So, what is the collective opinion on Polk Audio in general?

My entertainment budget is somewhat limited and my current Bose 201 series IVs for fronts and some even older Bose for backs has me mostly satisfied.

That said, I have heard good things about Polk Audio, but I have always been fairly impressed with the opinions here.

For this price they are a steal. Polk generally makes good quality products. I would never pay MSRP for them, since they are priced a bit high IMO, but if you can get them at a discount it's worth it.

Polk makes great speakers. Go to Newegg.com and check the reviews.

@msmetz: I think the better question there would be what is the collective opinion on bose. :P

I know I did...Bose is better than a boom box I guess. They are unanimously hated on stereo-geek forums.

If you're into it you can build your own very good speakers for a fraction of the price of anything you can buy. Or scour thrift stores. That said, and said as a speaker junkie, if I had an extra $100 I'd buy these just for kicks.

I own a set of these that I bought at a prior newegg sale. These are bigger than you think and heavy. They have good sound.

These are not the greatest speakers ever made, but they are good enough for the regular person who wants decent sound out of their system. If you are a stereo nazi, these will be terrible.

@mfaughn: Dunno why, Bose makes good equipment, they're just massively overpriced.

A friend just picked these up... not quite super audio-file, but for the price they sound great. Excellent option unless you plan on spending well over $1000 on your system (I'm up to the price of a small car now :( )

Don't throw these at people, you could polk out someone's eye.

OK, I went ahead and ordered 2 pair of these, what would make a good center chan for these?

msmetz msmetz
vote-for1vote-against

@msmetz: make sure to get the matching center I believe CS1 or 2 would be the matching choices. If you don't you could get a cave like sound due to several various factors.

@dpanther: As far as I can tell, the CS10 seems to have the matching speaker sizes. I hope I can find a deal on that speaker as well.

Polk or Klipsch in my opinion are the best speakers in the mid range market. I like different qualities about either but most people I know hate one and love the other. It is always best to try to listen first in as close of environment to you home setup as possible as only your ears know what they like best. It is very important to think about your receiver as you can have good speakers and and only get average sound with a junk receiver.

@msmetz: the speakers dont have to be the same size per say just in the same product line

Receiver I am using is a Pioneer VSX-D812

@dpanther: It's "per se", which I guess is Latin. Not trying to be a spelling jerk, just trying to be helpful.

OK, just got these last night, I ordered the CS1 to go with them and they sound great. These are a bit large, but they are a good step up from the set up I had and the VSX-D812 seems to have enough umpf.

They sound great for music and TV, I have yet to watch a surround sound movie, but I anticipate them being just fine.

Thank You Subby, Deals Woot and Newegg.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
