I am interested in Polk Audio. Whats the difference between the TL 1600, 1900, and 2600? 1900 has 10" sub but is 100.00 cheaper???

do some research, I don't know the difference but what I have (TL 1600) is not disappointing. this system sounds really good. what's that saying "you pay for what you get"

Marc, I don't know the specs of the Wetsounds HT6 you've referred to. I'm powering (4) 6x9 3-way Polk Audio speakers with (1) channel each and a 10" Polk Audio sub with the remaining (2) channels bridged together. So far it kicks hard, (classic rock, blues & jazz)actually way more power than I need in a 22' Scarab. The only thing I don't like so far is the large size & weight of the Pyle. I read mixed reviews about the quality of Pyle amps, but decided to try it since I got it for +/-$160... Happy trails, Mark

personally i think (one) should have towers that go down to or close to 20Hz and no sub, or bookshelves (to save space) and a sub that goes down to about 20Hz. (Yamaha YST-SW315) i do not see what good big towers are for anymore if you are going to have a sub and then set your receiver to cut low frequencies to 80Hz and higher anyway? keep in mind humans are only supposed to be able to hear between 20Hz and 20Khz. and check your receiver for your cross over settings. mine for instance are 50, 80, 100, 150Hz. use that as a guide to how low you want your bookshelves to go. my books cut off at 50Hz, so i dont want to use the 50 (to not put too much of a load on my books thus making them better midranges. i can use 80 and 100 but not 150, because my sub stops at 140Hz. if your receiver has more and smaller increments for the cross over than mine you will have more options for your bookshelves. my polks (RTi4) go down to 50Hz and sound pretty good and deep at moderate volumes, about the same as the 12" towers they replaced.... but if you want to turn it up to "louder" volumes they become a bit more stressed, not as accurate and want to distort. which is why i got the sub. i got the books in the first place because i was getting sick of the amount of space the towers took up (4 - 12"woofers) the polk TSi200's look like the best "match" for the 'Polk Cs20 center', but the RTi4's are only missing a few less in lower freq. (which you might not need anyway due to the Xover thing) and has 1 5.25" 'driver' where the TSi has 2. the RTi4 is a little more than HALF the price of the TSi200's. ---also keep in mind among all these types of reviews, 'taste in sound' is subjective.---

I don't believe there is any difference but I would suggest you go to Polk Audio's web site to verify. It could just be a name change on Amazon's site.

I looked up the tuner and i can say it would be perfect match my friend, because the tuner is the right amount of watts 80 watts just get a 12 inch woofer at least ok because the speakers do sound good but really would sound better with a bigger sub, please you have to make sure you separate the sound good, i sold them ASAP because my tuner was at 120 watts per channel way too many, they feel cheap but much better them a lot of speaker i have owned, if you want a very good sounding speaker take your time and by piece by piece polk you can buy on ebay but go with polk.com and down on the right click on polk ebay and get the refurbished- they are good as new trust me i have the TSI300 & Monitor 50s like new you cant tell- so take your time man trust me with the Onkyo will sound so good it would blow you away, if you have any other Q.A please email me bro?

A good set of serious speakers for your new receiver would be the Polk LSiM707. It is a blast.

Amazing how Amazon missed this. Google polk tl2 center and go to the Polk Audio site.

I'm sold on the 8060 with powered sub, great for both music and movies. We previewed the smaller ProCenter 1000 and some other larger center channels, but kept going back to the 8060 for fuller sound and more punch. We have a large Paradigm powered sub in the back corner for overall movie soundtrack range, but this improves the action front and center.

The newer 400 might have some advantage with the subwoofer being long throw floor firing. Not sure if its a $200 advantage. Other than that I highly recommend getting a 60.6 set while they last. I have been extremely pleased.

The refurbished ones directaly from Polk are 375 delivered a great deal on ebay only. I have had a pair for two years and it would cost me thousands to get a better sound. I use them for two channel audio and drive them with a tube amp.

Even though I bought the Pioneers myself, I'd recommend the Polks. I love my Pioneers, so don't get me wrong. If the Polks were $200 like they are here vs $50 for the Pioneers (the current price here at Amazon), I'd say go with the Pioneers. But $100? Jump at it. Unless they're beat up or defective.

Your higher end speaker manufacturers match and balance the speaker drivers and sizes for optimized sound between speakers. So, ideally, matching is better. For me, a lover of good sound, with few coins, you get what you can when presented on sale. I have the Klipsch RC-42 II center speaker, Wharfedale Diamond 10.4 side speakers and the 8" Yamaha sub that came with my Yamaha receiver. I've tweaked the crossovers, distance and volume settings and really love what I hear. When working with good quality speakers and a good amp, you can't go too far wrong!

I own polk monitors 30 slightly smaller 5 1/2 woofer but 1 "tweeter, from either bookshelf bass will be lacking, these two are close but the primus 163 imo is better very nice sound it is a large bookshelf, solid, heavy nice grill. I really like the primus 163, the primus are a great speaker for the price I have compared far and wide you can't beat the quality for the cost. set up is 2 363, p351 and 2 163 and a f 12 sub power is emotiva fusion 8100 and xpa 3

I've always admired the treble and highs on polk audios. That's just my opinion though. Infinity is a good brand too.

I have the Polk TSi400's. Doing a side-by-side sound comparison is virtually impossible anymore since few if any stores will carry both speakers you are considering like these. I have seen the Pioneers before and will say that the Polks are much more expensive looking. The Pioneers have gotten favorable reviews in the audio publications however. I have zero regrets about buying the Polks and I paid more than the current selling price.

1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2. The satellite speakers on the 600 have a mid/range radiator on top. Evidently their bookshelf answer to their bi-polar drivers of the BP series.3. Subwoofer on the 600 has a 250 watt amp where as the 60.6 only has a 150 watt.That being said, I own the 60.6 and I am extremely happy. I use them with a Denon AVR-2310. If you have a larger than 400 sq ft theater space I would consider a second or more powerful sub. But at the current $219 (which is hilarious as the sub itself sells for $299) I see the set going for, its kind of hard to go wrong. 1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2.

I think most of the polk products work well together. I would suggest reading some audio forums, they would much more experience than me. Good Luck!
