Pros Price, Design, Sound Quality
Cons Carpet Spikes
Recommended it? Yes

I have slowly but surely built up my home theater system. It started out small and gradually got bigger. At the time of purchase i had a decent setup but i came across a deal that i could not refuse. Fry's had these on sale for just $50 each! An absolute steal, especially now as they are selling... Read full review »

Pros Clean styling, sturdy construction, surprising bass
Cons Movie watchers may need a separate subwoofer, lousy carpet spikes
Recommended it? Yes

I see these speakers selling for under $300 a pair...maybe Polk Audio likes losing money? Or maybe they've just figured out a few secrets in giving you good sound at an affordable price. Read on to find out.

The R50 is another component of the timbre-matched R-series of speakers, which... Read full review »

Pros The clarity -- the absolute, jaw-dropping clarity and crispness, while still delivering...
Cons Not much...the price, maybe?
Recommended it? Yes

This is the year. We made that decision when we finally became fed up with the slow succession of department-store bookshelf stereos we were using up. This is the year we would upgrade to a real component stereo system. We bought our electronics from Ebay, and used the money we saved to go shopping... Read full review »

For their going price, you can't find a better speaker! I have them hooked up to my Onkyo TX-SR502 and couldn't be happier. Read full review »

No better deal than these

Pros Price. Good bass. Very flat response.
Cons Matching components (surround, center channel) can cost more than the speakers themselves.
Recommended it? Yes

I picked up my pair of R50s for $99 each from Fry's. When I saw the ad, I was amazed. When I listened to them, I knew I had to have a pair. I've only heard one pair of speakers I liked more, but those were $650 each. Nothing at this price even comes close to the sound quality.

I like... Read full review »

Fabulous Budget Towers

Pros -Look nicer in person than in pictures. -Sound much nicer than expected.
Cons Vinyl finish. Most speakers less than $500 do anyways. There's really nothing to...
Recommended it? Yes

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... Read full review »

Pros Cheap, good sounding, quality speaker, that looks much more expensive
Cons bass is not fantastic
Recommended it? Yes

As many people have done I came across these at a steal of a deal from Fry's Electronics. I honestly did not do very much research on these speakers before I made my purchase which is definitely not the norm for me. I have been extremely happy with the overall performance, appearance and value... Read full review »
