Home > Consumer Reviews > Polk Audio R15 2-Way Bookshelf Loudspeakers (Pair, Black)

I admit it, I am semi-obsessed with not spending a fortune on anything. It is all about value. So when it cam time to find some new speakers I spend way too much time thinking about the right choice. But it paid off. These speakers are a real bargain. Their big rich sound will make you happy and so will the price. Compared to similar bookshelf speakers they may seem at the higher end but that is the problem. These little speakers do not compare to other bookshelf speakers. They are far more robust and compare more accurately to expensive mid-size three-way speakers like the Sony SSM-F750H. I highly recommend the POLK Audio R-15 for you home.

Wow, what nice sound from these little buggers! Usually most bookshelf speakers sound a little thin, but man these pack a wallop! Now, I'm using them in conjuction with a sub and center channel, but woohoo they rock!

I have two sets of these speakers, each set on seperate floors! They are small, compact, and produce a nice, big sound for a varity of stereo attachments.

A very good value.

I bought these speakers to use as rear surrounds in my Home Theater system. But after listening to them for awhile, I could easily have used them as main speakers on my second (lower powered) system. For such small speakers, they really surprised me with the amount of clean bass they put out. The trebles aren't very bright, but they are adequate. Of course, you would never expect these to compete with higher-end speakers, but considering I only paid $50 for the pair (from [...]), I'm very very pleased. This is the first time I've bought Polk Audio speakers. Next time I buy some higher end speakers, I will give strong consideration to Polk Audio.

The other speakers attached to our TV in the den had blown, and we didn't want to invest a lot in a replacement, since at some point we'll be going to a HDTV set up. We didn't expect much at the price, but others had given them positive reviews, so we placed an order. They sound great and, as a bonus, look neat.
