Polk Audio has a new flagship speaker range, the Legend Series. Promising the company's best ever performance, the line-up also includes Polk's first stereo dimensional array (SDA) design in 25 years and height modules for next-gen 3D audio formats.

Aimed at stereo and home cinema systems, the Polk Audio Legend speakers claim "unrivaled imaging, detail and bass response". The Legend Series includes two tower speakers, two bookshelf speakers, a centre channel and those height modules.

The top-of-the-range L800 floorstanding speakers build on Polk's original SDA mission of maintaining full stereo separation all the way from the source to your ears, isolating the stereo channels using a 15-degree baffle. It has twin 1-inch tweeters, dual Turbine Cone midrange drivers and dual 10-inch woofers. The Polk Audio Legend L800 speakers cost $2999 each.

The L600 meanwhile uses the high resolution 1-inch Pinnacle tweeter, a 5.25-inch Turbine Cone midrange driver and dual 7-inch woofers. It's $1999 for one speaker.

Polk's L200 and L100 bookshelf speakers give you the choice of a 6.5 inch or 5.25 inch mid/bass driver alongside the new tweeter, costing $1799 and $1199 each respectively. The L400 centre channel speaker features the Pinnacle tweeter, a 4 inch Turbine Cone midrange driver and dual 6.5 inch woofers with that Enhanced Power Port. The price? $1799.
