and as I recall, we used them mainly in hometheater to fine effect. That being said, they seemed pretty capable with music, too. The trickiest part was getting the powered subs to fit in. Speaker level vs. Line level, and then the configuartion in the (HT) receiver all played a role.We ran them with a Sony TAE9000ES/TAN9000ES combo in an enclosed room measuring (roughly) 20'x22' w/8 or 9' ceiling. Carpeting, uneven damping, not the best room in the world for any system. And yet, as I said, they faired quite well. They would probably do better in an "open concept" living room, with better equipment, etc.
Depending on what kind of music you listen to and in what kind of room, I'd say they are a worthy competitor. Not earth-shattering in any particular way, but a well judged, real-world design that is probably underrated simply because it came from Polk.
(In music categories, pop, R&B, Rock, Country, some big scale classical, etc., are probably its strongest suit.)
That's my general take (from memory). Tell me what you think-
