Not Good - Don't be a Polk Audio Fanboy - do the research
Ric from Fultondale on 11/29/2020
Purchased to use in 2 channel setup with turntable. Paired with STRDH190. Compared these speakers side by side with some on sale Sony speakers (SSCS5); gave 'em a few days to break in. The sony's won. The Polk's are clear and detailed, but have no bass. What little bass that does exist is a little muddy. I wasn't expecting big stuff from a 5" woofer, but this is pretty bad for what is advertised. This may be fine if you're adding a subwoofer, but the Sony's won hands down. They had a bigger soundstage and were louder. While not as clear as the Polk's, they lose in that dept by a hair. I had high hopes for these speakers, I can't understand all of the 5 star reviews; and yes I changed multiple placements of the speakers (close to wall, off the wall, on speaker stands, etc). If you're on a budget and want a simple setup for a turntable also look at the Kantu SYD with it's built in phono input. I'm still on the fence as to whether I'll keep the Sony receiver and speakers or go with the all in one Kantu SYD. Don't be a Polk fanboy - do the comparisons side by side with other speakers and you'll see what I mean.

Best of everything at Crutchfield
Crutchfield customer from Robinson, TX on 11/25/2020
Top quality, great buy, and outstanding service from the customer associates (Jill & Felicia). Price of these fantastic speakers dropped soon after I purchased them at an already great price. All I had to do was make a quick phone call to Crutchfield and Kimberly was helpful, very nice, and promptly refunded me for the price drop just as they guarantee in their 60-day promise. Crutchfield is the best!

Impressive all around
Crutchfield customer from San Juan, PR on 11/10/2020
I've been a Polk fan for quite some time and the S15's brought back memories of that unique sound signature. Got this for my office and paired them with a Sonos Amp and the soundstage is impressive. Transparent sound and that classic mid-range Polk is known for. Presentation of vocals and acoustic instruments sound holographic and crunchy distortion on hard rock tracks are on your face. Bass is impressive for their size but if you're a bass junkie you might want to pair them with a sub. All in all for the price these are unbeatable, I got them for half the price so these might be the best deal I've ever gotten for a pair of speakers. Also they are super elegant with the curved edges and the magnetic grills make them look and feel way more expensive than they actually are.
Pros: Sound quality Price Design Size
Cons: None I can think

Amazing value
Crutchfield customer from Chantilly , VA on 11/8/2020
These are outstanding speakers for the price - particularly on sale. To be cliched, they punch above their weight class in sound, build quality, and looks. They could be more efficient, but they aren't out of bounds for the class either. There are certainly some things to quibble about from the sound standpoint (again, consider the price point), but these work really well as all-around speakers for home theater and music (I have them paired with an S30 center and HSU ST2F subwoofer).
Pros: Build quality, looks, sound
Cons: vinyl woodgrain not convincing

Rodney from Burnsville, NC on 10/23/2020
I picked these up to replace some energy surrounds and I am very pleased. These are a bit overkill for surrounds but I absolutely love them! They are built like a rock too so you'll need some good stands.

I've never owned a pair of Polk speakers and planned to purchase a pair of Klipsch R-51m but they were out of stock and the polks were on sale so I took a chance. I find them interesting. They don't really stand out in anyway but everything they do they do well. For the money I think they're a pretty good deal and I don't regret the purchase.

Quality surrounds at affordable price
Crutchfield customer from Demorest, GA on 9/21/2020
Added these as rear surround with S60's up front and TSX 250c center powered by a Marantz SR-5014 and SVS SB2000 Pro. After a couple of Audyssey EQ runs system sounds great! Really impressed with the S15 range and clarity with the low freq cutoff at 80hz.
Pros: Dynamic range, ease of mounting

Fine Medium Size Speaker
Crutchfield customer from North Augusta, SC on 6/3/2020
Very good acoustics and comes with a keyhole for mounting. On the bulky side for wall mounting.
Pros: Excellent acoustics
Cons: On bulky size, deep for wall mounting, and round edges make it tough to find wall mounts to hold for articulating.

Great starter speaker
Crutchfield customer from Danbury, CT on 5/17/2020
These are great starter speakers for someone looking to get started with a home theater or music setup. There are much more expensive speakers on the market, but for the price they are unbeatable. These speakers are paired with a s30 center channel, and a hts10 sub. I couldn't be happier.
Pros: Solid box Nice tweeter Nice woofer Nice build quality
Cons: Cheap crossover parts

Great speakers for a smaller space
Crutchfield customer from CALDWELL, NJ on 5/16/2020
I bought these speakers as an upgrade to what I had connected to my Onkyo TX-NR646. I wanted clearer sound and decent base packaged up in a speaker that was appropriate in size for the apartment I live in. I tried Polk's RTiA3's but while they looked and sounded great, were too big for my setup. The S15s fit my space better, look great, and deliver more bass than I was anticipating; surprisingly close to the RTiA3s.
Pros: Compact size, looks, clarity, low frequency response
Cons:

Perfect size, spec, & price ... using for my height channels
Edward from KING GEORGE, VA on 5/13/2020
Purchased these S15 speakers to complete the atmos set-up ... mission complete. Pairing them with the S60 floor standing speakers, S35 centers, and S20s for the rear channels. Awesome home system, will update after I've used them a few more months. For the price, these Polks rock ... from a cost benefit standpoint, Polk's Signature Series are hard to beat ... 26Hz - 40KHz, amazing.

Great sounding speakers with S35 Center!
Crutchfield customer from Estes Park, CO on 4/14/2020
Great sounding bookshelf speakers! An excellent sonic balance when paired with a Polk Audio Signature S35 center speaker. (Using Polk Audio TL2 compact satellites and an old NHT SA-1 amplifier/SA-2 sub to round out my 3.2.1 system) The front three have my AV receiver sounding so much better than other speaker combinations I've had.
Pros: Great sonic balance when paired with Polk Audio C35 Center speaker
Cons: None.

