Just grabbed those 150's for my rear HT speakers. They sound pretty amazing on 2 channel as a test. I think these are keepers!

What are you going to drive them with as surrounds? I have a pair I may use for surrounds removing some Rt800i's.

Yes love the bass of them, but really hard to drive them.

Phenomenal speaker, and an important model in the Polk lineage. It was touted as Polk's 'return to big', after a lot of requests for a large, non powered speaker. The 150 laid the groundwork for the 2nd gen RTi and RTiA towers that are in production now. A transistional peice if you will.

I say absolutely keep.

Cheers,

The more I listen to the 150's in 2 channel, the more I like it. Such a great performer right across the audio range. No bump anywhere. Just smooth from top to bottom. A shame in ways to hide them in the back where there isn't as much action but they sure do fill in the upper bleachers and create a ton of depth. Might have to put the M&K's back for rear HT speakers and start a 3rd system!
