Polk Audio Blackstone TL1
$80.00
Released August, 2010
The Pros:Compact form factor can be fit into smaller spaces. Superior timing works with home theater equipment to create better imaging. Able to connect it any way you want, accepts multiple connector types.
The Cons:Lacks the brightness and liveliness that audiophiles will want when listening to music. Slightly underpowered, not well suited for a simple 2.0 system unless positioned right next to the listener.
The Blackstone TL1 is the satellite speaker featured in Polk Audio's TL150 and TL1600 home-theater systems. It can be bought individually to build a 2.0 or 2.1 system, or to be added to a full surround sound system to create a 6.1- or 7.1-channel setup.

Available in glossy black or white, the TL1 is notable for its compact form factor. A combination of acoustic mechanisms, collectively branded Time Lens technology, aims to create superior imaging and frequency balance. Each speaker utilizes a 1/2" silk-dome tweeter and a 2-1/2" long-throw driver manufactured with Dynamic Balance technology, which smoothes frequency response and increases detail.
