Subtle Superb Sublime |
I have had a chance to sample many different polk. From their groundbreaking M4-12 series in the 90's two there High end floor standing models. Even with such a wide expeirence I must admit I have been swepped away buy the richness sublty and grace of these speakers. The sound they produce is TRUE sound. Neutral honest pure sound. Calm yet bracing. Warm yet soft. Where these speakers truly sing is in there sound imaging. Orchestral reproduction is almost accurate enough to keep me away from the concerts! Bass is perfect.
It is a commen mistake for many to assume bass to be pounding and shaking. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. Musical Bass is heard! Not Felt. Speakers! They are meant for your ears. These speakers are meant for your ears!
They will not dissapoint! |

i intended to use these speakers for my rears but they are a bit large. if i hadn't also ordered monitor 50's i would have used these as fronts. but they do a good job as rears for my 5.1 system now. very powerful and a decent amount of bass as well. they also look very classy. |

I have the Polk Monitor 60s in the front and the 40s in the rear. With this arrangement I hear subtle sounds/notes in music/details I never heard before for the same music I have listened to for years. The speakers have great clarity and sound reproduction and do not sound muddy or have distortion. The bass might be a little low. However I increased the bass setting on the reciever and do not miss much. Maybe in a year or two I will add a subwoofer and the CS2 center speaker. Basically I gained more clarity and accuracy of sound. I might have tried the Monitor 70s for the front if I had to do it all over again and noticed the price I could ahve gotten them for from AMAZON. |

Great surrounds |
I bought these to be the surround speakers in my home theater system & definitely made a good choice. My speakers are all Polk Monitor series tied to an Onkyo HT-SR875 Receiver (also awesome). The thing that really stands out is how absolutely clear and pure the sound is from the Polk speakers. When watching movies - the soundtrack sizzles and the dialogue is crystal clear. While watching the Superbowl - I heard this funny popping noise coming from the opposite side of the room from me -and then realized I was hearing someone at the game, sitting by a microphone and applauding. Clear as a bell.
I don't think I would like these as well for a dedicated bookshelf stereo speaker - they reproduce mid to high range well, but don't have much bass response. Paired with larger front speakers, a center channel and a good subwoofer, they help create a really terrific home theater experience. |
