Polk Audio R50 Main / Stereo Speaker

Ok, these can be had for less than $100/speaker. That said, these are unmatched at that price. These speakers have a nice full sound. They dip well below the 50Hz,-3dB point. I tested them down to 30Hz with not much of a dropoff in SPL (sound pressure level). I just made sure that my receiver was set for large speakers. The R50s seem to be sensitive to the settings on your receiver as far as bass is concerned. I've found that they offer plenty of punch when set right; you could almost go without a sub. They're great for music (non fatiguing) and Home Theater. Don't let online audiophiles turn you away from these- they're just trying to justify the hundreds or thousands they spent for similar sound.
