Pros A value and performer that is well beyond what is expected.
Cons I wish the cherry finish was still available, you snooze you loose.
Recommended it? Yes

I have had a few nice speaker set ups in my time including Polk, Klipsch, B&W Etc.. I listen to high resolution formats like DVD-Audio and SACD every day.My friends and family would call me an audiophile but I just enjoy a dialed in system.

I purchased these Polk R30's Last night at Fry's... Read full review »

Pros Price, built, sound quality
Cons None, to a non-audiophile "normal" living person!
Recommended it? Yes

It's been a while I was looking for those R30 speakers from fry's that went on and off the sale price of $39.99 a piece. Finally I told to myself that I need them for sure and pulled the trigger on a sunny day! I had to call the CSR at Outpost.com in order to be able to get a pair of them since... Read full review »

Pros A speaker that's just the right size: great for movies, and good for music
Cons Music is accurate, yet it falls a little short on liveliness: bass is good though
Recommended it? Yes

After I reviewed the Alpha 20's from 'Infinity', I also remembered a speaker that was also sold at the Future Shop that surprised me in it's quality. Polk Audio brought out the "R" series a few years back, and were already discontinuing the series. Still, they had lots to sell off. Inside our... Read full review »

Polk R30s, ok for the price I paid

byrayvalle1977 May 21, 2005

Pros Decent lows.
Cons Imbalance mids to highs.
Recommended it? Yes

I saw these were on sale for $80 for the pair so I looked at reviews and decided to slap down the cash. Well at first I was impressed with the lows these speakers produced with such small drivers compared to my old 20 year old speakers which have more and larger drivers . After comparing the two I...

Pros very transparent sound, slighty warm sound, strong defined bass from port.
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

AUDIOPHILE like speakers that get out of the way of music, don't pronounce themselves in any way...that give music any nothing else, that is R30. clean, clear and strong bass. I bought these on a lark from Fry's and using a pioneer d412 to drive them for HT and stereo. This is a match made in... Read full review »

Pros Great sound, great looks, great size, great price.
Cons They were not free.
Recommended it? Yes

Remember that song "You're simply the best....." That is what I think of these (for the price anyway). I bought these without even seeing them in person and I am just amazed now how good these are. They are well built, sound great and got them for $120 shipped from Outpost.

They are just... Read full review »

Pros they look nice and have a small floor footprint
Cons tinny midrange and grating treble
Recommended it? No

I just had a pair of Polk Audio R30 towers delivered for $49.99 each + shipping from Outpost.com. I connected them to both a Harmon-Kardon HK 3480 receiver and Hafler DH-220 power amplifier and listed to them with a variety of sources including Scott Ross's classic Scarlatti harpsichord, acoustic...

Best bang for the buck!

Pros Great imaging and sounds great for home theater
Cons Does seem to lack that 'livelyness'
Recommended it? Yes

I'm not a guy that knows what an overly expensive sound system setup sounds like. But I do know that I like what I hear. I have a set of R50s for the front and yes R30 for the rear. Yes... the R30s (for the price I had to pick these up)

Coupled with me Onkyo TX-SR502 Saving Private Ryan... Read full review »
