#17 Polk Audio PSW10: $209.00 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Pros: 10-inch Dynamic Balance polymer composite driver with 100W Peak Class D amp. Deep bass capabilities are impressive with exceptional definition/control per CNet. Reduces distortion (uncommon at this price). Good hard clean bass performs well at higher volumes. Easy setup and affordable price consistently highlighted by thousands of buyers. Polk Power Port channels airflow cleanly for tighter bass without port noise. Best for average/small rooms and apartments.
Cons: Budget-tier construction, ported room dependency, lower 110.3 dB output, and $250 entry-level positioning. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Klipsch Flexus Sub 100 - $71 more, 1.2dB less max output. Just below it: GoldenEar ForceField 3 - $441 more.
