Poles Apart!!
I thought i would put an unbiased view of this speaker system. I purchased a pair of HK Audio Polar 12's in March 2021. After lockdown i started gigging about the middle of August and up and till now "June 2022" i have been using these every week.
I know a lot of reviews on hear are all varied, but i have been using these every single week without any problems. The only thing that i would say is, when you are setting up with a mixer, you have to drive the master output to get the full potentional of volume needed in certain venues. If you use the factory settings, it would trigger the limiter quicker and therefore be quieter in output volume.
Personally, i've found a happy medium when setting the master level, i set it at either 5 or 6 on both speakers.
I highly recomend these speakers, just make sure you set the gain staging between speakers and external mixer.
5***** from me.

operates perfectly for our needs
as a 2-piece rock band, having many years of experience, we needed a new system to match our requirements.
we wanted a punchy PA for smallish venues (pubs, clubs, <200), quick and easy setup, lightweight if possible and with a small footprint.
The 2 HK Audio Polar 12's that we got have performed very well to these specs, and have proven to be very road-worthy (the included covers have also been very useful).
we are very pleased with our purchase, particularly as the price/performance is unbeatable :)
would recommend this to anyone with the same gig profile.

A beautiful look, good sound
My first system was Polar 10, one year later I decided to buy Polar 12. A little heavier subwoofers, but a tangible positive difference in low frequencies. Very nice, detailed and balanced sound. I compared it with JBL Prx One from which I expected more, but only the subwoofers were approaching as power and decibels, in the midst and high HΠ was a much better system. I definitely recommend it for small events, weddings up to 50-60 people, acoustic instruments or even just the sound of conferences. The system arrives with covers, which is a good bonus. I can recommend HK to use a lighter material such as plywood instead of MDF for subwoofers to reduce weight.

HK Audio Polar 12
Very clear sound and easy to transport. Added bonus of having covers included. Liked it so much that I've ordered another one to cover Weddings or large venues.

Wow oh wow unbelievable
Wow what can I say I've brought 2 of these speakers and they are unbelievable.
Amazing sound amazing covers and way better than I thought they would be.
I was thinking on buying these for while and had a short list of 3 types of speakers and these are amazing.
Used them for the first time this week.
People at my to venues said how good they looked and how the sound was amazing.
The sound is crisp at the top end and middle and the bass is just amazing.
A must buy in my opinion.
Also what amazing service from Thomann supernatural delver and would highly recommend.

Top sound and value for money
If you take built quality and sound as I said value for money.
Very practical for small gigs and smaller venues.
