Speaker choice
I want Polk audio for sure for my home audio. The issue is not many places have center speakers on demo. I have contacted some resellers and have gotten several different opinions. I would ask the community to see some opinions on a center channel and sub package that would not break the bank. Looking to spend under $500. Will be driving the speakers with a pioneer receiver. Opinions are greatly appreciated.

You have to tell us what Polk speakers you're aiming to get for the main L and R.
Then a bunch of members will give you great advice from experience.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Thanks you so much for some of the answers. Relight now I am starting with the center channel/sub and will work my way towards other speakers. I do have 2 tea and 2 front speakers that are wired into my ceiling BUT they are the just basic ones the electrician installed. I will be replacing those over time.

If you want speakers that do well with both music and movies, then the Signature series is the way to go.
