Great and big bookshelf speakers

S15 I've had for a few weeks now and I have to say I'm very impressed. They are a very good size and feel very solid when you hold them in your hands. They sound very full, with excellent clarity and excellent bass response. I use them for my surround back channels in combination with the S35 center channel, a pair for the S20 for the front left and right channels, and a pair of Bose 302 for my surround left and right channels. I was very impressed with the sound of these speakers. They soundโ€ฆ

Excellent speakers for my study

I have Polk Lsim 703 flagship bookshelf speakers in my living room which I paid $389 each from Revain.com. The Lsim 703 was powered by a 165W Sony DTR-DN1070 and this system sounds great. I needed a smaller system for my college where I work on computers so I bought a used Sony STR-DE595 receiver on Craigslist that was only 100 watts. When I connected them to the Polk S15, I was amazed at the clarity and spaciousness of the highs and mids. Bass is lacking, but that's to be expected in a systemโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Some issues

Good quality pads

I was looking for smaller front speakers to replace my rather large Klipsch front speakers. First I tried Polk S10s. I understand they were meant for rear speakers but some reviews said they would fit front speakers with a powered subwoofer. I have a woofer so I gave it a try because of the very small footprint. In terms of the front, the S10s lagged far behind my larger Klipsch. Then I switched to S15s. For me they hit the golden mean with the fronts. They're smaller than the ones I've hadโ€ฆ

  • Pleasant

  • Not the best

After a little greasing of the elbow, they work beautifully.

*EDIT* Opening the back and poking around, I noticed that one of the tweeter pins was a little loose. I took it off, tightened the clamp, put it back and everything worked. I'm still a bit annoyed that it came out of the factory so freely, but now it works fantastic and sounds great so I'm concentrating on that. *EDIT* Unfortunately, the tweeter on one of the speakers stopped working. It was pretty obvious since it happened mid-game. To be clear, the volume wasn't loud, and I swapped the wiresโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Almost everything is here

Good quality, very heavy. Ceiling mount modification required

I bought these speakers as an upgrade to my previous HTIAB speakers and they are a huge improvement in quality and size. The documentation claims these speakers weigh 13 pounds and I can confirm that this is the weight of each speaker, not a pair. I wanted to use the same attachment points or proximity as the ceiling, so I was somewhat limited in what I could do. I wanted to use a ball mount for the speaker but couldn't find one that was compatible with a keyhole mount of this weight (the onlyโ€ฆ

This is a great choice for music/home theater setup

This is a great choice for music/home theater setup as I use it in my living room. I have previously had both ELAC Debut B5 and B6 in this role but I could not fit their Debut C5 center channel due to their size. I was missing the clarity of the center channel, especially with movies, so after careful research I decided to try it with the corresponding S35 center channel. I am very happy with the setup and will consider replacing these S15s with my surround speakers and buying a floorstandingโ€ฆ

  • Finally bought it
