That is exactly my experience with option #1 hookup. What a waste of my money to get the subwoofer cable. Using option #2, it sounds good for both movie effects and music.
I read previous reviews about lack of low-frequecy male vocal sound from the speakers. I have no problem with low-frequency male vocal sound at all. The speakers work great in a small room (in my case, 15 ft by 20 ft).
They sound much better using option #2. The speakers have three hook up options. I tried option #2 first and then option # 1 after my subwoofer cable arrived.
Actually, I need to tune down the subwoofer volume to reduce the low frequency sounds.
Great pictures, great sound. Paired with Onkyo SR-606, Samsung LN40A450 flat screen, HDMI. New theater system in basement, fairly small area (12w by 10). Sound absorbing walls. Working back through my DVD collection now to see what i've been missing.
There is very little base. They are cheap, so maybe my expectations were too high, or maybe these just weren't meant for music.
You can barely tell the sub is on. If you crank up the volume on the subwoofer enough so you can hear it, it just rumbles, which is not pleasing to the ear.
I bought this item based on reading the reviews. I may try using my big JBL speakers for the front pair and not use the subwoofer.
I'm pretty dissapointed. It's Ok for watching movies, but, unless it's for a bedroom, or you have never had a real sound system, it's not sufficient for music.
I've read the the next model up has a better subwoofer.
Purchasing these speakers was definitely a good buy. I hooked it up as "option #2" from the polk manual, and that has worked fine so far.
I can't believe the big sound that comes out of these tiny speakers. The sub sounds good to me.
I bought these speakers a little less than a month ago in my first foray into home theater. I can do nothing but recommend these speakers to anyone.
I originally was going to go with a HTiB but decided that a separate receiver and speakers was the better option. Now, I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I like to have quality equipment.
Also, I found the best price for them($[.].) at [.].
However, it is in fact the real deal and has a great sound. I'm very pleased. Delivery was fast and efficient. I priced the PA RM6750 system at my local big stereo store where it was on clearance at $400. I was a little concerned that the Amazon price was exactly HALF of their sale price- something must be wrong. Thanks- I feel like I got a steal of a deal.
