The Perfect Vision, October/November 2006
"'Pleasantly surprised' doesn't come close to describing my reaction. 'Astounded' is more like it. The RM30/302 combines startling clarity and dazzling dynamics with a huge open radiation pattern. There's absolutely no sense of sound confined in boxes, as there often is with similar looking loudspeakers. The Polks present a dimensionality that immediately recalled a first encounter with a pair of Wilson WATTs and how I was bowled over by their ability to present a palpable acoustic image to a listener anywhere in the vicinity."
"Movie-and-music fans looking for an excellent affordable audio system would have to hunt long and hard to top the RM30/302/101 combination."
