What I can't tell you - I can't compare these speakers to a 2or 3 thousand dollar set of speakers. I have never had speakers that expensive and even much more in my home. I have heard them in a specialty store but not at home. They will sound different in the studio than at home. I do know the higher class speakers have beautifully constructed cabinets, well damped inside and higher quality components.What I can tell you - These speakers do look nice even though they are not made of fine woods and have rounded or beveled edges. In fact I have seen some brands of tower speakers that cost 3 times as much as these speakers and they have the same basic square edge construction on the outside. I think these speaker look impressive for the money. Ok, the grille is not magnetic but it is secure and looks very nice. The connection posts on the back are very nice. They added a nice touch to the base even though it is just cosmetic. Now on to the sound. I have these speakers hooked up to a brand new 80 watts per channel Yamaha amplifier (not receiver), a brand new Cambridge CD player, a brand new Andover Spindeck Max Turntable, and a high resolution streamer. I am using a new Klipsch 10 inch subwoofer all items purchased through Amazon. I am only using this system for stereo music. The highs from these speakers are very crisp and clear. The mid sound is warm and robust. The lows are very adequate but can come nowhere near to what a dedicated subwoofer can produce. I knew this going in which is why I wanted the subwoofer. Overall I am totally pleased with the music these towers produce and the 80 watt amp drives them beautifully and they can get quite loud without distortion unless you go nuts and over drive them to the extreme. Now would a 2 or 3 thousand dollar pair of towers out perform them? I would say yes. But the big question is does the 2 or 3 thousand dollar set give you a 2 or 3 thousand dollar performance increase? I would venture to say they are better but not thousands better. Of course this is my opinion and I am not an audiophile, but I have listened to different systems all of my life and I do know what sounds good and what does not. I have heard some crappy systems. I am sure an expert might hear or not hear things I should hear but again, I am totally pleased with the sound these speakers produce and I don't give a flying fig if they are missing a little detail.

Legit amazing! 10/10 Price was perfect, would 100% buy again! 🥰But warning for people who live in apartments, if you’re not careful someone is definitely going to complain. Unless your goal is to get people upset, then ignore this warning because this will work for that 😂Also if you roll up like a foam soundproofing wall panel, and put it in the rear port (but not like fully blocking off the port though), it will make it a bit punchier. Not that it needs that to be done in anyway, but if you’re having this in a small room then doing that helps in ways that I can’t explain with words.It easily connected to my PC via optical output, which goes to an optical splitter. Then the optical branches off to my soundbar optical input and my GoXLR optical input. Then from the GoXLR I use the 3.5mm line out, converting to over to RCA into the subwoofer. This allows me to get perfect, easy and independent remote volume control of the subwoofer via the GoXLR sliders, while still having a master control on the PC that will adjust both the soundbar and subwoofer at the same time, resulting in perfectly fine tuned sound quality with absolutely no distortion.

Excellent ATMOS speakers for the price. They can be mounted as Upfiring to reflect off of the ceiling; sitting on your towers, or wall mounted facing toward the main sitting area; as front height speakers. If you know what you're doing, these speakers will work for you and your ATMOS. If your ceiling is more than about 9 feet, upfiring speakers don't work well. Bouncing off of a ceiling takes some acoustical physics. But if your ceiling is less than 9 feet (like a basement theater room) then these can be a decent option. I actually use 3 sets of speakers for my atmost. These plus 2 other different brands. ALL 3 sets are up firing, but these polks sit on my towers, the other 2 pairs of speakers are mounted close to the ceiling on an entertainment wall unit. They still reflect off of the ceiling, but they are only inches away from the ceiling. (For those concerned, my receiver only has output for 1 pair of atmos speakers. My other 2 pair are 8 ohm speakers. I put them in parallel to give me 4 ohms; then these polks are 4 ohms so I put them in series with the other two that I've connected, and now I have 8 ohms again). Definitely worth buying if you have low ceiling OR if you're going to mount them at the wall/ceiling and point them down.

They look great and the sound quality is really good!They fit perfectly in 2 small corners in our music room. A good addition to our other speakers. Comparable to our Bose speakers.

Amazing monitor! Beautiful fidelity for any kind of music from classical to rock, jazz to folk. Excellent with streaming video, providing clear speech and brilliant sound effects. Can't praise this speaker highly enough. I used it to replace a second-rate Yamaha central speaker that came with the tuner and entertainment system speakers I purchased for use with our TV and music system, and it blew me away right out of the box.
