Recommended Component 2024 - Stereophile
The Little Big Bookshelf Speaker
Sound so big, you’ll wonder ‘where is the rest of the speaker?’ There’s no going back to traditional bookshelf speakers after you hear the L100’s. These Polk Legend bookshelf speakers deliver deep effortless bass, amazingly smooth and detailed mid-range (the hallmark of the Legend Series) and ultra-clear and precise imaging.
"Recommended Component" Honors
Stereophile honored the L100 by awarding it the magazine's coveted Recommend Component status for 2024.
According to Stereophile,"KM found they 'imaged beautifully, were dynamic as the dickens, recreated a satisfactory soundstage, and provided very respectable bass weight and extension–indeed, exceptional for their size… The L100s often fooled me into believing they were replicating bass notes lower than those small mid/bass drivers should allow.' KM was also impressed by the Polk's midrange, describing it as "reliably distinct and rich-sounding.'"
1" Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter
40 plus years of tweeter innovation, design and prototyping has led to the development of the new 1” high definition Pinnacle ring radiator tweeter. Developed for the Legend Series, it delivers ultra-clear, crisp highs without unwanted coloration or distortions. The Pinnacle tweeter features a finely tuned waveguide that dramatically improves the dispersion of high frequency energy ensuring a broad “sweet spot” while the critically damped rear-chamber helps to defeat any unwanted resonances.
5.25" Turbine Cone Woofer
Polk developed the new Turbine cone specifically for the Legend series to ensure the natural reproduction of the midrange, the frequencies our ears are so sensitive to. The Turbine cone combines Polk’s proprietary foam core and the molded Turbine geometry which dramatically increases stiffness and damping, without adding mass, resulting in a smooth, detailed mid-range and effortless bass – hear every detail.
Better Bass By Design
Traditional bass ports make noise (chuff) and mask the low frequency bass notes you want to hear. The new enhanced Power Port® design smoothly transitions air flow from the speaker into your listening area for louder, cleaner bass while minimizing turbulence, distortion, and port noise.
Hi Resolution Certified
Your sound is only as good as your source. With High-Resolution certification, the Polk Legend L100 delivers clear and detailed high-end response. Female vocals are smooth and detailed without coloration. Plus, a minimum support of 40kHz perfectly reproduces the latest high resolution audio files with improved audio extension.

Engineered by Polk
For over 45 years, Polk Audio has been designing, engineering and voicing amazing sounding loudspeakers, sound bars and smart speakers. Polk’s engineers prototype, tests, and listens to every aspect of its loudspeakers in their Baltimore Maryland USA engineering facility. From innovation in tweeter design to the legendary Stereo Dimensional Array (SDA) speakers, Polk audio delivers great sound that’s accessible to all.
Why Polk Audio?
In 1972 a group of friends, talented engineers, and music lovers got together with the skillset, the ambition to make the best speakers they could afford, and the attitude to change the establishment. That day, a speaker company was born with a clear vision for quality and a powerful mission for value.
Each and every day since then, all Polk products are the result of tight-knit collaboration, teamwork, and our collective passion to make great sound available to as many people as humanly possible.
A mission like that requires more than engineering expertise. It requires inventive spirit, hard-earned experience, and intuition. It’s that intuition—the most magical human ingredient—that bestows Polk products their sonic personality and pride of place in your home. To this day, design, acoustics, engineering (and ingenious, intuitive human magic) all happen under one expansive roof under the guise of democratizing sound. Because Polk Audio means it when they say great sound shouldn’t be a privilege of the few.
