Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sounds excellent for it's size. I got a new tv and my old polk t30 (I think is the model) wouldn't fit underneath. I needed to figure something out and decided on this. It was a good bit more money, but it sounds like it too. I was afraid with it being smaller than my old one that it wouldn't sound as good, but I was wrong. None of my local stores had it in stock so I ordered it online and drove over an hour away to get this. (Not the first time I've done that with Best Buy) Surprisingly it's a lot heavier than my old one too which when it comes to speakers is a good indication of quality. It doesn't disappoint! Attached pic shows it under 75" tv. It does look small under there but still sounds great.

Great sound! I’m no audio expert but the sound coming out of this speaker is phenomenal. I use it as a center speaker… with my two Polk Audio tower speakers for our tv system. My wife loves it and she comes from a career in the movie industry.

This is a really nice center channel speaker. It really adds a lot of my tv setup. I’m getting much better sounding vocals than I did with my previous 2.1 setup. Highly recommended.

I bought this to replace an old center speaker that has 2 mids and a tweeter which I do not regret replacing. The dialog is not bad at all, depends on the movies that I’m watching. When watching atmos or dts x movies, the sound is great.

Great sound, compliments my in-wall Polk speakers seamlessly.

Excelent center channel, very clear, love the sound …

I’d give it 5 stars, but Best buy was a horrible experience. No so-called experts, just normal people trying to get by. So when i went to ask about the “Everything needed online, and all that was needed. I still had to come back to the store multiple times, and spend more money to get what was required! The bundled items online gave me mismatched brands which can cause delays, and not even the required front speakers were associated with the “everything needed”. At the store I specifically asked for an audio expert, so they can confirm I was purchasing everything i needed, he answered every thing I said with a yes! I got home did my install, and my new receiver said I was missing required Front speakers, so I had to go Back to the store, luckily black friday had bookshelf speakers, same brand great price! Center speaker is great during movies, and video games, music too! Makes you really feel like you set up your own mini theater. Happy with product, im glad i did my own research, also that im Done with soundbars and connectivity issues with subwoofers!!

Very well made center channel speaker. Handles power well and has a vey clean sound. Its powered by a Sony STR-DH590 (also bought at Best Buy). Have owned it for 3 years now and am very pleased with it. Only dowside is for me and this is only my personal downside. The speaker is a little tall for my setup. I have an LG 86UM8070PUA (Bought thru AAFES..Army Retired) and its height is a little low to place speaker in front of TV.(Blocks remote sensor). As per my TV stand setup...shelf underneath TV in enclosed on 3 sides open front. The Speaker is bass reflex so sound can sometimes be to boomy or muddy depending on movies i watch. Have turned down bass and raised mids and highs and placed crossover at about 110 hz. Any higher and I will have a gap in my music and TV sound from center and front floor speakers also polk audios. Overall i enjoy it very much hope this information helps.

Not really a true audiophile. But I wanted something decent, that wouldn't break the bank. Purchased a new tv a few months back. Had to crank the volume all the way up to even hear a whisper! I'm guessing due to the speaker placement, and them getting thinner and thinner. Did some research. And decided on Polk. Like I said. First true sound system. And Polk didn't disappoint one bit! As odd as it sounds. This center speaker. Paired with two towers and a powered woofer. Even makes commercials enjoyable. Everything is clear, crisp highs and thunderous lows. If your looking for a decent head turner. Look no further!

I purchased this because, a) I am getting older and b) and, for some reason, TV and movie sound mixers have decided that dialog all need to be all whispers, so the background soundtrack in the surround sound can drown out the vocals of the actors. Therefore, since most of the vocals come from the center channel, I need one that projects a better presence. And I think we have a hit. This ported center channel has more speakers to project more found at lower amplifier volumes. It can also do more of the heavy lifting, especially, against larger front and side channels. Dialog is presented with more depth, like that coming from modern sound bars, which typically do center great, but not as well on the surround. You will need to return your system setup, after the install, which is plug-and-play.

Matches my other Polk speakers. Amazing sound from a compact size.

Nice slim size. Looks good. Great sound! Highly recommend.

This center speaker changed my livingroom experience from night to day. I didn’t realize what difference a powerful center channel speaker would make. Previously I used a small Klipsh center speaker (fairly old) on my new Denon AVR-S660H. The old center speaker sounded like grainy garbage and I thought I messed up the setup on my AVR. I was wrong, it was my garbage old center speaker.

Crisp sound. Kind of bulky could be a little slimmer to fit under tv. Sounds good even behind the TV from the speakers being low inside the box.

Surprisingly good sound from a smaller speaker cone width than my past center channel speakers. Another excellent Polk product.

Looks great, fantastic sound quality, best price I found for a center channel speaker.

A little bigger than the one it is replacing. Sounds good and no rattles. Well made. First thing I listened to was a jazz piano. Sounded so good I thought a piano was in my family room. Needless to say it is crystal clear. Give it a clear signal and you won't be disappointed.

I purchased my center channel to finalize my system on my entertainment system is was my final piece and i absolutely love the performance and how it brightens my overall sound

One of my first speakers I got when I decided my HTIB wasn't cutting it. Sounds great, looks cool, fits under my TV. Only problem was it opened a worm hole of me upgrading other speakers too.

purchased three xt35 center channel speakers. right, center, and left channel sounds amazing.
