Polk Signature Elite ES60
A lot of tower for the money: deep bass and a big, wide sound, with a top end the lab tests call hot and many owners call just right.

A lot of tower for the money: deep bass and a big, wide sound, with a top end the lab tests call hot and many owners call just right.

The smaller Monitor XT tower: real bass for a budget floorstander, strain when pushed, and no agreement on whether it's bright or neutral.

Polk's cheapest big-woofer bookshelf: generous bass and an easy recommendation on sale — but no one quite agrees on how it's voiced.

A small speaker that measures like a much bigger-ticket one — as long as you keep the volume sensible or add a sub.

The budget standmount that measures and plays far bigger than its price — as long as you can live with its size and a hint of brightness.
