You can turn up your polka music nice and loud on products from Polk Audio. The company makes loudspeaker systems for home audio and video entertainment systems, multimedia, and aftermarket auto use. It manufactures about a dozen lines of Polk Audio-brand speaker systems, ranging from more than $20,000 for a SRT Series home theater system to bookshelf speakers for $100 each. Polk markets its products through audio specialty retailers and mass retailers in the US and through distributors in more than 50 foreign countries.
