Using my S55s for left/right channel,,and couldn't be happier
If you are looking for some good speakers for music etc, you are going to need to get a sub. These have smaller speakers than some other floor speakers on the market in this price range, so they sound great, but the bass is a little more precise as opposed to rumbling.
I own a pair of Polk Monitor 60 speakers and was looking to upgrade. Since I mostly listen to music, I prefer speakers with a neutral sound. I was disappointed that the S55s were not neutral. Music sounded boomy and the midrange/highs were slightly overpowered by the bass.
I am not a full audiophile, but I do want to hear good quality audio especially for my eclectic taste of Jazz, Classical and Classic Rock. The speakers are to be placed in a bonus room where Grandkids will play so I was not prepared to invest a fortune.
I am pushing the speakers with a Harman/Kardon stereo receiver that is only 60 watts and probably 20 years old yet the speaker sound is incredible. I rated the sound at four stars only because the highs are a little weak although that could be because of the receiver.
Fabulous sound great build quality super load lots of bass and crystal clear no matter music or home theater these speakers rock and were a great add to my system. I run a Denon 4500 avr receiver with a 7.2.4 set up or 11.2.
Since I have owned these speakers for a while, I have to admit that I am a major fan. I was torn between the S50 and S55, but because the price difference was not too great, I decided to go with this, and I am glad I did! The immersiveness of my home theater setup is amazing.
With a home entertainment system, the tall, rounded Polk S55 speakers rounded edges appear incredibly lovely. Watch out for their sound, though! The bass is rich and powerful, and the high and mid frequencies provide a strong sound.
There is no way to go wrong with these S55s polk.You would think you were at a private live concert if you were linked with the correct source. It will alter how you perceive music in general. The best investment I have ever made in my personal enjoyment of music. Thank you, Polk audio!
I checked the lowest crossover at 40 HZ and the sound was wonderful on songs without even a woofer..!All low, mid, and high frequencies sounds came great! Outstanding crisp, powerful bass and crystal-clear, high-frequency sound rhythms!
