In case anyone wanted to read it: Polk HTS12

They seemed quite impressed with it for its price point.

    VERY NICE review for sure!
    Thanks.

    Anybody with the Signature series might want to add one to match if they don't have something already.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I was thinking about a HTS-10 to replace my Velodyne, and after reading that, I think that is what I’ll go with, if the HTS-10 is anything like it’s big brother.

    Yes very nice review. I've always recommended the Polk 505 for people who didn't want to spend on an HSU or SVS. Most have been happy with it. Now Polk is offering a big step up from the 505, nice to see.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    Nice review. So the performance (and looks) will compliment the line well.

  • My hts12 is only a few weeks old. It only works for a few seconds and then stops. The Red LED started flashing.
    Can anyone tell me why this is doing this?

    Probably an amp issue. @KennethSwauger can you help?
