I was going to purchase a pair of polk speaker when a friend that work at the store told me to listen to these pinnacle ref. gold speaker. All I know is that day I walk out with the Pinnacle's . In a side by side comparison to the polk rt 400 the sound to me was better . The bass was a winner hands down and the high end was as good as the polk. Both these speaker were in the same price range. Also Home theater did a review on these speaker in Dec 97 issue the gave them a 85 |

The only bad thing about these speakers is their finish, which I guess is where they save their money to price so low. But the sound is incredible. They sound just like NHT's that cost nearly twice as much! And with the matching Sub-350's, Center-channel and rear channel's, they make a great 5.1 system. |

I recently purchased the Reference Towers direct for a great price, direct. these speakers are amazing, for the money, I do not beleive there is a better value. I do not care what has been said, these speakers are "audiophile" quality in their sound. My first impression upon listening was these speakers are "sweet" they do not come at you, they persuade you to listen, the low end is veru defined and mature, while the highs are clear and accentuated. They come with binding posts and good-looking standoffs for the bottom. I have been more impressed while listening to Jazz, Classical, jazz-Blues, (anything multi-instrumental) than with Rock, although they rock quite favoribly. There build quality is fine, although a tad plain. These speakers can hold there own w/ Klipsch, Paradigm, Def Tech, etc, any day and win hands down if cost is factored in. If your ego demands that you mortgage the house and make payments to enjoy fine sound, go elsewhere, if you want audiophile quality for change get these now, while they are still bargain priced. |

I agree, these speakers rock. They throw off such a nice soundstage and have incredibly deep bass for its given cabinet size and driver compliment.They are well worth their retail price. I give 5 starts based on performance/price 4 stars on build quality and 5 stars based on customer service from Pinnacle. |

Strength:
Exciting, detailed sound with excellent bass, open midrange and smooth high (but see comments!)
Weakness:
needs careful set up and matching equipment. Used thin speaker wire. Grille to loose attached to speaker When I bought my speakers I was somewhat dissapointed: the bass was limited and booming, the midrange was 'shouting' and the high was sharp and colored.
