What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Polk Audio T50 Home Theater and Music Floor Standing Tower Speaker

They are surprisingly low weight, so they are very easy to move around and don't have a lot of Booming Bass
The Polk's sound much better than the "surround" speakers. The Polks are very light weight also
The size was the main factor works great like did like the sound
Love these speakers, perfect size with a good sound
The towers came looking nice and clean, but felt quite light weight.

Klipsch R-26F Floorstanding Speaker

The speaker is nice looking with or without the cover. This thing is heavy too!
Bumping into it isn't going to send it flying or even moving under most circumstances.
My first impression was that they where heavy, they are beautiful and well made and they sound beautifully filling the living room
Great sounding speakers they say medium to small room I don't know what size is small because they put out a great sound you get
Very heavy but sound very good

What customers say about "Audio"

Polk Audio T50 Home Theater and Music Floor Standing Tower Speaker

Very powerful speakers and crystal clear sound. Very powerful as well.
These really rock and look realky nice in my cave, they can definately handle my hi powered reciever.
Great audio and clarity with sound loudspeaker delivers high-quality audio, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes to the max. Dynamic Balance technology provides a wide frequency response and low distortion.
EXCELLENT With booming bass and balanced tones, this Polk Audio T50 loudspeaker delivers high-quality audio, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes to the max.
The speakers have clear sound and a decent amount of bass, even without a subwoofer, but they don't get to the super low frequencies.
Midrange is mediocre, probably because it does not have a designated driver for midrange frequencies. distorts the lows at high volume especially when the song has a lot of bass

Klipsch R-26F Floorstanding Speaker

Well worth the price for a great sound ....if highs and lows is what you're looking for this speaker is definitely worth a audition
The floor speaker when playing music ever note is so clear.
Great sound with clear low, mid and high frequencies. Great price for the high quality. Also looks great without the cover.
The strength is that it produces "as is" sound, which is crisp and bright.
Added 2 of these to turn my surround from 5.1 to 7.1!! They were perfect size for my room, tweeters are clear and crisp and bass adds just the right amount of depth!!
Sounds more muddy. I was much happier with a pair of reference premeir bookshelf speakers.
If you want Klipsch high quality speakers then don't buy these. They're made a little cheaper and your listening experience will pay for it.

What customers say about "Features"

Polk Audio T50 Home Theater and Music Floor Standing Tower Speaker

Dynamic Balance technology provides a wide frequency response and low distortion
The T50s are well built, very stable and really good looking (this was also important to me because the wife factor). The grills on the from can be removed and put back any time.
Midrange presence is outstanding, making them perfect for a home theater. Bass is tight and controlled, and sturdier than you might expect
The sound is very clear in general and the connectors in the back are banana plug-compatible.
I kept getting check speaker wire and the power supply would shut off.Finely the speaker went kaput and I only used it a handful of times. I purchased top quality speaker wire from Radio Shack so the wires were OK. the wire inside the speaker is bad.

Klipsch R-26F Floorstanding Speaker

The strength and weakness of Klipsch is its horn, its aluminium tweeter. The strength is that it produces "as is" sound, which is crisp and bright.
The sound from these speakers is top notch, sure you can spend more but it's not necessary. Klipsch might not be for you only because of the horn technology, could be bright for some ears. I am happy to own
The quality of the speakers is obvious. Down to the size and build of the little rubber feet. The grill fits beautifully. I just can't think of anything bad to say about them.
The weakness is that some people dont like bright high frequencies, and they prefer a more musical tone, eventhough it may not be a perfect reproduction
