I need something for a family member thats super low budget. 5.1 system. I like the look (and price) of the Polk S15's. I was thinking of using 3 of them for LCR and in-ceilings for surround.

Photos make them look great. Has anyone seen the walnut in person? Does it look legit or does it look cheap? Have you listened to them? Online reviews are basically "much better than my HTIB speakers".

Can’t give you a personal review. However they are sub $200 speaker. So how good can they be. Wood version looks cheap. Black looks like a modern version of a Realistic minimus from 1980. I have dealt with Polk on and off from about that time period. When Polk was there. I have a pr of Polks now. I doubt you will go wrong with them. Plus they have the exclusive power port. Whoa!

For what it’s worth I’ve always been surprised by how good the small cheap Polk speakers sound for what they cost.
