Hello, I see speakers that look remarkably like this one, for much less. How do they compare to the original?

Mine are about a year and a half old and the speakers are the same. Can't hear any difference between the two but we use them for mainly watching movies on our home theater system. So much to like about them, a perfect combination of great sound and design. They replaced bose 901 III's and am very happy with the switch.

Phil,as I noted in my review, we use these speakers in the upgrade automobile systems we build-they are not junkers! I have had mine for several months and they still look and sound a good as new. Plenty of power and clarity, also plenty of bass "ummph" for gaming. Good speakers at a good price...hope you have Amazon Prime.

I don't find the EQ to make all that much difference but I never do. The sound quality out of the deck is excellent but I have added aftermarket speakers as well and a subwoofer. I wouldn't expect a miraculous change if you leave in low quality OEM speakers.

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.

I had two different friends pickup CX-300's on my recommendation. Both opted for the < $20 retailers, and both ended up with fakes.Generally speaking, if you bought them off eBay you can bet that it's a counterfeit, which I've begun calling "Fakeheisers". These are good knockoffs; unless you had a pair of real Sennheisers to compare them with it'd be hard to tell the difference in appearance without disassembly. The sound though, is far, *far* inferior to the real thing. If you want Sennheiser quality, buy from a reputable dealer. If you try to get the lowball deal, you might as well go for any old generic Chinese phones instead. I had two different friends pickup CX-300's on my recommendation.

In my opinion, the quality of these units is identical to that of the Bose. Besides, TIC originally invented these "in-ground" style outdoor speakers back in the 80's, so Bose's model is simply an overpriced copy of these.

I purchased a pair of speakers for about $329. They sound as if they cost much more and are cosmetically attractive.

Hey Huy I'm not exactly sure why but it could be that this is an older model of the same speaker. Usually if the same model is on sale it is from last or previous years. I hope that this helps and let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks Jane H. Dogfunk Gearhead

I cannot tell you if it is better sound, but I bought 3 of these slims and they look really nice being the same. I am also very pleased with the sound. Lastly I had been looking at one of the more expensive active center speakers from Martin Logan - but they were $1500-$2000. I am sure that would have been sounding better but at a much higher price.

I am not sure but Ive owned these speakers for 5 years and have been happy with them . The sound quality is good . One thing I did not like was the keyhole for mounting on the back of the smaller speakers but besides that they are good. Hope that helps you a bit.

I'm not sure I noticed that difference, ans I too had the original. The only gripe I have with the new one is that they tried ti get too cute with the Street2 and add a bass boost that cannot be turned off. I liked the sound of the original better allowing me to adjust the equalization at the source.

No they don't have to be the same brand. I did alot of research and I purchased Klipsch bookshelf speakers for mine. My research found Klipsch to be #1 rated and all the reviews I read were positive. I purchased mine from Hh Gregg and got them for $99 each. They are awesome for such a small speaker.

I've never heard of that brand, and the second speaker I bought had different lettering on it but still had the Earson brand. Yours looks the same, but I can't vouch for its quality.

just for one, and if you look you can find the 75T for the same price and they are a lot better speaker, amazon isn't the only one selling these

You are correct those are the series 4 version of the speakers. I choose those because of the built-in wall mounts/stands on the series 4...and the price difference didn't hurt either. I can't tell the difference in sound quality.
