Looking for sattelites to replace my Polk floor standing

[vaq130]

Hi, would like to try a set of satellites vs my current floor standing set, reason prefer higher tones vs bass, what Polk or other satellites should I consider??

Thanks

Look into the new TL line of sats.

Polk Blackstones

Definitely the new Blackstones !!

The fun starts at the TL2 series but if you have the moolah for the TL3 range, definitely go with those :)

Maybe Polk should hire Keith Stone, the guy who does keystone beer commercials, to do print ads for the Blackstones.:tongue:

I have asked this question before, but what is the difference between the TL2 and TL3 speakers? I can afford either set. I plan on buying the 550 Wi or the 440 Wi sub. I do appreciate the advice of the forman, but i would like to know if it is worth the extra money.

TL3 has Polk's Dynamic Balance ring radiator tweeter. If you can afford it, buy it. It's better.

To quote the literature:

The incredible accuracy of the Ring Radiator Tweeter
The Ring Radiator Tweeter has never been used in a compact loudspeaker before! You will hear the kind of incredible accuracy and detail (beyond even 30kHz!) you expect from a full-sized loudspeaker. The Ring Radiator Tweeter is found only in the world's highest of high-end loudspeakers, including our own award-winning flagship LSi and LCi Series speakers.

The new line looks nice but have any of you heard em? I'd wanna take a listen before taking a dive but i don't think anyone carries Polk near me sadly.

If budget is a consideration, the TL2 is a great speaker. If you are less concerned, definitely check out the TL3. For $300/pair, you'd be hard pressed to find a better alternative. I got my ears on both of them this weekend, and if you pair them with a solid sub, their size can be very deceiving. They offer a lot of the LSi sound without the bulk and price tag.
