Polk TL350 5 5.0-channel Blackstone series

[MrDHEJ]

Looking to upgrade/replace my curently stolen speakers with the TL350 set. Anyone have any comments on these speakers? I will be powering them with an Onkyo TX-NR809.

from what I heard, they are great. same tweeter as the Lsi, woofer uses a material similar to the Lsim

Amazing little speakers! I am using a pair for my PC music system.

That's good to hear. I was also thinking about getting a pair for the computer as well. I listen to most of my music while on the computer.

Was also considering an lsi 7.1 setup, LSi15, LSi9, LSi FX, LSiC, but since I don't use the entertainment room for much music they might be a tad overkill? Though the TX-NR809 can handle 4ohm i don't belive it's 100% rated for it. And a 4ohm 7.1 configuration may bring the 809 to it's knees.

I'd have to guess both would be about the same for movies, but miles apart with music?

TL3's for the computer sounds like a great idea. Depending on your room size, I'd probably consider the RTi series. They should sound great on that receiver and give a fuller sound than the TL3's will. I assume your room is on the larger size since you mentioned a 7 channel LSi setup.

If you decide to go with a satellite system, I highly recommend the TL3's with a nice, quick sub. They are the best I've heard. I just think you'd be better off going with a larger set if that's your main HT rig.

Sorry for the thread jack.

dkg999 what are you using to power your TL3? I have had a pair of these sitting in my closet since LSAF to use with my PC but I can't decide on what to power them with that will fit on my desk.

My entertainment room is actully on the small side. 13' wide by 18' deep. 7-8' viewing distance. I was considering the lsi 7.1 setup because of the price, but I was thinking about running a 5.1 setup, and using the lsi9's as computer speakers. I have an extra reciever pioneer vsx-d811s i was going to use for the computer, but it can't handle 4ohm. So now I'm back to considering the tl350 again.

Still thinking. Wish there was somewhere near me I could listen to them.
