Customer Review: Amazing Sound
Summary: 5 Stars
For the past year I've been researching a home theater setup with a budget of around $3k. The last thing I settled on was my speaker system. A friend of mine owns a nice out of the box pioneer system but I had decided on getting a receiver and built a 5.1 or 7.1 system out of that. After a solid year, I still hadn't made up my mind. I settled on the TV (the fantastic LN52A650 from Samsung,) and not long after, the receiver (a Pioneer 1018AH.) But still I was not sure what speaker system to get, only that I thought I would like a Boss setup for around $6-800.
I spent the next month reading reviews on here, listening to various systems. I managed to listen to a friend of a friends boss system and while it was very solid, I found it had a few shortcomings, especially at high frequencies. They were just.. off.
Finally, I started noticing that every audiophile website I went to, every store owner who delt in speaker systems, over and over, was recommending Polk Audio which I actually had never heard of, and that settled it. I started building my own speaker setup when I came cross this RM6880 setup for right around the price, perhaps a bit to the high end, of what I wanted to spend. I hadn't even heard any Polk setups but the reviews here and elsewhere over the web finally settled it. I figured if they weren't that great, I could send them back and just go with Boss after all, even if I'd consider it a downgrade.
In the end, I couldn't be happier. The sound is fantastic and lifelike and so clear. It had no of the problems of the high ends and I even tested it by running Return of the King where the hobbits pass by Minas Morgul (the greenish building where the orc army comes from.) There is an extremely high pitch 'scream' in that part and while the Boss system had a hard time with it, this system blew our eardrums it was so flawless. It was like being back at the theater and hearing it for the first time.
Today, anything I watch, any movie I put in, combined with the fantastic 1018AH, I have all the power I could ever like. I've had more people pass by my front window (I live on main street and my main window looks right in at my home theater setup,) just stands there, in awe. Friends and friends of friends are blow away by it. The guy that owns the boss setup, I showed off what these speakers could do, he was beyond impressed and had to admit they were considerably better, and his boss were also quite a bit more expensive.
In the end, I cant recommend these more. I do have to say the subwoofer has no way of connecting to the front speakers connection as per suggested on the website, but that doesn't knock off but more then 1/10th a star. Though I've heard it makes Polk setups sound even more amazing. If I could figure out how it's done I'd do it, but I really cant imagine this system being any better.
Bravo Polk.
