L600 gets a very positive review from TAS

curt57

Finally an in depth review of the L600, in one of the leading audio publications. The current issue of the Absolute Sound gives high praise to the speaker, commenting on its extended bass (sub woofer probably not needed), accuracy, and detail. Summing up the review with, no reservations at all about the speaker.
The L600 will be on my short list, for replacing my aging Lsi 15's.

They don't publish it on the website until after the magazine has been out for a while.

"2022 Golden Ear: Polk L600 Loudspeaker

REVIEW by Drew Kalbach Dec 13th, 2022
Polk L600 Loudspeaker
$1749

The Polk L600 is an affordable, gorgeous, imposing loudspeaker. It is heavy at over 70 pounds, beautifully designed, and wonderfully finished with woodgrain sides and a smooth baffle. Its impedance is 4 ohms with 86dB sensitivity, meaning it’ll need a bit more power to truly sing, so keep that in mind when building a system. But once a pair of these beauties is situated, aligned to the room, and given enough juice, you’ll get what you paid for. The sound is deep and tight, with a fantastic low end that rumbles and kicks with amazing speed. The midrange is smooth and pleasant, and the high end has a nice sparkle thanks to the Pinnacle ring tweeter. It’s the realistic bass that makes the L600 stand out: kick drums have remarkable weight and impact without becoming muddled, perhaps due to Polk’s enhanced Power Port. I found myself flipping through genres with pleasure. Jazz, rock, electronic, whatever I threw at it, the Polk L600 delivered an engaging and exciting experience. The L600 needs to be on the radar of any budget-conscious audiophile looking for a pair of speakers with solid heft and surprising musicality."
