A friend of mine at work knows I'm heavy into HT & 2 channel so she asked me to put together a system for her. She had her family room gutted & remodled so it was a perfect time for me to do the wiring.

I ran all the speaker wires in wall & had them marked for the sheetrock guys. It turned out to be a perfect fit. I also went with the Polk PSWi225 wireless sub along with a Yamahs RX-V667 AVR for her.

I finished up today & I must say the Blackstone TL2 system sounds absolutely incredible!!! My friend is still in awe over the sound. I'm still floored myself. Polk really has delivered on this new speaker line.

When my friend asked me what speakers I'd recommend I didn't even hesitate in my pick...Polk all the way. If the TL2 system sounds this incredible I'd love to get my ears on the TL3 series. Kudo's to Polk!!!

    I find these sats interesting. I've fielded a couple of questions about them on AVS, but haven't heard them. Most AVS posters start linking traditional sub/sat rigs that have matured and IMO probably are pretty run of the mill. I'd like to link them to some real world impressions...and yes, I'm very curious about the mini LSi TL3.

    Combo rig:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
    SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B
    PB13Ultra RO
    BW Silvers
    Oppo BDP-83SE

    Yep, I was just thinking along the same line while reading your experience with the TL2. :cool:

    I recently purchased the TL250, can't wait to hear them. What made me so interested in them are the reviews as there aren't any suppliers who stock polk for me to have a listen. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

    I run the tl350 in the bedroom rig. These are some really impressive speakers. I never thought for a second i would get such big sound from them but they really do deliver on what they promise and more.
