Bought 2 of them and they sound great and looks great between my B&W towers and the rest of my home theater. I even found a 3rd one second hand and I have it in my audiophile room paired with some anthony gallo towers. Great buy for the money.

I read all these super audio guys reviews and I am just am average guy who likes to play my music everyonce and a while and enjoy some movies. I blew my old sub and that's why I went to buy this one. There were plenty of reviews saying it didn't make enough bass etc etc like of critical high rated reviews. Almost didn't buy it. But I already have upgraded the rest of my system to their matching big center channel and the 8" in ceiling speakers so I said screw it I'll try it. First of all when I opened my door I was shocked to say the least 🤣🤣 this sub is massive! Included is the picture of my old Def Tech sub next to this one. Put it next to a wall plug it in. Adjusted it. No problems with signal on with my Denon receiver -2020 model. Sound wise this thing sounds incredible paired with the other Polk speakers I have and definitely was designed to work with their speakers. Definable difference in overall sound of system with their sub. I'd buy I again but definitely didn't need to go to the 12 lol. Polk definitely was never in my list to buy but has impressed me. ... show more

After break in is when one should even start to judge the performance of any speaker. To many, this isn’t considered a high end sub and may very well be the case. I’ve no fancy recording and testing equipment but , but, with this down port design, it’s as if placement isn’t such an issue. Listening to music my impression was that this is what it’s purpose is for. But for movies it gives such a clean hard hitting punch without being “boomy”. For example when someone is firing a 50 caliber at high rate, it exemplifies realism. Thunder, helicopters, crashes, and such are very defined. The room rumbles without hearing a sound at times instilling something is about to happen, like in some scary movies. It’s powerful, clean, and lower than expected or need be. Only thing I wish is that it were in “piano finish”, but it’s a very classy and purposeful design. Overall, it’s a great price for a great piece of equipment. Polk knows it’s stuff. ... show more

    • For $350 it is a steal. For $500 you can do better
Updated after 2 years of use. I purchased the HTS-12 on sale in 2020 to replace an older Polk sub that failed after about 10 years. True story, no sub lives forever... so think about that before you buy. Probably the biggest reason I opted for this model sub was to match it to the rest of my Polk Signature speakers that are set up in my family room. First of all, the HTS-12 is pretty big (like almost end table big) so make sure that you have the room space to fit it in. If your room is a smaller size, then I'd recommend the HTS-10. This sub was initially set up using the room correction mic that came with my receiver, which is always a good starting point - but over time I have tweaked the settings manually and moved it around the room slightly. The receiver crossovers are set to 80 for the front towers and 100 for the center and rear channels - which sounds right for where they should roll-off. My grades without a curve: Overall Bass Reproduction = B+ LFE Bass for movies = A- LFE Bass for music = B to B+. This is a big ported sub and honestly, its design favors LFE for movies versus music. Clarity = A-. The sound is authoritative, controlled, and not muddy or boomy. Fit, finish design, and construction = A-. It is a handsome piece of equipment. Uses a Class D amp with a composite 4 coil woofer. The cabinet is braced and insulated to dampen resonance. But the finish is a vinyl veneer... which is kind of average for this price point, but just a little disappointing. I do appreciate that this sub has designated LFE input and bypass settings for easy receiver control. In summary: For the price (on sale for $350) this sub can't be beaten. Every sub is a match of size and power to move air and I think the HTS series hits the right balance between these two elements for the price. This HTS-12 sits in my family room which is about 20 x 15 feet with a vaulted ceiling. If the room were any smaller or without a vaulted ceiling I probably would have opted for the HTS-10. For the money, I think it delivers impressive, smooth, and effortless bass without becoming either muddy, boomy, or distorted - when properly set up. Acoustically, I do think that this sub favors home theater setup versus pure HiFi Stereo music which is probably true of all ported subs versus sealed subs. Nevertheless, the response is tight, accurate, and clear enough for me to easily recommend purchasing this sub. However, I do not think that I would have paid the MSRP price of $500 for the HTS-12. All things audio have a rapid and then flat curve of diminishing returns, meaning that once you break out of the low-end price range, every additional dollar spent won't get you the same level of bang for your buck. One of the reasons I purchased this exact sub was to match my other Polk Signature Series speakers in both appearance and sound. I suppose if I wasn't trying to match my other Signature Speakers, I would have easily chosen the Rogers Sound Labs Speedwoofer - which I have set up in my home theater room. The Speed Woofer is a bit smaller but it packs a better punch - especially considering that they are priced about the same. Moreover, I think that the speedwoofer strikes a better balance between music and movies than the Polk. The truth is that Polk makes reasonably priced mass-produced speakers and this sub is an example of that compromise between above-average acoustics, value, and performance. A good sub should blend into the soundstage and disappear acoustically, and the HTS does that very well. The value proposition changes substantially in my mind as the price paid goes up - to the point that I would not pay $500 for this sub since at that price point it begins to compete with more competent and significantly better alternatives for your money. In the end, this sub is worth every penny of the $350 bucks I paid for it, but I wouldn't pay the full price as I do sincerely believe that at the $500 price point you can find better equipment. But if you are looking for a handsome, solid, all-around sub that will deliver above-average low-frequency sound, I believe that the HTS12 hits the sweet spot of price and performance. All the best! ... show more
