Speaker
- The sound is super clean at loud volumes. Easily fills up a mid size living room.
- These speakers really sound great. I am running them bi-amped and they really have impressed me.
- These polks are well made, perform extremely well and do so effortlessly, with clarity in the highs, more and bass that is tight and powerful.
- The soundstage has depth, instruments have accurate pitch and tone, while voices have immense clarity and timbre.
- They can handle jazz, hip hop, rap and Pop with equal agility and no sign of any lacking.
Polk Audio S50 Signature Series Floor Standing Speaker
- They definitely sound better than the set of Monitor 60 Series II they I have, especially in the bass department.
- These speakers are great with a good subwoofer or two. They really fill the large living room I have them in and make movies very enjoyable.
- Excellent speakers! Don’t even have to turn it up halfway to get great sound!
- These speakers produce a very natural and superbly balanced sound.
- These speakers are 8 ohm and want to up to 150 watts RMS per channel. Yes, they say they handle 20 to 150 watts, but if you don't feed them enough power, they are going to sound terrible.
