Fantastic sound!

Several years ago, I decided to upgrade the speakers for my 7.1 sound system. I chose the TSi line because of the quality-to-affordability ratio. I'm using the TSi100's for my surround and surround back speakers. They're perfect! (For a short time, I was using the TSi100's as front left and right speakers, and they worked great there too. Great, crisp, clean highs. Easy, warm mids. Round, smooth bass. I have a recording studio and am a bit of an audiophile. In my opinion, the quality of sound produced by Polk's TSi line is near studio grade. The highs sound even clearer than some studio reference speakers I've heard.

The Polk Audio TSi100 is a great speaker (Black) to use for wall-hanging surround speakers in a TSi Series home theater (heavy duty wall-hanging brackets are built right in) or use them as main speakers in a small room, where performance is key but size is a consideration. The TSi enclosures are constructed of extensively braced, solid MDF with 3/4" baffles. This virtually eliminates internal resonances and damps energy-stealing vibrations, for more efficient operation and more transparent sound. Beautiful pewter accents, a high gloss piano-finish black top plate and stylish black finish make TSi speakers a part of your decor. Polk's proprietary, patented Dynamic Balance technology allows Polk's engineers to design out distortion-causing driver and system resonances, so you only hear the good sounds.

The Klippel motor optimization uses laser measurement technology to ensure a smooth excursion path at either end of the volume spectrum for uniform performance at both low and high volumes. TSi design combines smaller drivers (for more overall driver area with less driver mass) and narrow baffle geometry, for wider range and more spacious soundstaging, so every seat in the house hears a prime performance. Unlike horns or metal domes, silk dome tweeters deliver clear and detailed highs, without fatigue, even at high volume.

Durable, efficient and tuned with Dynamic Balance process, TSi Series polycarbonate cones produce smooth, natural sound. The dual gold-plated, professional-style 5-way binding posts, for the most secure connection options.
