Polk Audio TL1600 6-piece Compact Home Theater System Overview

[HTKamikazee]

Most people with small rooms or those who living in apartments have space limitations to get a large home theater system and there are others who can't afford one. The good news is that Polk Audio has solved both issues with their TL1600 6-Piece Compact Home Theater System.

The TL1600 features with four TL1 speakers, a TL1 center speaker and a matched powered subwoofer. Each speaker has a non-resonant composite w/time-aligned geometry and aperiodic tuned port and feature one 2-1/2" dynamic balance composite midrange cone driver and one a 1/2" silk polymer dome tweeter.

The center channel's enclosure features the same technology as the main speakers and packs two of the same midrange driver and a larger, 1-inch silk polymer dome tweeter.

Finally, the subwoofer has a 8-inch long-throw dynamic balance polymer composite driver. Check out some if the following features and specifications and let me know what you think.

FEATURES:

• The silk dome tweeter delivers a classic, clear, detailed Polk performance, with pinpoint imaging and smooth highs that are never tiring.
• An aperiodic-tuned rear-firing bass port combines the extension of a ported enclosure with the smoother low-end of an acoustic suspension enclosure, controlling port air flow for the kind of big bass response, and perfect speaker-subwoofer blending, you'd never expect from a loudspeaker you can hold in the palm of your hand.
• A super-small long-throw mid-bass driver, tuned with our patented Dynamic Balance® technology, delivers astonishingly smooth, flat frequency response, superior transparency and detail, and the surprising ability to play really, really loud for such a small speaker.
• Time Lens® technology aligns the acoustic centers of the tweeter and mid-bass driver on the same spatial plane for superior imaging, while an acoustic lens incorporated in the grille smoothens the tweeter's frequency response.
• The unique curved enclosure design employs non-parallel surfaces to strengthen the acoustically inert enclosure and deliver less audible coloration from internal surface resonances.
• Because of its Extended Linear Motion motor structure, the moving parts of the drivers used in the Blackstone® TL Series can move farther, more smoothly, in a smaller space than any other speaker driver in an enclosure this size, achieving the kind of dynamic response (clarity, volume) you'd expect from much larger speakers.
• Polk's proprietary, patented Dynamic Balance technology allows our engineers to design out distortion-causing driver and system resonances, so you only hear the good sounds.
• Hi-Gloss "Blackstone" finish, a durable, deep automotive-strength finish that matches today's most stylish flat-panel TVs and furniture.
• Compact means go-anywhere for Blackstone TL: on shelves, on the wall, on stands. Built-in keyhole slots and threaded inserts (that fit virtually any brackets) give you multiple mounting options.
• Gold-plated, professional-style 5-way binding posts, for the most secure connection options.
• All models in the Blackstone TL Series are available in convenient, professionally matched 5-packs for instant home theater solutions in any room. There are two complete systems available that include a subwoofer; everything you need for an explosive, compact, easy-to-connect home theater system. Plus, you can use individually-available satellites to expand your systems to accommodate 6.1, 7.1 and beyond.
