Check out 2 reviews of the TSi400 from http://floorstanding-review.blogspot.com/




Review # 1


I have a pair of these as the fronts on my system, connected to a Denon AVR. I had compared the TSi300's and TSi400's at a local big box store and there was no comparison to my mind. The 400's with the extra 5 1/4" driver just have a fuller richer sound than the 300's. While the TSi500 was tempting, I couldn't justify the price for the size of my living room. To be honest I can't see ever running the TSi400's at their top level without the police arriving at my house within 10 minutes.

They are tall, but not overly so and heavy weighing in at 32 pounds each. They are not however overly wide, taking up just 7 inches from side to side. For some perspective a dollar bill is 6 inches wide. So they take up a minimal amount of real estate from the front. I like the cherry veneer, sure it doesn't look exactly like the real cherry stair case they are sitting next to, however the black just looks like painted plywood.

I have these paired up with a CS10 as the center, which blends seamlessly with the pair and a PSW10 in the corner to supply that little bit of thump and rumble. I will probably upgrade the PSW10 at a later date but it works fine for the moment and it's only for nit picky reasons of styling and space that I'm really thinking of changing it at all. The one problem that I did have with these Polk speakers, is that my old Sony's have hidden their head in shame and left the room.

All in all a great purchase that I can recommend. They are expensive at full retail, but the 5 year warranty from Polk when purchased at an authorized dealer helps make up for that. The sound is definitely worth the price.


Review # 2

xterior Finish - Got the speakers and unpacked them to an amazing sight of cherry finish with the high gloss back top. My wife absolutely loved it. They are one of the bigger towers and will dwarf even a 40inch TV.

Sound - Listened to a lot of speakers..Paradigm studios, klipsch Icons, reference series, Polk Rtis, PSB image towers and Infinity towers....to me the paradigm studios were the best in sound but they were astronomical in terms of price. Finally it was between these and the PSBs, the klipsh Icons and the polks RTis sounded bright to me. Did a lot of listening with my own cd at Frys, my friends place, bestbuy and a whole list of places. The psbs seemed to have the best mid range but lacked the clarity at the highs these provided. The klipsch Icons were ruled out as even the TSI400s sounded better than those. Since i was looking for beefier mids I went with these and have not looked back since. Running them using an Emotiva amp. I have pushed them to a true 100 watts and they were wanting more. I could not go past this point as I dint want cops at my door...:) needless to say these performed like champs.

For HT these are beasts...provides an in theater experience once the lights go out. Pair them with a CS20 and you will have an extreme front sound stage.

Value - Must buy for the sheer value provided at this price range. An absolute yes to an audiophile who knows the law of diminshing returns or a practical person who wants most from his purchase.

The Center speaker is the most important speaker. Polk Audio can't make it so small. For the TSi, did you try the CS10, which is smaller then the CS20?

still too tall

i only had 5.5-inches max to fit in front of my TV
everything Polk had is over 7"
i almost went for the RM-8 centers, but they were too small, and complicated to acquire where i am

so i went for the Energy RC mini center instead.  it was 5-inches tall, perfect.

The retail price of the Polk Audio TSi300 is P19,990 a pair. But If you pay cash, most of the dealers will give you a discount.
