So you've decided that you're going to add speakers to your TV and expand your audio experience into the realms of digital home theater. Now you have to decide...what kind of speakers will I add to my TV? Big, or small. Two, or five-plus-a-subwoofer. Wireless, or single-speaker all-in-one. On the wall, on stands, on the TV shelf. Let's clear out the decision-clutter and talk about small speakers, something about which Polk Audio knows a thing or two (or five-point-one).

Compact speakers and compact speaker systems are a great choice when you want to fill a mid-sized or smaller room with big direct-firing sound, but you don't want to fill the room up with traditionally large speakers. And because they're small and perform equally well in most locations, they also offer the most placement flexibility. Compact speakers look great next to today's sweetest flat panel televisions.

They do if they are engineered like real speakers. Polk Audio was one of the originators of "compact speaker" technology. We introduced the first Compact RM System in the early 90s. We designed and engineered the RM Series to duplicate our traditionally-sized speakers in every way, except size. Heavy-duty, acoustically inert enclosures kept internal resonances at bay, specially formulated driver materials and motor structures helped compensate for the inherent performance weaknesses of small-enclosures, as did the addition of patented bass porting and venting technology. The unheard-of low-end response, realistic details, and sheer volume capability of the RM Series changed the industry's perspective on compact speaker systems, and ultimately opened the door to the mass-marketing of "Home Theater in a Box" systems. (None of which featured audiophile-quality speakers, frankly.)

That's what we achieved with the original RM Series. Now we've raised the bar again by engineering the next generation of compact loudspeakers: Blackstone™ TL Series. TL Series presents compact speakers packed with big-speaker technology, and performance that's unmatchable for its size. Matched with a subwoofer, Blackstone TL is the very last word in compact loudspeakers today. Meanwhile, the awesome RM Series is still going strong, offering high quality compact speaker performance at a reasonable price in a world of "home theater in a box" knock-offs. Choose a style that fits your decor and your budget. Choose systems, systems with matched subwoofers, and even individual speakers. Build a compact speaker system that packs the performance of regular-sized speakers, only smaller! Only from Polk Audio, the compact speaker specialists for over 20 years.
