However, I bought them first for the sound quality. My experience in the past with Polk has always been excellent and these didn’t disappoint. Good clean sound and some nice lows gave me great sound for the rear channel. Being able to easily mount and connect them was an enjoyable added bonus. Not the cheapest, but worth the money.
I purchased a pair of these in mid 2010 to use as "zone B" speakers in our bedroom, and they have worked very well. In fact, they worked so well that I decided to buy a 2nd and 3rd pair to use in our office and bathroom. And if we move someday, these could easily be re-used as surround or rear speakers in a 5.1 or 7.1 home theatre system. Here's what I like about them...
STYLISH: the curved design is very modern and stylish. They are prominently displayed on the walls in our office and bedroom, but because they're attractive and white, they don't detract from the decor of the rooms. In fact in my opinion they add to it. This is unlike big black boxy speakers, which in my opinion, rarely look good when displayed in a room without being part of a home theatre system.
My only complaint, and the reason for the 4 stars, is that they didn't design a notch in the back of the speaker for the speaker wire to run when mounting the speaker flat against a wall. Due to this, the speaker won't truly mount perfectly flat against a wall because of the wire being between the wall and it. You could get around this issue if you have the speaker wires protruding from the wall at a point BELOW the back base of the speaker. Since the front of the speaker is about twice as high top to bottom as the back base, you wouldn't see the speaker wire protruding from the wall when viewing the speakers from the front. You would however notice it when viewing the speakers from the side. This is why I decided that a less-than-pefectly-flat wall mount was the better option. This is a nitpicky critique, but one that could have easily been solved with a little more forethought by Polk Audio.
FLEXIBLE: they put a lot of thought into the design of these speakers. they can be mounted flat to a wall, or in a 90-degree corner such as where two walls come together, or where the wall and the ceiling come together. There's also a stand on which you can place the speakers if you want to set them on a table or something.
EASY INSTALL: The speaker wire connection points are easier to use than many of the speakers I've used in the past. And the instructions and hardware for mounting the speakers to the wall is very straight forward.
SOUND: For the type, size, and cost, these speakers produce crisp, rich, and full sound, with decent bass. You shouldn't have illusions that these speakers can compete with a system that has built-in subwoofers; and I wouldn't use these as front speakers in a home theatre system. But for what I'm using them for, they're perfect.

Son unos altavoces muy recomendables, parecen pequeños pero cuando lo tienes delante te llevas la impresión de que son mas grandes que en la foto. Una muy buena calidad. Todo recomendable.
