    Hi Howard,
    Are you wanting to know the crossover frequency between the mid range component and the tweeter? Or, the recommended crossover frequency between the speaker and an external subwoofer?

    It's probably worth adding that ASR ("Amir") was actually quite impressed with the value per dollar of the T50 when they (he) tested it.
    Polk's products have generally fared quite well under ASR's scrutiny (whether you care for their methodology or not).

    They are lovely speakers, so musical - which is rare given the price point. definitely keepers :)

    I just picked up a set of these. Tightened all the screws. There are a lot of them. 23 per speaker if you do the bottom four and the binding post post as well. These should not sound this good for the 100.00 I gave for them. Of course I am running a modded Jolida 502 with G.L. KT 88's and a decent Topping D70 DAC so no trouble "up stream" always helps. I almost want to break them open and look over the crossovers. But, I would spend more time and money rebuilding those than both are worth. I decided to EQ them some as Amir recommended and that worked great. And yes, I know this post is ancient... 2023 is the last post in this thread looks like. But, with money the way it is right now I would imagine folks would like to know that they are a good deal if you want a set of very inexpensive set of floor standers that weigh nearly nothing. 35 lbs. each. As has been often true in the past. Polk Audio comes through for the average gal/guy.
