Polk Audio Signature Series S55 200 Watt 2.0 Channel Tower Speaker (Black)

Superb sound speakers..loving these.All low , mid and high frequencies sounds comes great, i checked lowest crossover at 40 HZ and sound was amazing on songs without even woofer..! Excellent clear punchy Bass...and clear hugh frequency sound beats..!Very good speakers , now my home theater is complete with these speakers..!

These absolutely bump, I have them hooked up to a Sony STRDH190 receiver and the sound quality is amazing. I live in a 6 unit condominium complex and I'm scared to turn these up to more than 25% because I'm pretty sure they would call the police on me.

I had long wanted to build a dream home theater/surround sound system for my living room. I had an old HTIB Sony unit that was limping after a nearby lightning strike, but had always had my eye on selecting each component individually to build a system that had the power, sound quality and sophistication I was looking for.Even when at full capacity, the Sony system just felt too small when I upgraded from a Samsung 42" plasma to a 65" LG UHD 4K TV in 2016. The picture was enormous but the sound was just missing a fullness and power that was evident with the larger screen..I don't have an enormous room and I am renting our home so anything built-in was out of the question. So, piece-by-piece, I started my research.I decided to go Polk Audio for the center speaker (CS10) and bookshelf speakers (a pair of S20) and A BIC America V-1220 subwoofer. After much research, I decided to stay with the S55 floor speakers by PolkI am pushing all of this through a Denon AVR-S920W.All I can say is WOW. Even on non-5.1 content, the two floor speakers more than adequately fill the room. My old vinyl collection has jumped into a new life, with these speakers. Basic 2-channel stereo tracks sound full and powerful. The built-in woofer adds more than enough bass response to be adequate for most needs.However, when you are running DTS/Dolby Digital content, these speakers (and the rest of that system) absolutely shine. I put in the blu-ray of the original Jurassic Park movie and the walls literally shook. Items fell from the shelves. I felt like I was back in the movie theater watching this movie for the first time all over again.That has been a constant statement in our home since installing these speakers (and the rest of that system): this is exactly how it sounded at the movie theater. Even old DVDs running basic Dolby 5.1 or DTS audio sound rich, full and lifelike. Games on my Xbox are immersive I hear details I have never noticed before. I even noticed that listening to surround sound mixes of some of my favorite albums. On my old Sony HTIB system, my surround sound mix of Dark Side of the Moon was a nearly religious experience. On this system, it feels like I am in the middle of the mayhem.Get yourself some quality speaker cable, banana plugs, etc. Pair these speakers with a quality receiver and other quality components and I promise you, that you will not be disappointed.I wondered if I should have forked out the money for more expensive speakers or the next product line up from the Signature series. I am glad I saved my money because these things are absolutely fantastic.

These speakers had great bass and mid bass, but were a bit bright in the upper ranges. The bass was clear and detailed. I was surprised how well I could make out individual instruments, like the hit of a kick drum and the pluck of a stand-up bass whereas many other speakers I've listened to in a similar price range tend to muddy up all the bass. They also go low. For most music I listened to, a sub was not needed. Switching my AVR from sub = on to off (it automatically flips the mains from small to large and disables the cross-over), I was barely missing anything in 90% of the music I listened to. For movies, however, if you like to feel action scenes, I'd still recommend a good sub.They imaged decently and had a bit of a forward sound stage. They played about as wide as the speakers were positioned. I also heard separation between the drivers. Having two woofers in a TMM 2-way setup wasn't blending the drivers as well as they could be in a different configuration.The one thing that I could not get past was the brightness of female vocals. It sounded great at first, but wore on me after several minutes. One could likely tame that a bit with EQ settings.They are decently built and look good for the price. Don't expect real veneer or metal feet at this price point. They are large though (as are most floor standing speakers). Bigger than what I had in my mind reading the dimensions. The cabinets felt like they had decent bracing and rigidity. The vinyl wrap was well applied and doesn't feel like it will rip/tear from typical wear.Ultimately, I decided to go with some bookshelf speakers. Since I was going to need a sub anyhow for movies, I went with the smaller sized speaker with a wider, more enveloping sound stage and a more neutral to warm tone.If you have the space and don't mind brighter speakers (or want to play with EQ settings), these are a bargain when on sale. They do some things really well that's hard to find in other speakers less than $400/pair. At full price, they're worth a look, but have competition.

I've had the Polk S55s for almost 2 years now, and have intentionally waited to review them, to make sure I had a fair grasp of all the variables involved.I've set these polks up in 2 different listening environments, with varying sound responses but with reliably consistent performance.The polk s55 loudspeakers, when properly set up, in an almost equidistant triangle to the listening position and perhaps 18 inches from any wall boundary, offer a listening experience which is comparable to a high end listening experience.These polks are well made, perform extremely well and do so effortlessly, with clarity in the highs, mids and bass that is tight and powerful. The soundstage has depth, instruments have accurate pitch and tone, while voices have immense clarity and timbre.These polk S55s, in my humble opinion are a true value and I for one am very pleased with their performance. They handle jazz, hip hop, rap and Pop with equal agility and no sign of any lacking.I've compared these speakers to much higher end models of Bowers & Wilkins, Paradigm and others to name a few. The polks are right there with them..just a hair below in performance, for a fraction of the price.In summary, these polks represent what modern design technology and a company with pedigree and a lifetime of experience can create now..a phenomenally good performer at a significantly appreciable price point. Great for music and home theatre, these towers will not disappoint.

My everyday listening headphones are Sennheiser HD-598 cans. My desire is great sound within a medium-sized budget. I paid 600 for the pair.The Polk S55 speakers fit this perfectly. Let me tell you what I like about these speakers.Small foot print -- I had a small living room and didn't have a ton of space for large speakers. They're 12" deep, 9" wide, and 40" tall (approx.) This was perfect because they don't come out far into the room. And the speakers fit just beneath my light switch.Downward facing bass port -- Because I wanted to push these speakers right up against the wall, a rear facing bass port was a no-no.Deep bass -- I have a 10" subwoofer, but I haven't hooked it up yet. These speakers have a surprising amount of bass. Anything from Jazz to Techno has surprisingly well rounded bass.Good clarity -- Without even tweaking the EQ yet, I was surprised at the clarity in the sound. I'm powering these speakers with a fairly recent 50wpc Marantz receiver.Nice black walnut finish with rounded corners -- This is a classy looking speaker.While, I haven't spent a ton of time with this system yet, I haven't seen or heard any downsides to these speakers yet. I'll post back if I do find something I do like.If I had more space in my living room, I probably would have gotten the S60 speakers, but these are really quite good and fit my situation ideally.
