It is hard to find better speakers at this price point (bought an open-box set with a significant discount). These speakers look great, although the simile-wood termination is a simple decal that won't be mistaken with laminated wood termination, it is flat and not "textured' like some of the pictures seem to show but for sure feel solid, sturdy, well built. The sound is also very nice, well defined and "full". The center unit could use larger speakers, it sounds a little bit on the high side for me, but works well when spreading the center channel to the front speakers as well. It is a shame there is no style matching subwoofer in Polk's line-up to complete the set but that is not Polk's forte anyway, tried the PSW505 but was not convinced, finally opted for the SVS PB-1000 and it did the trick, it looks like a "handsomer" relative and sound amazing. Having said that, the front towers do pack quite a bit of a punch and might be able to pull it off in small/closed rooms without the need of a subwoofer. In a larger/open living room they still sound great but need some help to fill the room with the lower freqs.

Incredible detail as can be expected from most Polk speakers, these Signature Series bookshelf speakers, are a perfect addition to take sound for movies and TV shows to a another level. I found the speakers to be a bit biased in the treble when listening with my music The cabinet itself is very sleek and modern looking. I've added these to my 7.1 system as rear's mounted on a custom plate. The bass is surprising powerful but no overwhelming.
