You’d be hard-pressed to find better-sounding bookshelf speakers than the Polk Legend L100. They have plenty of bass, don’t overwhelm in the mid-range, and let you discern things musical that most speakers don’t, even when you’re not listening dead center.

The Polk Audio Legend L800 loudspeakers are a tremendous example of a speaker company making a product that exceeds one’s expectations.

Polk Audio’s return to audiophile form in the Legend L100 is a joy to behold

SDA-Pro, the latest refinement of Polk Audio's proprietary tech, elevates the performance of its impressive flagship speaker.

On the Polk speakers, the mids seemed to have a little dip in the presence region, causing the perspective to be a bit more laid-back than I usually like. Vocals came across a tad bit monotone on L100, compared to the Kef.

Get the power right with these and give them a week or so to really open up

If you’re looking for bass without a sub, the L600s would likely be more than adequate, but they aren’t just for bass-heads.

The Polk Audio Legend L100 is fun, lively, and dynamic, especially with sufficient power, and especially with tubes.

They are perfect companions to a two-channel receiver in an office or den, when excellent music reproduction is appreciated and fill in nicely as surround sound channels in multi-channel home theater systems.

These are very enjoyable speakers to listen to, even with their imperfections, and I wanted to listen to them more than other speakers.
