I just got my set yesterday on sale at Best Buy and I’m loving them. I previously owned some really awesome Klipsch towers but had to leave them behind in Hawaii when I moved to Texas. I made a brief dalliance into soundbars and grew to miss the clarity and depth of separates. Soundbars work well in bedrooms but I prefer my new separates system in the family room. Having 7.1 Polk speakers connected just makes a world of listening difference. Great review. I’m a little late to the party but I’m glad I finally made it! 👍🏼

I appreciate your honest evaluation. You are right about Best Buy's listening environment. NO speakers sound as good there as they will at home. I have had the chance to compare (in my home) the Pioneer SP-FS52's to Polk Monitor series, tower speakers (a step earlier and below the T50's) and I clearly preferred the Polks, which I believe have been underrated. Too often, after higher-end speaker companies have prospered (for example, Infinity and NHT) they are taken over by or sold to a larger concern that does not maintain the original standards. It is refreshing to see that in the case of Polk, mass production can be done according to established standards and the product offered to the public at bargain prices due to the larger number sold.

Got a pair of these running off a Yamaha as500 integrated amp, audio technica turntable and an older rotel CD player. in the living-room of my 1000sq ft apartment they rock!! lol

would these be good to use as reference speakers in a recording studio ? I have high end Adam monitors but would like a hi-fi speaker setup for checking my mix and master on for real world perspective

I know this is an old video... But if you can answer... How do thess compare to the R40 towers from Polk Audio. They have 2 5-1/4 drivers.. No passive radiators.. and the same, or very similar tweeter. Is the R40 a better or equal speaker to the T50

I am thinking about getting these i am still running infinity reference 2000.6 will these be a big improvement

How well will they be when paired with pioneer vsx330 basic av receiver. I am currently using Boston acoustics a26 bookshelf so will these Polk t50's be upgrade? I am bit unhappy with placement of Boston's else good

Well I was going to get them for a new avr receiver? So you wouldn’t recommend them for that?

Hopefully someone can help me in using the old school Insignia ns-b211 pretty powerful bookshelf speakers for how old they are.. Would I hear a upgrade with these.? Thanks

Good review - I would not have considered this speaker but since I saw your review I will consider them

I heard other tests with the T50. Impressive bass sound. But I miss a little bit of medium sound. I think that this can be adjusted on the receiver.

your right I have heard these speakers. they sound amazing in a small to medium room. I heard them at best buy and to surprise you they sounded wonderful and I was sold on them. nice and honest review

If you could had to choose between Polk audio t50 or elac uni-fi ub5, which would you choose as your only speakers?

Hello. I have a t30 center and t15 for rear channel. I currently have the t15 for the front channel but wondering if I should change it to the t50s. I have a paradigm sub pdr100 I think it is that I use with this setup and two Titan v3 that I use just for music and I switch to the polk for the surround with movies. Thank you

How does the T50 compare with the Pioneer SP-FS52´s?

bought a pair of Polk towers in 1999 from Circuit City. The salesman explained that each instrument in the recording was easy to recognize. Still have them and it is still true.

Thank you for all your videos! How would these speakers sound paired with the Iotavx?

what speaker you sujest me over 400 , i have yamaha rx v383 amplifire

You mentioned the Polk Audio RTi series at the end. What was the story behind the tweeter? Ive seen a few Polk Audio RTi speakers on sale here lately that has been very tempting to buy. I don't want to make a mistake and waste time and money.

For $150 for a pair (on sale) how would you rate these against something like a Fluance SX6 bookshelf for a simple low budget TV 2.1 system?

Will these polk audio t50 work with my carver pm-1.5 amplifiers

if you had the choice between these and the S15 bookshelf from polk which woudl you say sounds better?

hey, what about the T15 bookshelf speakers? Are they as good as the floorstanders? i wanted to get the T50 floorstanders but since im shipping abroad the floorstanders will cost way more to ship due to height and weight! So is the T15 good? wanted 2 pairs for a surround sound system. How do they compare to pioneer sp-bs22 bookshelves? Originally was planning to get the pioneer set but they are too bulky and cost way more to ship!!

i discover polk audio when i first purchase a PC in 1997. it came with it. i the speaker was so small and when i listen to music it was so well balance. the vocal was so nice. i used to buy only pioneer and sony brand. now polk audio is added to my list. pioneer is good for super loud and crystal clear. polk for some reason has slightly better higher end for instrumental. i listen to instrumental a lot.

any update to these ? i made the mistake of trying to compromise between surround sound and quality music. this can be done ,,,maybe. ive gone to the music direction,, 2 channel,,, mostly. i have 4 edifire that broke in nicely and a pair of new yamaha big shelf speakers. Time for large scale imaging.

Love it! How do these compare to some of the latest 2-way speakers you have reviewed?

