    Buy them if you like them.You will probably love them for a while.You will get sick of them though .
    A better long term strategy is to buy something that sounds good on all sorts of music.The CVs are great for rock and electronic music but lacking in subtlety for more organic music.
    But if you are young why not!
    Many of us have owned things like this in our youth and enjoyed them.They are not keepers though.

    What everyone has been very nice about is not saying how bad CV's are. The truth is most if not all CV's are crappy speakers whose only claim to fame is the ability to play loud with little power. In any kind of comparison between them and your Polk's they will come out second best. However, if you like them better than the Polk's buy them. After all it is your ears that have to be pleased. Just don't invite any of us over for a listening session.
    PS: CV's are not in the respected category around here.
