I own Polk RTA 12's and am very happy with them.  They do make some relatively
low end speakers but I have no idea how good they are.  I would suggest,
however, that you check out Boston Acoustics as some of their low end
speakers are quite good.  I have a pair of A40's for my TV which I put
on my stereo when I first got them and they sounded quite good they don't
have much in the low end but everything else is very good, and the price
is right ~$160.  I did find they got a little distressed on quite loud
strong bass (they don't qualify for disco speakers).
