These Polk R300 Speakers are great for beginning and budget home theater speakers. I am currently running them on a stereo set up and they are hold up great. I plan on moving them to my surrounds and using another set, probably polk's monitor series, as my main fronts.

These are a great value and you will not be disappointed.

The Polk R300 is great for home theater and good for music. Don't expect to be blown away by the sound of stereo music, but the mids and highs are good, and with a sub sounds great. If you want better, I recommend the Polk 60s, but they are much bigger and more expensive, so if you want a nice sounding small floorstanding at a great price, go for it!

Most people who are looking into these are asking themselves, can they really sound that good when they can be had for such a great price. The answer is YES! Really, these speakers really are amazing with movies in 5.1 (along with the CSR center channel and R150s for rear plus an Athena sub for my setup). I have heard lots of speakers, Energy, Harman Kardon, JBL, Athena, B&W, among others, and really, these speakers are excellent when watching movies.

I turn these up when I have a family B-day party and the family is over, and they all come away impressed. You can let someone con you out of your money and spend more, but really, the value to performance of these speakers is incredibly hard to beat.

Didnt see any reviews for these so...
Extremely nice speaker for the price. All I can say is look for the sale at F..y's. $100 plus delivery for 2. I used these as my surround back speakers on a 7.1 system. I've also used them as my speaker B select for nighttime use. I have tested them as full ranged speakers at max volume and was amazed they sounded very good. If this is Polk's cheapest floor speaker, I may try one of the other one's. The next model up with two woofers has been on sale for just $20 extra. That's even a better deal! All I wanted was a back speaker and I got much more. Forget a cheap bookshelf speaker, get these. Surprising base as well.
