This Polk line is very well liked. Audioholics gave the Polk R700 a 5/5 rating and they lean into the engineering and measurements a fair amount. I would go this route over the Klipsch.
I like Andrew Robinson's reviews on YT, and he gives these a glowing review. I also just like to listen to Andrew talk. lol.

Sadly students do not qualify.
Promo Code: OCT5 applies for everyone.
I would also check Polk's website. It says its out of stock currently but if it does become available you can sign up for their newsletter and get an additional 10%. I didn't read the T&C of the coupon code so it might exclude this speaker.
Anyways the price above is the best I could currently find.
Their mid-upper echelon stuff like the LSiM line is competitive with the best of them in its price segment.

Bought these to replace smaller Wharfedale Diamond 10.7 towers in a 2.0 setup. They got great reviews from all the big audiophile Youtubers.
What I like about these:
- the clarity is really nice. I've had multiple instances where I thought I was listening to an alternate recording of a song because it sounded so different and new.
- the bass is so much better than my Wharfedales. It's not just more present, but it has texture in a way that I had not experienced before.
- they are really big speakers but pretty forgiving with placement. I have mine in a small room (11.5' x 11.5') for now and they do well close to the real wall. I'm sure they would shine more in a bigger room but I have little kids so...
All the audio guys say these speakers do their best with some power. I have about 200watts per channel going into them from a power amp and they do great.
Do they need a sub? Everything I've read online is about 50% yes and 50% no. I'd say it depends. If you want enhanced bass for older music that was not mixed to emphasize bass, then yes you need a sub. Alternatively, I just use an EQ when I want a little bass boost. You will not have a bass problem with any newer dance/R&B type music.
I have really enjoyed these speakers thus far. Very fun to listen to and a very flat response so nothing is too enhanced in any area. Certainly recommended at this price.
