Polk Audio Legend L100 - Bookshelf Speakers - Pair

L100 Legend Premium Bookshelf Speakers: Small Bookshelf Speaker with Big Sound

The Polk Audio L200 and L100 are must-listen dynamic monitor speakers. Polk's new Pinnacle tweeter, turbine cone and Enhanced Power Port bass technology provide unmatched clarity, high dynamic range and natural bass. The Polk Legend series speakers make it clear: you can hear the difference.

Its sound is so powerful that you will wonder where the rest of the speaker is. With its 1" (25.4 mm) tweeter and 5¼" (133 mm) woofer, your partner won't mind the size and you won't lose sound quality. Once you've heard the L100, you won't be able to go back to a conventional bookshelf speaker. New Polk technologies such as the Pinnacle high-definition tweeter, turbine cone and Enhanced Power Port technology guarantee an unparalleled listening experience. Polk Legend bookshelf monitor speakers provide deep, natural bass, exceptionally smooth and detailed mids, and an extremely clear sound image. The L100 is a small bookshelf monitor type speaker that competes with speakers twice as expensive.

Polk's goal since its founding has been to make excellent speakers that turn the listener's room into the stage for the recorded performance. To meet this challenge, Polk engineers and designers must be constantly innovating and polishing every detail. Nothing is left to chance and nothing is never added that is not necessary. The result is top quality speakers that stand out from the competition while costing half as much, which are the subject of numerous awards and patents and, above all, whose owners fully trust the brand. But don't take our word for it, listen to them and you'll believe it.

New Hi-Res: Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter 

More than 40 years of creating tweeter innovations, designs and prototypes have led to the creation of the new 1" (25.4 mm) Pinnacle Ring Radiator High Definition Tweeter. Developed by Polk Audio, this tweeter provides extremely clear and crisp highs, without unwanted coloration or distortion. The Pinnacle tweeter employs a precisely tuned waveguide that significantly improves the dispersion of high-frequency energy to provide a wide optimal listening area, while the carefully damped rear chamber helps eliminate any unwanted resonance. High-resolution certification, the Pinnacle tweeter is designed for today's two-channel music listening, as well as multi-channel 3D sound for music, movies, sports and video game soundtracks.

New 133mm turbine cone

Polk has developed the new turbine cone specifically for the Legend series to ensure natural reproduction of the mid frequencies, to which our ears are so sensitive. The turbine cone combines Polk's exclusive foam core and molded turbine geometry, which significantly improves stiffness and damping, without increasing mass. The result is a smooth, detailed midrange and natural bass. You hear every detail.

Best bass by design: Enhanced Power Port Technology

Conventional bass reflex ports make noise (chug) and mask the low frequencies you want to hear. Thanks to the new design with Enhanced Power Port® technology, airflow smoothly passes from the speaker to the listening area, allowing for stronger, clearer bass while minimizing vibration, distortion and port noise. Polk has optimized its famous Power Port technology specifically for the Legend series, fine-tuning the port's flared geometry. The difference is heard and felt; Polk's Enhanced Power Port® technology produces less port noise and stronger, clearer bass than traditional ported speakers.

Improve your home theater

It can be used for the front of any home theater or as side and rear surround. The L900 Legend height module is only compatible with column models.

Magnetic anti-diffraction grating

It comes with a grille to cover the front of the screen and another for the top to cover the optional height module when it is installed. It is computer modeled to achieve a precise fit and minimize acoustic interference. Acoustically inert magnetic grilles offer a clean aesthetic without altering the sound.

High resolution certification

Sound quality depends on the source. High-resolution certification ensures that the Polk Legend L100 delivers high-quality, clear, and detailed response. Female voices have a uniform, detailed sound without coloration. Additionally, the minimum 40 kHz capability allows you to seamlessly play the latest high-resolution audio files with enhanced audio extension.

Enclosures designed to improve performance

In Polk's opinion, speakers should be attractive, but they don't add anything to the playback. Polk Legend Series enclosures, brackets, and internal structures are carefully designed to minimize unwanted internal standing waves and eliminate unwanted resonances. The result is an enclosure that firmly holds the speakers and allows for faithful reproduction of recordings.

Natural wood enclosures

From the first handcrafted enclosures in 1972 to today's new series of reference speakers, Polk has been designing natural wood enclosures for over 45 years. Born from our legacy, the Legend series maintains this tradition with the classic design of a high-performance speaker. It is available in two natural wood veneer finishes: brown walnut and black ash.
