Polk PSW10

Serendipity

I heard this sub at Circuit City the other day and was impressed by its sound quality. I am considering this sub for a secondary room system, with Polk RTi6 bookshelf speakers as the mains. Would this be a decent sub for a small system, or should I get something bigger? And will the sound match well (even though the Polk PSW10 is part of the Monitor series and the bookshelfs are part of the RTi series)?

I have the PSW10 hooked up in my bedroom paired with some older Klipsch bookshelves and am pretty pleased with it. I don't think a sub has to be matches with the rest of the speakers so I wouldn't worry about it being a good fit for the RTi's. There's certainly better subs out there but if you could get it cheap enough I think there's a good chance you'll be happy with it.

That should work just fine.

Thanks,

I'm just looking for a good sub for music (not loud or boomy by any means).

same here. I was looking for something for my new set up including some TRi A7's wonder if it is even needed?

Not sure, I was considering going with the RTi6's without a subwoofer but I find that a sub fills in the low end nicely (when turned way down) so that it blends in with the music.
