S6
Bookshelf speakers -- a combination of performance and value.
Soundly based on dynamic balance.
Consisting of one floor-standing and three bookshelf models, the S series offers uncompromised performance with unmatched value. The way tweeters and drivers are matched, the way the crossovers are designed, the way the cabinet mechanics are "voiced" to the components, the way the custom-made screws hold it in place, serve to make the S series a great choice for any indoor home loudspeaker application.
The S6 design is based on the same active components as the S4, with the addition of a 6.5" bass radiator for increased bass performance. Writing for the Chicago Tribune, electronic columnist Rich Warren observed: "At normal listening levels the S6 becomes addictive."

Not even one!
Review:
good looking, classic bookshelf speakers. easy color coded push-in wire hook-ups. solid construction to minimize vibration and enrichen tones. purchased these speakers 15 years ago and they still sound as beautiful as the day I first turned my system on with them.

Very Smooth,Good full all sound for a bookshelf. awesome for music and movies. Great sound quality
Weaknesses:
Great for music but kinda sucks when you reach a limit of volume and the passive radiators start popping. other than that none at all.
Review:
I got these for free a few years back and didn't know much about them, but when I heard the sound quality of these speakers it made me a true Polk fan. Thanks Polk
