AMR150
"...the best 4.1 home multimedia speaker set to date...this is the absolute best bang for the buck I've seen yet. If you're an avid gamer or an individual interested in designing that perfect new computer set for yourself, then don't leave out the AMR150's - you'll thank yourself, and me, later. If no headphone jack is something you can overlook, then by all other means this set is near perfect."

“[The AMR150s] look and perform just as a flagship product should...produce music with clear highs and very supportive mids. The muffled sound that plagues most 4.1 speakers is deliciously absent. The soundstage is solid and smooth straight across, and the subwoofer, when set properly, merges excellently with the rest of the audio...the subwoofer rates superbly and can produce some damned impressive bass...[I] found them to be near perfect for home movies...[With games the] higher frequency clarity, in particular, helped to create an increased sense of detail and crispness to many effects, such as bullet casings hitting the floor and even something as simple as the reloading of a gun clip. Games with ambient music (like Oni, and Giants: Citizen Kabuto) literally sang with energy… I rarely get to sit down to a pair of speakers that are as thoroughly impressive as the Polk AMR150… With the AMR150, Polk aimed to provide an all round winner that could satisfy the games lover and still grab the elusive music enthusiast market by the tail. All this while trying to appeal to the cash strapped student and the movie hobbyist as well. I think they succeeded, and now the Polk brand has made its way into the hallowed halls of multimedia speaker celebrity, and to my “A” list ;).”

"These speakers from Polk are exceptional value, they perform admirably in all uses and tests thrown at them, with only minor drawbacks. Digital and Analogue connections are a great feature, as well as good high-end sound range reproduction. These speakers would be most appealing to someone who is looking for a good value, yet still fairly high end speaker system - providing clear and well reproduced surround sound."

"So, are these speakers recommended? You bet...So to put it simply, if you want a great sounding 4.1 system and don't want to break the bank give the Polk AMR150's a long hard look, err, listen."

"The AMR150s retail for about $150(US), which is not bad considering what you are getting. Bottom line, if you are casual gamer and DVD enthusiast, but listen to music most of the time at your PC, definitely consider the Polk AMR150s."

"Well, it seems that Polk Audio has pulled it off again with another great set of speakers at a very reasonable price...If you, or someone that you know, is looking for a great set of mid-range speakers that won't take a huge chunk out of the bank account, I would urge you to have them checkout the new Polk Audio AMR 150 4.1 Surround Sound Speakers."
