Polk Audio Legend L600 Tower Speakers Preview

See the full review for the Polk Audio Legend L600 Tower Speakers

The L600 tower speakers are second from the top of Polk Audio’s Legend series premium floor-standing tower speakers. They weigh 78 pounds each and are 4 feet tall. They feature a 1” Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter, a 5.25” Turbine Cone midrange driver, and two 7” mid/woofer drivers. They present a 4-ohm load, are 86 dB sensitive, and can play from 28Hz to 50,000kHz. Polk Audio recommends you feed them 100w. And they retail for $1,999 each.

But it’s the driver enclosure that’s interesting: Polk Audio has designed an Enhanced Power Port which they claim will produce more bass than traditionally ported loudspeakers. It’s a downward-firing port at the bottom of the speaker. My listening room is rather small with irregularly shaped entrances, and it has a bit of a bass suckout. How well will the L600 speakers energize my room, and will the bass be muddy or magnificent?

What I’ve heard of them so far is quite impressive. I immediately heard dimensions of familiar music I’ve never heard in my listening room. So I will be powering the Polk Audio L600 speakers with different amplifiers and determining just how easy or difficult they are to dial into an unusual room. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. So check in soon for a full review of these speakers.
