Good but not great

One of my five surround speakers died so I bought a replacement. To my surprise, the original speakers sound slightly better than this one, but that's satisfying and I've moved it to the rear right position where fidelity isn't as important.

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Something else

Amazing sound for a 5.1 surround system

I added them to my living room 5.1 surround back system and couldn't believe the quality they offer in such a small size . I have them in the back corners on a floating glass shelf and they look amazing!

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Not as good as it says it is

Great speakers best for home audio

I used these speakers to add two extra side speakers to my home surround sound system. The speakers have a lot of bandwidth for their size and give me the full cinema feeling when I'm watching movies at home. A few weeks ago I decided to "test" the system by checking out Top Gun and Days of Thunder. It's like being right in the middle.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • Style 90

Good and clear sound

Disclaimer: I am not a home theater specialist. With that said. Good and clear sound, can be relatively loud, if you turn it LOUD the speakers burst. I blew two within a month (oops). I think my recommendation would be to stick to normal decibel levels and avoid hearing loss. However, if you want deafeningly loud noises, choose something else. These are good speakers, but they're not invincible.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Excellent satellites on satellite speakers

Very happy with these speakers. They look good, sound powerful and work great as satellites in a home theater system. The assembly is solid. The connections are easily accessible and the mounting threads are standard size. Not great if you want significant bass response, but they're not really designed for that. Woofers this size can only push out a certain amount of air, no matter how efficient they are. My only problem is the ending. Personally, I can't stand glossy black. looks cheap

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • 0

I like almost everything about them.

I love everything about them - for example they are the perfect size to sit on tables on the edge of my sofa - except I wanted the speakers to be lighter when the kids bang on them to stay upright. Unfortunately, due to their triangular shape, padded feet, and high center of gravity, they sometimes tip over. Just make sure they aren't too close to the edge of the table so they don't hit the floor if they fall. (Mine have done this twice, but they are REALLY durable and have withstood every drop

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

Good sound in satellites

I first bought two TL1 speakers to replace my existing two TL1 speakers which vibrated a few times from the end tables and no longer sounded good if at all. Ouch! I later noticed that the third TL1 speaker failed after I connected two new ones. When I was in the process of ordering a third TL1 speaker I discovered the TL2 speakers and decided to try them out and then bought another to replace my fourth TL1 speaker. You can see the difference in the output. I'm not a music lover but they offerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

It is great! I used them to replace satellites.

Great! I used them to replace the satellites on my old Logitec Z-2300 2+1 system. And the Z-2300 are the best computer speakers. All of them are no more, as well as parts. This is the second set of satellites I've tried. The first, (Klipsch) Take Classic, couldn't take the heat and quickly destroyed the voice coil. But under warranty they quickly changed it. But I will no longer connect them to my Z-2300 Titan. gonna sell them Polks sound better, way better, and can handle sustained fullโ€ฆ

My Polk speakers are good for home audio

I ordered two of these to replace my old surround speakers, wish they still sound good. Thing is they came in different packages and one of them was definitely a return, looks like someone drilled a small hole in the bottom of the rear speaker. I have no idea why, unfortunately I will be sending it back. They look great but don't know anything about the sound but don't want to tune them until I get a replacement, hopefully a new one this time. I'll update my review later but they look good andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Some bugs
