Polk Audio db650 Review

Compared to other 6.5-Inch speakers in this price range, the Polk Audio db650 had the most balance and organic sound. For whatever reason, these speakers always delivered or more “musical” tone. I listen to jazz, pop, R&B, classical, rock, etc, and these speakers seemed to have the best frequency response. Mids still are still not strong, but better than other 6.5s. The highs are clean and organic, not sharp and crisp like other speakers with metal tweeters. The bass is there, but since it’s a small 6.5 there isn’t a lot. You’ll need larger speakers to go along with these to make up for the bass.

The db650s sound very clear even when cranked up. At first, they were way too bright and shrill. However, now that they are broken in, they sound great. The pair has a pretty accurate response, I can’t detect much coloration on these, music sounds they way it should, no missing instruments. Really good sound at a reasonable price.
