Excellent sounding speakers for the money...leaps ahead of the Sony SS B-3000 speakers I first bought and tried...took them back after listening to the models side by side...Polks have significantly better overall sound, presense, stereo imaging, and bass. It's always interesting how size isn't the determining factor--the sony's are twice as big, but don't sound nearly as good. I'm running these with a subwoofer for an entertainment system, but even alone, they're great for a small bookshelf speaker. (If you're really on the cheap, the Sonys at only $100 aren't "terrible", but have very weak bass and not nearly the sound of the Polks...night and day).
Tip for reviewers...I wouldn't give low stars for screw ups by Amazon...rate the product itself (Polk speakers), then put a comment if you had trouble with Amazon.

I have been a music freak my whole life and have had all types of stereo and home theater systems over the years. I can tell you right now these speakers are incredible. I am currently using the TSi100's as my Fronts with a Sony AV Receiver, Mirage Subwoofer, Bose 161 Rears, and a Sony Blu-Ray Player. Concerts ranging from Fleetwood Mac to Amy Winehouse are stunning - these speakers are so crystal clear they will generate goose bumps. The imaging on these TSi100's has to be heard to be believed! The build quality on the TSi100's is OUTSTANDING. Nice work Mr. Polk.

Ok, I didn't buy the speakers through Amazon. However, the speakers are for my shelf system and they sound amazing! The build quality is great. The speakers are heavy, (which means a big magnet to help with the driver) They are a good looking set of speakers. I have these partnered with a nice sub and they give an amazing sound quality. The highs are crystal clear, the mids have a nice range and with a sub attached they rock! From Metallica to George Strait, they get the job done. The price is good for a quality pair of speakers. Are they the best? No, but for smaller size speakers do you really want to shell out 500 plus? They sound much better than Bose, which are over rated and seem incapable of producing any type of low range. Just my thoughts. Hope you enjoy! No disappointments or negatives.
On a side note, please rate the product not Amazon. If your experience with Amazon wasn't good, then take it up with Amazon. But rate the product accordingly. Again my thoughts.
UPDATE
Just wanted to add how much I have enjoyed my Polks. I have them matted to a Sharp sound system with a Sony Sub-woofer. The sound quality is awesome. Just a simple set up to play my ipod, without using my surround sound system. No issues or complaints with the speakers.
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE:
I have these as the left and right main channels on my surround sound. I have also purchased the polk center channel. The system does well. As a matter of fact they can handle as much as my Dennon can dish out. Not sure that I would recommend them as the main right and left channels, but for living in a rental they work VERY well. Even surprisingly so.
