Polk Audio Atrium 45 All-Weather Speakers (Pair, White)
   Pair of all weather speakers with mounting brackets
   4.5-inch long-throw polymer cone driver with butyl rubber suspension
   Built-in bracket allows multiple mounting options and full 90-degree rotation
   Handles up to 80 watts per channel
   Gold plated 5-way binding post speaker-level inputs


Polk Audio AM0748-A Review:   Tired of leaving the door open to hear your music on the deck? It's time for a pair of high-quality outdoor speakers like the Atrium 45 from Polk Audio. The speakers each feature all-stainless-steel and brass hardware for years of rustproof reliability and a rustproof aluminum bracket that permits multiple mounting options and full 90 degree rotation: you can aim them to deliver the best possible sound in a variety of positions.

The Atrium 45 speakers have a wide dispersion pattern, and they're very efficient, operating on as little as 10 watts per channel. They're designed to deliver good sound quality across a large listening area, but Polk recommends multiple-pair setups if you want high sound levels in an outdoor setting, as sound tends to dissipate more quickly outdoors than in.

The speakers' white finish is paintable to match your decor or trim color--you can even paint them green to blend with foliage. Their sculpted front baffle and rounded enclosures minimize diffraction (sound reflecting off of hard edges) for more open and lifelike imaging, and their rustproof aluminum grilles offer 55 percent open area for better high-frequency response than speakers with denser grilles.

Sealed-enclosure (acoustic suspension) cabinets result in taut bass, and the speakers' 2-way design incorporates a 4.5-inch long-throw polymer cone driver with butyl-rubber suspension and a .75-inch dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet to broadly distribute high frequencies. Gold-plated, 5-way binding post terminals will never corrode. The plugs also allow hookups in a range of methods, including convenient banana-plug-terminated speaker cable.

The Atrium 45 meets or exceeds ASTM D5894-UV Salt Fog, Mil standard 810 Immersion and Mil standard 883 Method 1009 8 for salt and corrosion tests.

Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Monitor Series Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black)
   A single 10-inch subwoofer with built-in high-current amplifier for big bass
   Equipped with one 10-inch polymer-composite dynamic-balance cone driver
   Features laser-based Klippel measurement technology for improved linearity and deep, precise sound
   Frequency Response: 35Hz - 200Hz
   Non-resonant all-MDF enclosure construction with 0.75-inch-thick baffles and internal bracing


Polk Audio AM1055-A Review:   Give your movies and music the rich, powerful audio they deserve with the Polk Audio PSW10 powered subwoofer. Hailing from Polk's reborn Monitor series--which ushered in the modern loudspeaker era in the mid-1970s--the sub combines quality construction with high-end performance, all for a price that won't break the bank. The PSW10 is equipped with a 10-inch polymer-composite cone driver that creates tight, musical bass, along with state-of-the-art laser-based Klippel measurement technology to perfectly center the voice coil within the magnetic field. The Klippel technology improves the linearity of the frequencies to ensure a deep, precise sound for everything from action-movie explosions to cello musical passages.

Adding to the quality is the non-resonant medium-density fiberboard (MDF) enclosure, the 0.75-inch baffles, and the internal bracing, all of which contribute to the sub's superior detail, accuracy, and musicality. Meanwhile, the PSW10's built-in high-current amplifier (50 watts RMS, 100 watts dynamic) supplies all the power you need for big bass, while the adjustable low-pass crossover, phase switch, and volume control make it easy to blend your sub's output with your front and rear speakers. The sub even includes automatic signal-sensing circuitry, meaning it knows when to turn itself on and off.

Though the PSW10 will work with any speakers, the sub specifically designed to complement the clean, stylish look and robust sounds of Polk's entire Monitor speaker line. The black oak finish is particularly compelling, with a style that fits seamlessly with most modern furnishings.

Connectivity stems from the line- and speaker-level inputs, along with the unfiltered LFE input. The combined options make it easy to connect the PSW10 with any receiver or amplifier. And movie fans will delight in the magnetic shielding, which protects nearby TVs and video monitors from video distortion. Measuring 14 by 14.38 by 16.12 inches (W x H x D) and backed by a five-year warranty on the speaker and a three-year warranty on the internal amp, the PSW10 makes a great introduction to powerful home theater sound.

Klipsch Quintet SL Home Theater System (Set of Five, Black)
   Five piece surround sound home theater system
   0.75" aluminum dome tweeters and horn-loaded technology delivers lifelike performances
   3.5" high-output woofers deliver room-filling bass
   Power handling: Quintet SL LCR: 50 watts (200 watts peak), Satellite: 50 watts (200 watts peak)
   Each speaker features easy keyhole wall mounting or place on a bookshelf using the pedestal feet


Klipsch 1007770 Review:   Comprised of three LCR (left, center, right) speakers and two satellites for surrounds, the Quintet SL incorporates over 60 years of class-leading research and development experience. In fact, it utilizes the same cutting-edge technology as Klipsch professional cinema products, which are chosen by leading cinema operators around the world.Each magnetically shielded LCR speaker employs dual 3.5-inch high-output woofers and a 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter mated to an exclusive Tractrix horn, a design that delivers genuine lifelike sound as well as produces more output using less energy. Each also offers easy keyhole wall mounting and includes a pedestal foot for free-standing use as a left/right main speaker or center channel.The two surround satellites are the same speakers featured in the Quintet Microsystem. Each utilizes a 3.5-inch long-throw woofer for remarkable detail and clarity and a 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter coupled to a MicroTractrix Horn for precise high frequencies. Additionally, these magnetically shielded satellites feature a swiveling pedestal foot for convenient wall mounting or bookshelf placement.In order to create the low-frequency power you can hear and feel, Klipsch recommend pairing the Quintet SL up with Klipsch Sub-12 subwoofer. The Sub-12 reaches deeper and hits harder thanks to a 12-inch, down-firing driver coupled to a highly efficient BASH amplifier.In addition to using premium components throughout, the Quintet SL has a modern, refined industrial design. While the LCRs and satellites feature a dark gray finish with medium gray accents, the Sub-12 is available in a black ash vinyl finish with titanium accents.

Harman Kardon HKTS 18 Review:   Harman Kardon's HKTS systems make it easy to choose the right speakers to use with your other home theater components.
