Bought these to replace JVC bookshelfs. Was not disappointed. The clarity & richness of these speakers come through no matter what the music genre. They remind me of the B&W P5s I have. No 2 songs sound the same. Each song sounds like how it was made; in other words, the T15s doesn't put its' own stamp on everything; rather it treats each song or genre individually, so what you get is pure sound. |

I bought the T 15s after reading the majority of positive reviews posted on the web.

I just bought a pair of these Polkaudio T15 speakers from "BestBuy", on sale, to spread the sound system from the TV/AV system in the living room to the kitchen/dinning room. I was hesitant to deal with BestBuy and the $59 sale price. However, listening to these speakers, compared with all of the other bookshelf speakers in the store, to my ears, they far surpassed the fidelity of all others priced much higher. So, I took the chance, brought them home and connected them via a wireless "rockfish" transmitter and receiver. Having set them up, aiming them so they provide as balanced sound as I can, between the living room 5-channel speaker system, to their sound in the kitchen dining area, I love the sound. My quest, for my wife, was to give her music, TV audio, FM, whatever... in the kitchen dinning area. Apparently, I made a good choice. She loves the sound as I do. Currently, I've got Mark Knofler's "Screen Playing" piped throughout the 1st floor and anywhere in the kitchen dinning area it sounds like it's coming through high end head phones. I'm very tempted to go back and buy a few more pairs, with "rockfish" transceivers to send the sound throughout the rest of the house. So far, great product at a great price. I'm sure there are other sound systems for the whole house that, if I had thousands to spend would be better. However, at least to my old ears, these are great! I can't wait 'til the subwoofer comes in to enhance the bass throughout the 1st floor.

I have no major gripes with these speakers they have a warm sound with a decent amount of air in the treble. Mid-bass is clean and tight though the mid range is a little muted perhaps the front firing bass port chokes out the most delicate range of frequencies. Otherwise okay speaks for 89.99/pr |

I Just purchased these Speakers for My Den / Home Office, paired with a Vintage Pioneer SX-434 Receiver, which I run my computer/tv music through..Impressed..for $99.98 @ Best Buy, perfect for my office. I also Run a SX-727 through my series II Bose 601's for my home system..both Pioneers have been refurbished, and updated..So, I'm somewhat surprised at the sound quality of the Polk's. |

I am in the process of upgrading a few things for a small media room. Most of the gear is older units that I have had over the years and decided to put them to good use. The system consist of:

I had bought a new receiver and hooked it up to an old set of AIWA bookshelf speakers. I had not owned a receiver of some years and the old AIWAs were not sounding to good with the new receiver. I purchased the T-15's to use temporarily as my front speakers and moving them to my rear channels when I have enough money for some Polk Monitor 30's or 40's. I hooked them up and they are receiving 80w from my Pioneer receiver and they sound GREAT!! I've sent my Home Theater and Music signals through them. They matched pretty well with my sub and are crossed over at 150hz but these speakers make me feel like i need to upgrade my sub also. They sound that good. The highs are clear and crisp and the mids are warm. To me they put out a more sophisticated sound and lets me know what I have been missing all these years. I know there are better speakers out there that will amaze me even more but I like these very much and would recommend them anytime especially at the price you can get these at. I could leave these as my fronts and be very happy for years to come. |

I bought these to replace a pair of RCA 3 ways with 12" woofers. I've had a powered sub for years and decided I did not need those huge speakers anymore. These Polks are powered by a Harman Kardon 2 channel stereo receiver that puts out 75 watts/channel. They hang high on the wall aimed down and in toward the listening area. I've never had "small" speakers before and was afraid of these having a small, tinny sound. I'm so glad I was wrong! They have about 40 hours of use and sound great after breaking in. Surprisingly they have almost as much bass as the RCAs(a sub was still required even with the big speakers). The T-15s have adequate mid bass-they won't shake the house with ultra low frequencies, but that's what subwoofers are for. Highs are crisp and clear. Mids and vocals are warm and not muddy. If you crank up some heavy metal really loud, the sound can get harsh. But that holds true with just about any speaker. When listening to jazz, they sound awesome! I can't speak for how they sound with movies-don't do the home theater thing. But with music they please my ears. Sure there are better sounding speakers out there. But for $105, I'm impressed. |
