 polk audio r150 July 29, 2008
D. Oliff Jr. (Plantation, FL USA)
These speakers more than serve my purpose they are now my front speakers and replace the smaller satellite speakers (moved these to my side speakers) I now have 7.1 with an Onkyo TX-SR605 stereo powering everything, Polk PSW110 subwoofer sounds great

The R150 speakers are outstanding.
The entire line of products; from their budget conceous to their top end, are amoung the industries best.
I have been employed in the consumer products service industry for 38 years. Polk Audio has adeveloped and maintained one of the industries best products and reputations for many decades.
 Quiet? Sounds great! Loud? Not so much. April 6, 2008
Schuylercat (Charlotte, NC)
I agree with Mr. Gruen's review: at volume (not cranked, distorted - just 5/10ths) they get kinda muddy, lose their sheen and tinkle and sound like they politely have their hand over their mouth. Odd, but at low volume they actually sound fantastic - balanced, clear, bright-but-not-tinny. I'm compelled to adjust the treble up a few db to compensate the more I turn the knob.
They feel somewhat well built, a little hollow-sounding, although I haven't taken them apart to tell and frankly, since I have them hooked up and in place, I guess I don't want to know.
Don't bother trying for "loud" from these little guys. They'll start to sputter break up well before you can hurt your hearing. I suspect these were engineered specifically for surround applications as sides or backs - they're very non-intrusive that way.
I use them to augment ceiling mounted stereo-only speakers, feeding TV, CD's and XM Radio through a wonderfully quiet and simple 15 year old 100watt/per Yamaha reciever. When I light up the whole stystem: kitchen, great room, dining, patio (through a Sima balancer), they do the job sufficient enough to get three stars.
Note that stereo-only TV augmentation is very good - it's CD's and XM that sound a little muddy.