How come floor speakers no longer have huge drivers and are all so thin and tall?

Hi, I'm from Rio de Janeiro. I'm supporting a friend to buy a pair of front speakers for their home theater. I listened to the Yamaha NS-F51, 555 and 777, and I didn't like any of them. I found the sound metallic and with harmonics mixing. I listened to two Polk models, S50 and T50, and I really liked the cost-benefit of the T50, considering it far superior to any of the 3 Yamaha I heard. I looked more for the T50 and so I got to your video, which came to ratify my thinking. I have 2 Lando LX-4000 speakers box (Brazilian with imported speakers) from the 80's. They were Top at the time and continue to serve me well on my HT, as they have an incredible definition. They present a balanced and well-defined sound like few others and, through experience with it, I feel free to analyze other modern ones. I'll keep looking, but for the price and quality, I think the T50 will serve my friend well, who doesn't want to spend a lot. Congratulations on your channel and your knowledge, surely obtained through a lot of study.

Hi Sean, you've done a GREAT job with your videos, I check out your comments almost every week. I'm completely sold by your recommendation of the Polk Audio T50, I'm thinking of coupling it with a turntable... what do you think? And most of all, for CD listening... what would your personal choice BE for amplifiers for the T50? Can't wait to hear from you.

I remember meting Matthew Polk! So. Are the T50's suitable as front channel speakers in a home theater set up? Thank you in advance. James

What about using these for rear surround?

How do you think these would sound with the PS Audio Sprout 100?

I have the whole set of the t series and they sound great I watch a lot of movies and the don't distort and there great with music I hear sound from older song that I didn't hear on other speakers I have would recommend the t series to anyone who like big sound

If you are in a small room and if you aren't a bass-head, then the T50's should be fine. If you're in a bigger space or if you flat out like deep, visceral bass, then yeah, a sub or two may be in order.

Thanks my friend

Frys had them for $59 each today. Couldn't pass them up at that price. $118 for the pair, free shipping and no sales tax! I'm stoked.

Just got some for $80 a piece, they do sound pretty damn good especially for that price

I second this review/conclusion.

Are the rest of the polks speakers the same? Like the rest of the woofers are just joker's? Rti a9s

I agree completely with your fair and accurate review, well done. Mine arrived today and I'm completely blown away. Polk got it right.

Why did I find this four years late? These must be great value

I bought a pair of Klipsch RP-8000Fs about a year ago and I really like them with certain types of music but with music i like best like hard rock and metal they just killed me on the highs. Well I got a pair of these for $150 a pair from Best Buy for black friday last year for my office and I started to notice how much more balanced these were and sounded better over all. Sure they aren't as dynamic and can't fill a room on music like Steely Dan and Classical music but they sounded really good on a wider range of music. I since bought a set of RP-600Ms for my office and put the Polk in the living room. They match extremely well with my 12" Klipsch sub. The RP-8000s are sitting in my spare room. My wife of course is giving me crap since my $1500 speakers are collecting dust while I listen to the $150 speakers.

You deserve tons more subscribers

So 5 years after this review I wanted some new rear surrounds. Fronts and center are Polk so I figured I would go with Polk again. I got the T15 which are part of the T50 class. I have heard the T50 but they are not as good as my A7s or A3's. Maybe it's me but I like the tweeter. Fact is it needs a break in period. I would say give it 3 months but ideally 6 months and to me that tweeter has smoothed out over those time periods. I digress. I asked myself how good can this T series be. I like the prices but what about sound? Before I put the T15's in place in the rear I compared them to the older Yamaha's that they are replacing. I ran the test in stereo using music. Not bad Yamaha and they have held up nicely after 25 years. However the T15 high end just really impressed. A short test because a few hours listening to jazz and jazz vocals. Wow I wish that I had a smaller room and these could be my fronts! If I was in a dorm room or apartment, these T15''s would be all that I would need assuming I am not doing bass heavy House or hip hop. That's where I think the T50's should take over. They too would be excellent is a smaller room. I have yet to purchase a bad speaker model from Polk and that's saying alot. I have had a few Sony, Klipsch and others that just didn't cut it.

+Agustín Rivera - Hey Agustin. The A7's are great speakers that do a lot of things well. Since I'm pretty familiar with their sound, I have no problems dishing out my thoughts on em'. Getting right to it... The A7's bring a lot of good things to the table. They are extremely power efficient, they throw out a massive soundstage, they boast of a very lively and dynamic sound, they are relatively full-range, and best of all - they are very easy to work with and tend to sound good with a lot of 'real world' music. The only downside? That tweeter. Not only is it boosted in a way that draws attention to itself, the treble can become rather bright on certain gear and on poor recordings. Some people like this type of sound while others don't. Personally speaking, I could use the A7's for a HT and be happy for the rest of my days. If however, I were to use them for stereo listening, I'd be sure to pair them with a good tube amp. Hope this helps!

