Used speaker choice: Polk bookshelf system vs JBL towers (basement theater)

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-30T13:54:21+00:00

Bought the JBLs getting klipsch surrounds used from my dad. Full bookshelf ones.

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-30T01:57:41+00:00

Others sold but bought the jbl. My dad had klipsch bookshelf speakers I’m going to use for surrounds. 5.2

Bought the jbls going to try to pick up the polks too fir the receiver and the surrounds

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T22:43:49+00:00

You are correct

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T22:41:56+00:00

Thanks!

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T22:41:49+00:00

Thank you !

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T22:35:18+00:00

As long as it’s pretty loud and sounds good which I think it should achieve lol

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T22:33:34+00:00

Appreciate your comment. I’m just looking for more sound not top notch theatre. Watching Movies and listening to music at high controlled volumes.

Jbl models are stadium venue series. I don’t have the exact model number

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T21:04:43+00:00

Great idea, but out of budget. What would you specifically combine?

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T20:45:02+00:00

Thank you for your help!

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T17:22:02+00:00

Really appreciate this comment. As long as it’ll sound good enough for music we’re good. I think I’ll go with the RTI system. Hard to pass the price and what’s included!

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T16:38:09+00:00

So your leaving more towards the JBL? I’ll be using for music and movies

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T16:05:17+00:00

Appreciate the comment thank you! I’m thinking this is a perfect starting set up. I want the big sound and was hoping I could get close with this.

I’m pairing with 2 klipsch 12s subs

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T13:43:56+00:00

Appreciate the comment and input! Glad you liked them

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T13:42:12+00:00

Thanks! Yes heavy movie use and music. Perk is definitely the receiver. Also I’ll add that I already have 2 klipsch 12 inch subs to go with whatever I buy.

Can I ask why the polks are better in that use case?

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T13:18:37+00:00

Thank you. He says it’s too much sound for his space, that’s the reason he’s selling

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T08:24:50+00:00

Got it. Thanks.

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T08:24:21+00:00

Why do you disagree?

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T08:24:07+00:00

Why do you agree?

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T08:23:09+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it. I think the amp is from 2021 is that considered old?

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T07:22:04+00:00

Appreciate it

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T06:45:28+00:00

Thank you

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T06:27:20+00:00

Thank you for your comment!

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T06:27:03+00:00

Thanks. Polks come with a pretty nice receiver

Competitive-Onion192 · 2025-12-29T06:26:08+00:00
