Review: Amazing little speakers - I purchased these Polk T15 bookshelf speakers to upgrade my sound in my home office/gaming setup. I must say that these little bookshelf speakers punch well above their weight class. They being powered by a Fosi Audio M331 tube amp that puts out about 100 watts per channel. The sound profile is a more of a U shape which is great for a variety of music. In movies, dialogue is a little muffled when listening at low volumes. While the frequency response goes down to 50hz, it's not going to rattle the pictures off the wall. In most cases, the bass is just fine for a 5.25" driver. If you need booming bass you can add a subwoofer to the setup. I was able to purchase these speakers on sale. For the price, they are worth every penny. However, if they were closer to MSRP, I would pass on them (purchased for $120usd). Overall, I am happy with my purchase. The work well in a small room. Their size allows them to work as desktop speakers. If you can find them on sale, it would be worth the purchase. Pros: Great sounding, big sound from a small package. Crispy highs, tame mids, and solid bass. Allows for the use of banana plugs. Classic aesthetics and compact design. Great value if you can find them on sale. Cons: Struggles with frequency under 60hz. Dialogue gets lost at low volumes. Grills are not magnetic. Vinyl wrap looks cheap.
Review: Bang for the bookshelf buck - For the price, these are excellent speakers. They sound super-clear with accurate full-range reproduction and even a bit of bass. i got them at a sale price which made them somewhat of a no-brainer, although i considered Yamaha and Sony 3-way bookshelf speakers and the Polk tsi100 which is almost functionally the same except it has an active crossover, which these lack. However for my purposes, that didn't matter -- i am using them as surrounds in a 5.1 system, all Polk, with a Sony receiver. You could pay more for surrounds, but why? Sound quality is excellent, and they handle transitions between complex passages to more isolated ones faithfully. They also do well with both acoustic and electronic musical elements. If i had to describe the soundstage, it's present, with clear separation between frequencies. They are maybe a little on the crisp side but not shrill, in terms of tonality, though that will also depend on what music you play through them. (EDIT: It's been a few years now, and I've listened to lotta of music and movies through these speakers. As long as you know their limitations and strengths, you'll be fine with these.) I havent done extensive testing yet, nor put them through their paces with a home theater audio source, but their performance with music raises no expectation that they wouldn't handle typical movie audio as well. They are only rated to 50w continuous/100w peak, so that is something to consider if you are thinking of using them as mains. (EDIT: in engineering these, Polk chose to emphasize sound fidelity. These aren't going to have bass like a 3-way speaker. They have a max. volume rating which may preclude use as mains in larger rooms. But they are under $100 for a pair and sound fantastic for what they are.) I would say they are perfect as surrounds in a 5.1 system, which places lower power demands on rear speakers so the wattage rating doesn't matter. But i could see going with 4 of these in a home theater set-up, or 4 plus a subwoofer, for a small room. The freq. response only goes down to 60khz, so you are not going to get deep bass from these. But you will hear some bass, which sounds surprisingly clean on sound selections where low-end is isolated and "ripples" through all channels. I personally chose the Monitor 60s as my mains because I listen to a lot of music. But honestly, those might be overkill in some regards because it doesn't take a lot of volume to fill the room they are in, which is around 15' x 20'. Anyway, the M60s sound great paired with the T15s and PSW10 and could easily work as a main system in a larger, living room space. i would also have no reservations about swapping the T15s with my Yamaha surrounds on the main system, except they are just a bit larger and bulkier. They do have a keyhole opening on the back if you want to wall-mount or secure them. The cabinet itself is very well-made and these look impressive without grilles. Overall, very pleased with my purchase, so far they have performed flawlessly and are exactly what i expected. if you want bigger bass from a bookshelf speaker, your options become at least2x-3x more expensive, but will also be limited by physical space. For example, the Yamaha 3-way advertised as a bookshelf speaker packs a largeish woofer into a midsize cabinet, where it can potentially overpower the treble and mids. maybe that's an option for mains if you dont have room or budget for a subwoofer and/or floor-standing speakers, but also probably overkill for surrounds in a 5.1 setup. The T15s, on the other hand, aren't trying to give you floor-speaker performance in a smaller package, but they do compare favorably with more expensive 2-way bookshelf speakers. At this price point, they are something of an engineering/design marvel, and as long as you have realistic expectations, they will meet or exceed those expectations.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Speaker impedance and frequency response ?**
A: 8 Ohms each, 60 - 24,000 Hz response but without a decibel variation or a response curve that is meaningless.  They do say the -3db useful low end is 65 Hz.  Over all it is a good value for use in a small room like a small bedroom or computer office say about 10' x 10'.  I play mine with "loudness" on and have the bass turned up a bit to give a nice balanced sound on most material.  These would obviously benefit from being paired with a subwoofer, but they are still adequate even without for normal listening.  You'd have to spend at least double the money to get much better speakers. Note that oftentimes through the year, Amazon and Best Buy will have these on sale for about $49 for the pair, which is when I bought mine, so obviously THAT makes them an even better deal.  I've compared a lot of small bookshelf speakers and to my ears, you'd have to get some Boston Acoustics at $250 for the pair to offer anything much better than these, but you may wish to compare them to others by Klipsch and JBL.  But really, when I got them for $49 I was VERY happy with them and how they have grown on me after I broke them in for a few hours.   Do be aware that playing them overly loud can result in some "noise" or "rattle" from pushing the little 5.25" woofer too hard.  You just need to use some common sense and have realistic expectations for such small speakers in terms of volume.