These or a pair of polk s55 can't decide between the two models any one out there who can help.

Hello, thank you for your review of the Polk T50 speakers. Please bear with my prelude to my dilemma. I'm not and Audiophile by any means, but I do love, appreciate, and want the best sounding equipment I can afford. By afford, I don't mean putting a $5,000.00 sound system on a credit card. I'm trying to put together the best sound system I can for $500.00. My current listening preference consists of 80% home theater and 20% music (all types). I began with a Onkyo TX545 receiver, Paradigm center channel, two Paradigm Titans (front), two Paradigm Atoms (rear channel) and a 100 Sony subwoofer (all used). The system sounded ok but not as good as I'd like. I have since bought two (used) Polk RT800 floor speakers (front), a (used) Polk cs300 center channel, and moved the Paradigm Titans to the rear. The Sony subwoofer just didn't cut it, so I actally purchased a (new) Polk sub on sale at Best Buy for $100.00. Much better lows/bass, however, the sound is lacking the high frequency sound of the cymbals in Van Halen's "Atomic Punk". I NEED that! So now, I went out and bought two (new) Polk T50`s on sale at Best Buy for $150.00. They are still in the box and I'm hoping they will give me the highs that I'm looking for? Before I unbox them, I'd like your opinion. Will these T50`s make those cymbals stand out or do you have another recommendation (within the same price range). BB also has some Klipsch R-51 bookshelf speakers on sale for $124.00. Also keep in mind that I don't have a clue about the receiver settings. I just plug the speakers in and listen. I don't know about Crossover, phase, dB, and the other adjustments that I think it has. Your advice would be much appreciated!

Amazon has these for $89 ea with Prime... Sounds like a steal to me.

+Yippie - Aw man. I knew that question was going to pop up! So here's my take on that comparison: If you plan on connecting these speakers to an A/V receiver, then I think both of these speakers compete very evenly with one another. The Polks are a bit more expressive than the Pioneers, and I think they have the upper hand when it comes to seamless driver integration. However, the Pioneers have a softer upper midrange and despite using smaller drivers, their larger (ported) cabinet helps to give the bass a tad more "oomf". This allows the Pioneers to do a better job of filling a big space with sound. Now, if you plan on using these speakers in a typical hi-fi setup, this is where I think the Polks begin to distance themselves from the Pioneers. As EXCELLENT as the Pioneers are, I think the Polks beat them in tone, driver integration, and bass articulation. As soon as you get those Polks off the ground, they offer a level of performance that I was never able to achieve with those Pioneers. Now on the flip side, I'd take a pair of Pioneer bookshelf speakers (BS21's or 22's) over the Polk T15's any day of the week. But when it comes to a tower vs tower comparison? Yeah, it's the T50's for me. And by no small margin.

I have shortlisted pioneer fs52, magnat monitor supreme 802 and then I saw t50s and your video. I am confused. Also please suggest if I should look at mohrs. I plan to spend 400 euros for towers and decent stereo receiver . Can you suggest something ?

T50. Made in China. $5 tweeters, $10 woofers. $10 crossover. Polk USED to use Peerless, and a Vifa ring tweeter in the LS series.

A lot of cheap audio components sound Great. That pisses off some audiophiles!

I may have made this comment before, if I have I apologize in advance. I bought a pair of these from Frys Electronics before the COVID-19 pandemic, for a song. (Sorry couldn't help that pun just sort of squawked out • darn did it again) Anyway, these are some very nice speakers, especially for the money. I have them paired with a DIY 10" sub. I decided at that price, even if they weren't what I expected, I could sell them and not lose money. Turns out they're keepers. Thanks Sean for your honest review.

+Andre tabares - Hey! The Onkyo 9050 should have zero issues driving the Polk T50's. The only thing you need to be aware of is that Onkyo units tend to sound a little bumped up in the treble, so you may find yourself using the tone controls to mitigate that effect. Otherwise, you're good. The most important thing is paying attention to how you set these speakers up. I uploaded a "Bonus video" which goes over a few things that you can do to maximize the performance outta the T50's. They really are fantastic speakers for the $$.

+Zero Fidelity What would be your choice of a budget integrated amplifier (under $300) that would match well with the Polk T50 speakers?

+Lawrence Rodgers Furthermore , the integrated amp must be available at Best Buy.

Gunna put it on the Best Buy card? Honestly man, I don't see an integrated amp at Best Buy worth getting below $300. Given their catalogue, you're best off with the Yamaha RS300BL stereo receiver for $279.

Yamaha makes the best AV's for Home Theater IMO without a doubt! Years of wasting money brought me to Yamaha AV's.
