Can't beat them for some inexpensive surround speakers, or for a budget 5.1 setup. Just have to have someone else order a pair for you if you want more than 1 set since it's 1 per household.

You can't beat these for $40...

How are those compared to Boston Acoustic CR6's?.....

I would probably have to say the Bostons are better. The quality of craftsmanship is certainly better on the Bostons, and they are larger, I think.

Well I have a pair of Polk Audio S4's... they are larger than my cr6's but I prefer the Boston's... That is a damn steal at $40 I just want an excuse to buy them... They look pretty.

Huh, I was mistaken. I gathered from the pictures that they were larger, but I had no point of reference.

Did you check the Polk website? Measurements are listed there.

Note also that they have the newer R150s for $50.

Thanks, why are there people on ebay selling R15's for $100/pair if the Polk website is selling them for $50?

Because people are dumb....I can almost guarantee they are buying them at Fry's and turning around trying to make a profit on unsuspecting fleaBay users.

If you go into a Fry's store, they sell for $99/pr also, the deal is only on their website. I just sold a pair of R15s not 2 hrs ago too...

That isn't the Polk website by the way, that is the Fry's Electronics website.
