I've loved Polk Audio every since I heard their SRS series, way back in the day. Matthew Polk left JBL Labs to create, in my opinion, the BEST sounding loudspeaker. For the money, you simply can't beat Polk Audio. Their sound and performance is ALWAYS way above their price range. And the TSx550's are the center-point (flagship) of my home theater!

I have a set of 2-way book shelf speakers from Polk Audio (TSx200B in Cherry) with a Polk Audio dual 10" sub-woofer which I wired up myself and I was wowed by the sound quality. Then these floor standing speakers went on sale at a great price. Well, needless to say, they sound great even without the added sub-woofer to the book shelf speakers. Though I will still be keeping the sub-woofer and the 2-way speakers will be my surround speakers. If you need some good floor standing speakers keep these in mind. They are excellent speakers that provide excellent range and the sale price really can't be beat.

This is how Polk Audio roll
The flagship of the TSX Series is a floorstanding loudspeaker that boasts two 8-inch passive woofers capable of such smooth, natural deep bass extension that you may consider an additional subwoofer to be overkill. (Of course not!) The gorgeous curves and trendy brushed metal accents of this high performance floorstanding loudspeaker make it the perfect addition to any room and any demanding audio system.
Features
TSX Series bi-laminate driver cones, tuned perfectly with Polk Audio Dynamic Balance process, produce smooth, natural sound They are lightweight, but super stiff, with exceptional damping, for high efficiency and low distortion
Unlike horns or metal domes, silk/polymer dome tweeters deliver clear and detailed highs, without fatigue, even at high volume and reveal more realistic vocal reproduction
Big bi-laminate woofer drivers, with durable rubber surrounds, enhance low frequency response with accuracy and depth
Surprisingly deep, musical bass response thanks to a 3-inch critically tuned flared port, which minimizes port noise ("chuffing") and smooths the turbulence of port air flow, to reveal full-bodied bass that blends effortlessly with the speaker's overall dynamics
All Polk loudspeakers are timbre-matched within their series, designed with the same components throughout, to achieve seamless speaker-to-speaker blending effects in multi-channel systems
The high efficiency design of the TSX Series works well with practically any electronics, even the most modestly-powered amplifier or receiver, delivering a performance that's spacious and clear, natural and realistic
Polk Audio high performance crossover system boosts performance with premium components (like mylar bypass capacitors, which reveal extended high frequency details); these are usually found only on much more expensive loudspeakers
Dual gold-plated, professional-style 5-way binding posts, for the most secure connection options
Dual binding posts allow bi-amp or bi-wire connections, for the ultimate in customized high performance audio
Unique new curved enclosure design in non-resonant MDF creates a rigid, acoustically inert space, with non-parallel curved side panels that effectively reduce audible coloration
