FAQ
Q: What is the speaker impedance and frequency response of the Polk Audio T50 Home Theater Floor Standing Tower Speaker?
A: The speaker impedance of the Polk Audio T50 Home Theater Floor Standing Tower Speaker is 8 Ohms each, and its frequency response ranges from 60 - 24,000 Hz. However, without a decibel variation or a response curve, this information is meaningless. The useful low end is -3db at 65 Hz.
Q: Should I set this speaker to "Small" or to "Large" in my receiver?
A: It depends on your receiver. Many newer receivers allow you to tweak your crossover settings for each set of speakers. If your sub crossover is set at 150 Hz, you want your other speakers to pick up the frequency where the sub left off. If you set your speakers to small, you'll want to look in your receiver manual to see what the low frequency cut-off is so you know what to set your sub crossover at.
Q: Do you need a receiver to use these speakers or can they be hooked up directly to a TV?
A: While some TVs have speaker outputs, it's rare. Generally, you will need a receiver or at least an amplifier to use these speakers.
Q: Is the listed price for one speaker or a pair?
A: As of December 3rd, 2021, the listed price is for one single speaker and not a pair.
Q: How tall are the Polk Audio T50 Home Theater Floor Standing Tower Speakers?
A: The Polk Audio T50 Home Theater Floor Standing Tower Speakers measure 8.75 x 7.75 x 36.25 inches.
Q: Which speaker would be better between the Polk T50 and TSx 330?
A: The TSx 330t has more bass and sounds great but is also slightly more expensive than the T50s. The T50s sound great but have less bass since only the tweeter and top provide sound.
