$0.00 Summary:
I have owned at pair of Polk 10-B's since the mid 1980's. They blew us away at the time as we were stepping up from some 1970's Marantz 6-G's. We listened to a lot of what's now known as classic rock at the time and really liked the increased mid-range response that these speakers offered.
Thirty years later and these are still the main speakers in our entertainment system. These speakers still get lots of compliments for clarity and lack of listener fatigue. Best if you have room and a house as I can't imagine these in a small apartment with neighbors who might not like the volume at which these can be played. I like to play big band jazz at a loud volume while working in my upstairs study as you'd swear that you were sitting over a live performance. The sound field is as good on stereo as most 3.1 fields, even better. I have had to recheck the setting because I swear that my Polk center channel is on but it's not. This is even more noticeable when the needle hits the wax. Our listening choices have expanded and the Polks still take on whatever we play.
I hope that not many readers see this as I'm looking for another pair of 10's for our bedroom and don't want to push the demand. Did I mention that in 30 years of listening we have had no problems with the speakers. I also own a pair of Monitor 5's (kitchen) and 5 jrs (garage) which I have bought used.
You could say that I have an "old polks home". In that case we still do have openings. Strengths:
durable, good imaging, can be pushed and still not wear out the listener, sounds good with classic rock, indie rock, alternative rock, jazz, country swing, and folk Weaknesses:
yes, some people will find that size is a problem Similar Products Used:
Bose, Cerwin Vega, Manatz, Sansui, all vintage of course, new Infinity and Jbl
Current system includes:
Harman Kardon 335
Pro-ject turntable
Denon CD player
Polk center speaker
Polk 8T back speakers
