It will depend what you are looking for.
Strength's..it has great dynamic power.
weakness it's some what bright...doesn't mate with many types of speakers.
I will say this about Yamaha...they make a good product for the money, they never over rate there power rating's.They are powerfull receiver's..all of them.

do they sound good with polks?

Yes,
the newer series Polks with the redone tweeter sounds real good.the I series, the older Polks sound slightly bright to me with Yamaha.Unless you own the RXV1,that seems to be the warmest receiver they ever made.

I OWN THE 800 AND IT IS A GREAT RECEIVER FOR THE MONEY, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT YOU CAN PICK ONE UP FOR $475-500 ON EBAY. I USE YAMAHA AMPS WITH MINE, BUT DID USE IT FOR A WEEK OR 2 BY ITSELF AND IT SOUNDED GREAT PUSHING SDA-C's! IMO YOU WILL LOVE IT?
