Now this is a deal.

Warmer sound, will not sound like Klipsch, but super solid speakers. Hard to beat at this price

I use the S60s for the front and S50s as surrounds. (My room/construction would not support wall mounting) I also have the S35 as a center.

I have been very pleased with this setup. At regular price, other options would be better but with these kinds of sales, it is a good setup. One thing I like it how much better they look that most of the square boxes from other brands. They style also matches some of the SVS subs which is nice.

I pulled the trigger on the S55's though bestbuy, but ultimately canceled and went with the S60's from crutchfield. Would have been $357.42 for the S55's and was $471.09 for the S60's. While not initially mentioned in the deal, thanks for this post as it got me looking in the right direction at the right time.

Nice deal. Just got some T50s but I really wanted S55s and couldn't justify the huge price difference. Wish this deal was out last week.

Tell me about it. I got Monitor 60s for the same price the S55s are currently. I just don't feel like the hassle of returning them.

Snagged an open box s35 from Crutchfield for $135, $5 off for slow shipping. Had a gift card I wanted to burn and this seems like a good time. Was $141 shipped for the s35. Noticed NFM had the same price as well as Polk's website. All just depends on where you can personally get the best deal with cash back or lack of tax (bh doesn't charge me tax, for example) charged etc. PayPal 5% on chase etc etc

No sale on the s10? I have the s30 and s15. Looking for the s10 for the rear.

Picked up the S15s at $120 from BB, then they pricematched them at $114.50 for me during pickup.

I don't really need them, but figured at this price I'll try them out. For those on the fence, remember holiday sales rules are now in effect at BB... have until sometime in Jan to return them if you don't like them.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Klipsch. Specific sound signatures serve a purpose to the listener, the desired sound, and the room. Keep your "warm" lifeless speakers to yourself.

Yes I know, Kilpsch isn't the end all be all of speakers, but it's a good reference point so say these polks are not like them at all

Why not match the surrounds to the front with more S15's? I mean, they're cheaper right now than I've typically seen S10's go for anyway...

I've heard overall good things about Klipsch, though the main complaint I've heard is listening fatigue from the tweeters with higher-pitched sounds. I think overall from what I read when I was researching speakers to get (had an alert up for Polk Signature for quite a while now), the Klipsch line you often see for sale is broadly comparable to the Polk Signature series, and their pricing is pretty close too (I'm sure both companies have other lines that are much more expensive than these).

So I went with Polk since I'm generally sensitive to high pitches, and I think this line gets some tiny bonus points in the looks department.
