Designed to impress
Legend Series was designed from the ground up to deliver the best sounding Polk speakers ever created. From our flagship audio technologies to their beautiful, elegant cabinetry the Legend L600 deliver great sound without compromise.
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.
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.
5.25" turbine cone
Polk developed the Turbine cone specifically for the Legend series to ensure the natural reproduction of the mid-range, 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.
3d audio compatibility optional height module
For the ultimate listening experience, the L800 can be used for the front stage of any home theater or as side and rear surrounds. Elevate your sound of your home theater set up with our optional Legend L900 height module (sold separately). This works with today’s new home theater technologies including: Dolby Atmos, DTS, DTS:X, DTS:X Virtual, IMAX Enhanced and Auro-3D.

Polk Audio’s Legend L600 earns its hype with deep, authoritative bass and a wide, immersive soundstage that keeps movies and music feeling larger than life.

What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Delivers exceptionally deep, tight bass with enough authority that a subwoofer may not be necessary.
Creates a very large, immersive soundstage with strong imaging and convincing separation.
Stays composed at high volumes and delivers strong dynamics for both music and home theater.
Build quality is substantial, with heavy, well-braced cabinets and premium-feeling finishes.

Cons
Needs ample power to show its best, with 86dB sensitivity and a 4-ohm load making it less easy to drive.
Some listeners may want a more open, airy midrange, as one review found the mid and treble less lively before system tweaks.
Bass can overhang slightly on certain recordings, especially in smaller rooms or with less controlled setup.
The full-length grille was described as a bit flimsy when removed.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 93/100
Reviewers consistently praise the L600’s big, deep bass, with multiple comments about bass that is tight, punchy, and unusually authoritative for the size. The midrange is described as smooth and pleasant, though one reviewer felt it lacked some life and openness; treble is generally clean and sparkly, and the speakers throw a very large, immersive stage with strong control at higher volumes.
Bass
96/100
The bass gets repeated superlative praise: reviewers call it prodigious, butt-shaking, window-rattling, deep, tight, and capable of making a subwoofer seem unnecessary. One review notes some overhang on certain notes, but the overall message is that these towers deliver unusually powerful and satisfying low end.
Mid
89/100
The midrange is generally described as smooth, pleasant, and natural, with vocals and reverb coming through clearly and with good dimensionality. There is one more skeptical comment that the midrange and tweeter felt lacking in life and openness, so the presentation is not universally admired for richness or warmth.
Treble
90/100
Treble is described as crisp, clear, and sparkly, with enough edge to balance the strong bass without becoming fatiguing. Reviewers also mention good contrast and clean handling of brass, cymbals, and high notes, though it is not presented as especially airy or especially lush.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
The L600 is repeatedly credited with a huge, enveloping stage that extends well beyond the speakers, with strong center focus and convincing separation. One reviewer calls the imaging slightly stretched, but the more common impression is of a very expansive and immersive presentation.
Dynamics
95/100
Dynamics are a standout, with reports of the speakers staying controlled and focused at high volume and handling powerful playback without strain. Reviewers mention bombastic impact, strong transient attack, and excellent scale for both movies and music.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
90/100
Reviewers describe the cabinets as heavy, solid, well braced, and beautifully finished, with attractive wood veneer and a generally high-quality feel. The binding posts are called large, secure, and hefty, though one reviewer found the full-length grille a little flimsy when removing it.
Value for Money
89/100
The reviews lean favorable on value, especially for listeners who want a tall tower with serious bass and strong all-round performance without needing a subwoofer. At AU$6999 the L600 is not cheap, but reviewers still frame it as appealing for budget-conscious audiophiles and as a strong proposition versus the extra cost and complexity of adding subs.
