Review for the Polk AMR150's

 

[corinthos]

These are supposed to be pretty bumpin' speakers! Sweet deal if it comes thru yo!

 

[syi123]

How much was shipping for you?

Polk makes some nice speakers. Sounds hot.

 

[corinthos]

[MisterNi]

Shipping from TN to CA is $30 which brings the price to $69.99 shipped to me.

 

[corinthos]

Well... neither of those shops are listed with resellerratings.com... hmm... also what's up with the sharp price cuts? These things are like $179 yo...

BEfore anyone get suckered....


From PC MAgazine:

The Polk Audio AMR150 ($150 street) is plagued by an underpowered amplifier, badly designed satellites, and a meager 4-inch bass driver. The system produces virtually no extreme high end, and its output is badly muddied by low-to-midrange boominess

Well, I suppose these speakers aren't for everyone, but the AMR150's are supposedly THE 4.1 channel speakers for music that're under $200.

That pc magazine review is pure BS. They gave the polks 1/5 and the klipsch v2-400 5/5 I think those ratings should be swapped.
I got a set of the polks from wholesale connection three weeks ago and my experience was quite positive, shipping was quick and the package was well packed, lots of packing peanuts. They have a two positive ratings on bizrate last time I checked.
I have owned many pc speakers from brands like creative, altec, monsoon, boston acoustics, and the polks are one of my favorites! They really deliver the goods, and a total steal for $70 shipped (I paid $80 shipped)

And no, I don;t work for polk or wholesale

$30 for shipping? Not for me I spose.