Pros: Great sound in upper and mid range, good+ sound on the bass end, great overall response.
Cons: Lack a bit in the deep low range, but I didn't really expect that of them. Add a subwoofer and you're all set

5 Stars because of price vs. quality
Anders from ARLINGTON, VA on 2/27/2020
These bookshelf speakers are quite good and for the price they are almost unmatched. In my setup they serve as rear surround speakers in a 5.1.4 setup matched with a pair of S55 fronts, S35 center and RT-70 heights . They have an amazing full spectrum of frequency response and can match some of he high-end speakers of a similar size and can pump quite a decent low range of bass, believe they are spec'ed to around 53 hz, I have however cut mine off at 80 (THX specs) which serves my setup very well. The tweeter is the bright spot of this particular set of speakers with its 40 kHz range it can take anything you throw at it on the high end. It does however have a fairly narrow spread so to get decent coverage as surround channels you will need some distance from your listening position to the speakers in order to get the full immersion experience. If you are limited to where you can place your backs/sides in terms of location to the listening spot these might not serve you as well as other options. In my old place (where they initially were installed for a few weeks before we move the new house) they are very close to the listening position and they are drowned out a bit by the fronts. My old B&W had a wider spread and was better of keeping up with the front for effects, but the S15's are clearer and more powerful when positioned properly and given the right material to play.
Pros: Price vs. quality is amazing Full spectrum for bookshelf speakers Size, they are really not that big for how they play
Cons: Slightly narrow tweeter spread No bi-amp option

Great, small speakers
Crutchfield customer from Lodi, CA on 8/14/2019
These speakers rock. They look amazing too. I'm still debating on wether or not to leave the grills on. I use them as my front mains for my 5.1 surround sound system. They're a great improvment over my old KLH bookshelf speakers. I also recently upgraded my A/V receiver to an Onkyo TX-NR676. I can run these alone, in stereo mode and can hear how much punch they can produce out of a small speaker. Now I give them 4 stars only because I'm not sure about how or who was to blame for how they arrived. The box was really beaten up. If they were shipped this way. Or got this way during shipping. Just glad they weren't damaged.
Pros: Sound amazing for their size. They look like high end furniture.
Cons: Very heavy. May not work for everyone for wall mounting.

Crutchfield customer from Glenmont, NY on 8/11/2019
Solid speaker set. Larger cabinet that one might expect--so, do check the specs.
Pros: Solid build, representative lows and highs for this size of speaker. Mids are sufficient to my ears. Sound stage is find. My speakers are approximately 7 feet apart.
Cons: None that come to mind and certainly not at this price point .

Pretty good
Jimbob from New Haven, CT on 7/14/2019
I used these entirely for music listening. These speakers are a good intro to home audio. The sound is decent. The enclosures are very well made. The drivers and cabinets are gorgeous. They don't feel overbearing on a desktop set up but are powerful enough to fill a 15 by 15 by 10 foot room. The midrange frequencies are where these really shine, especially cellos. If you are considering getting the Polk S20, I would highly recommend that you get these S15s instead. The S15 feels better balanced and is a much more reasonable size.High frequencies can be harsh, like clicks and cymbals from a drum kit. It is hard to listen to these speakers at high volumes because the high frequency harshness overpowers the rest of the sound. Still, they can sound very good and are very fun. My first few days with them I had a hard time leaving to go to work, I kept saying 'just one more song.'
Pros: Midrange frequencies Vocals Cabinet construction Looks
Cons: Somewhat unbalanced High end is sharp and harsh

Jon from Janesville, WI on 3/20/2019
I recently purchased this pair of Polk S15's as replacement side surround speakers to go with the all ready Klipsch R-25C and pair of R-15m's. The Polk S15 and the Klipsch R-15m's have about the same quality sound to my rears. I have a Denon Receiver AV-S910W and a Yamaha Subwoofer. My 5.1 surround is now complete for my 12 X 10 room with 60" 4K UHD HDR TV. Movies never sounded better and internet radio music is GREAT through these speakers with proper AV adjustment for movie or music.

Polk Audio Signature S15
Guest from Indianapolis, IN on 6/25/2018
I purchased an Onkyo HTIB system a few years ago. I recently purchased the Polk S30 to replace my center channel speaker. That review is on Crutchfield's site already. Once I installed that center I immediately noticed my Fronts were lacking. If I had the space/money I would get the S60's, but that is beside the point. So I decided to replace the speakers that came with my HTIB with these S15's. So like the S30, I immediately noticed a massive quality improvement over my existing speakers. I love the look of the veneer on the Polk Signature series. They are a very "handsome" speaker and you can feel and see the quality from the moment you unbox them. I got them hooked up and mounted and had to spend a bit of time getting them calibrated and what not. It was an interesting feeling when I started demoing some material. I was expecting a very dramatic change and to be blown away. Well it was dramatic and I was blown away, but in a very calm way. I immediately felt like my room was just more "full" with sound. Before I felt that the room felt odd/empty except when I was directly in front of my center channel. Now I feel there is one massive speaker the width of my entire wall projecting sound at me. I will definitely continue upgrading my system to more Polk Signature Speakers in the future.

In my cave setup I've had lots of equipment from many brands, Klipsch, VMPS, Vandersteen, KEF, Paradigm Studio, Tekton Design towers, these little Polks sound good to my ears. The price I paid was well worth it.
Pros: Sound quality
Cons: The sticker on the cabinet difficult to remove and unnecessary. Polk logo on the grill too large
