Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Polk audio never seems to disappoint. Great price for the money. They look upscale and our neighbors are jealous.

Do yourself a favor snd get an spl meter once u calibrate with what your av has. They sound great with and without the subwoofer. Strong but not a sub.

Dual speakers really enable a much richer sound than a single speaker can afford. Also 10 to 20% louder at same power level than the infinity. Sounds great and look very sleek.

Cons

Speaker has little to no bass, highs aren't crisp as they should be, and the midrange is ok. Button issue makes these defective, and it happened on both of the speakers i bought.

Competitiveness

Purchased these to replace a pair of bose 601s

It has an extremely low profile even less than the other wallceiling polk speakers i have

Even compared to the other polk speakers i used this thing imparts serious depth and detail to my audio

Probably the best comparison to bose in my opinion
