and I'm so happy. I just got a new pair of Polk speakers and they sound great.
I got model TSX330T.

These are the smallest speakers in this series, and they are pretty darn big in my
small condo. Thank god the neighbors and I all get along.

All I can say is coming from a set of TL150's these are the balls. Much fuller sound.
I was impressed with the TL150's in a small room with a small sub they were good.
These are much better. Since I cant really have a sub, want to stay on good terms
with the neighbors, I decided to go with a 2 channel system instead.

I'll get a picture of the system up soon.

Happy to have floor standers again.

    Thanks for the welcoming words. I was a Klipsch guy for a long time, but their budget speakers don't do it for me.
    These Polks are awesome. Very happy. It's nice just setting the receiver to pure direct and be done with it.

    Polk and Pioneer a great combo.

    I'm hoping to get a review posted soon. Just have to give some time to settle in and give me some time to settle in and listen
    a bit more. There is never enough hours in the day.

    I can say that I'm very happy with the purchase and for the price you can't go wrong

    I'll get some pics up later today. One thing I can say is I DONT like the new Polk badges on the speakers. The older badge
    was much nicer.

    Yea, maybe I'm not paying attention or am missing something, but you think Polk would want to announce or market their new products...especially on their own website.

    I like the two 8" passives on the TSx550T

    Ok. Here is the pic. Sorry about the quality(taken on phone)

    I am using my pioneer 1020K receiver at this time. I like this receiver for HT and its pretty good
    for 2 channel listening too.

    Is there a 2 channel receiver with HDMI in/out?

    For two channel you want to stay old school....
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    Pure direct sounds like crap on my system. Congrats on being able to make it work with yours. I feel like I'm betraying my audiophile values when I switch on the "Dynamic" settings on my AVR, but even the colored highs and exaggerated lows sound better than Pure Direct for some reason. I'm guessing that I'm just not sending enough power to the drivers.

    I actually am using stereo setting now, sounds better to me. Pure Direct was very good or very bad depending on what I was listening to