**Q: Should I set this speaker to "Small" or to "Large" in my receiver? My Yamaha RX-V581 automatic calibration sets this to Large.**
A: So this depends on your receiver. I realize this is an old question, but could be helpful for others. Many receivers have the speaker size selection and many newer (last several years) receivers may also allow you to tweak your crossover settings for each set of speakers. Basically, what that means is that if your sub crossover is set at 150 hz, you want your other speakers to pick up the frequency where the sub left off. So you would want your other speakers to "crossover" at 150 hz. This means that those speakers will play frequencies from 150 hz and higher. If you set your sub for 80 hz and your other speakers at 150 hz, you'll miss all of the sounds between 80 and 150. All that to say, if you set your speakers to small, you'll want to look in your receiver manual to see what the low frequency cut-off is so you know what to set your sub crossover at. This way, you won't lose part of your sound.

**Q: Do you need a receiver to use these? or can i just hook up to my tv?**
A: I have seen TVs that have speaker outputs, but it's pretty rare. If your TV has those, they'd be labeled "External Speakers" or something like that. Otherwise you need a receiver or at least an amplifier.

**Q: Is this price for one speaker or the pair**
A: Try to confirm: As of today 12/03/2021, the price list is $99.00 and in the title, it says: "single" and in "What in the box" says: 1 tower speaker. So this price is for 1 single speaker and not a pair of speakers. Is this correct?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Snap them up when they are on sale. Great value
*by N***R on November 23, 2017*

I am very experienced at listening to loudspeakers as I designed and manufactured the nOrh brand of loudspeakers a few years ago. One of the speakers that we marketed was the nOrh 3.0 which sold for less than $100 a pair. It had a full range driver and could produce sound above 80 Hz. There is no end to the uses a small/low-cost loudspeaker can serve. Whether it is for a low-cost system to put in a garage, rear speakers for an AV system or desktop speakers for a computer system, small, low-cost loudspeakers have many applications. I wanted to do an experiment to produce a low-cost system that sounded good. I bought a Mo-Gu 50W Class D amplifier for about $30.00. I bought a larger power supply than what was furnished for another $12.00 or so. I then found the Polk T15s on sale for $50.00. I had not heard these speakers before but at $50.00, I knew they would be good enough for my experiment. When the speakers came in, I wired up the pair of speakers and connected the system to the Amazon Dot that I bought on sale for $29.00. I could have also used the Google Audiocaster but that would require me to always have my phone to control the system. For less than $100.00, the Polk T15, Mo-Gu amplifier, and power supply could produce sound is quite respectable for less money than the many Bluetooth boxes that are sold for more than $200.00. Combining the system with the Amazon dot, pushed to the total cost to just over $100.00 but greatly increased the functionality. For less than I had paid for my Grace Internet Radio, I now had a voice-controlled music system capable of playing Internet Radio or streaming music from a variety of sources. The Mo-Gu amplifier also features Bluetooth. At first play, the Polk Audio T15 sounded a bit shrill and constrained. I recognized this as meaning the speakers needed to be broken in. After 100 hours of breaking in, the Polk Audio T15s have lost all their shrillness. On the good side, the Pold Audio T15s play loud and confidently. They are tonally balanced and don't have any bad characteristics. I still find them a bit bright but not offensively so. Obviously, there is no deep bass. I would suspect that the speakers roll off about 70Hz. The bass that is produced is clean. The T15s don't suffer from trying to overdo what they are capable of. The Polk T15s are capable of filling a room with pleasant sound from the modest Class D amplifier I was using. I didn't push them very hard and the small amplifier was more than enough to fill my room. I asked Alexia to play all sorts of music. I listened to lots of jazz, folk and blues. I spent over an hour listening to the Persuasions. The Pok T15s never blew me away but they never offended me either. The stereo effect was very good but there was no imaging what so ever. The sounds were either coming from the right or the left. While many audiophiles would not like this description, having left and right information clearly presented is much better than what many people listen to with so many sound systems jamming lots of speakers in a small box where there is no separation at all. The little Polks tried to produce sound that comes outside the box but never managed to extend its sound field more than a foot or two from the box itself. The Polk Audio T15s always sounded like a box speaker but got an E for effort trying. The Polk T15s would be great for rear speakers. They are loud, clear and balanced. The port is in the front making it easy to hang on the wall. They look very good for their price. For about $100 when the T15s are on sale, you can put together a system much cheaper than what it costs to buy a Sonus. The Sony Play5 does have better bass but you could mate the T15s to a low-cost subwoofer and blow away the Sonus Play3s or Play5s. The Polk Audio T15 is a very good choice for a low-cost over achiever.
