>> Nice speakers. If you need a small set of speaker, like I said, for rear surround, they'd be great. Little bookshelves for a smaller area, they'd be great. Just some really nice sounding little speakers. Very efficient, too.Watch T
The low-end punch is impressive. You get deep, warm bass that adds weight without muddying the rest of the sound. If you're building or expanding a home theater system, the T15s are especially awesome because they're compatible with Dolby and DTS surround setups. That means you can use them as left, right fronts, as rear surrounds, or even as part of a multi-speaker poke system.Watch G

This feels more future-proof but also more complicated, plus the speakers have got mixed reviews. and I'm not sure if it'll outperform the ELACs within the same budget.Read C
However, after using these speakers for several weeks now, my only complaint would be that the woofers can sometimes get a bit blown out at extremely high volumes. Not to say it's bad, but if you're an audiophile who likes to crank up the bass, this might not be the best fit for you.Watch E
I have those Polk T15 and I can tell you they don't sound like they sound here, they're amazing for their size.Watch S
