This review is from: Polk Audio OWM5 Multi-Purpose Home Theater Speaker (Black) (Electronics)
listened to just about every speaker in this price range and bang for the buck these things took the cake. They sound better than mayny speakers costing much more (Bose did not even come close. Bose are great for the size, but lack midbass and their subs are not great). They have very clear high to upper mid range, but they are light on the lower mid and obviously the bass, which they are not designed for. I have them as my side seakers in a 7.1 system with a Denon 1911 receiver, TSI300 Rear, CS20 center, PSW 505 sub, and the tSI 500 fronts, and it sounds amazing. A couple of my firends that spend far more are very jellous, which is always nice. At first I was disapointed, but apparently they require a break in period and after playing them for a few days fairly regularily, they came around nicely. I am very happy with my purchase decision. As I said, you can get better speakers, but you will be paying far more.

I also tested the OWM3, which also sound great, and are much cheaper, but the higher efficiency (Put out more sound per wattage), and the verall sound quality on the OWM5's made the extra money good for me.
