| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | The name "Monitor" is special to Polk Audio. The original Polk Audio Monitor Series, produced in the mid-1970s, ushered in the modern loudspeaker era by setting the standard for performance and value. The original Monitor Series is the line that made Polk Audio famous with its simple, sturdy construction, clear, accurate sound, powerful bass and superior imaging all at a price that made great sound available to everyone. The newly reborn Monitor Series is classic Polk: a quality-built, affordable line of high performance loudspeakers for music and home theater. They are highly efficient, so they can be driven easily by unpretentious receivers, and they are voice matched for lifelike surround sound environments. The Monitor Series boasts a stylish look that complements today's flat screen technology, with wood grain finishes and modern Titanium faces. Built for speed, sound and value, the Monitor Series is a great introduction to high performance sound. | |

| Polk 60 Fronts are awesome | |
| | I bought one brand new & one from amazon warehouse for about $60 less than the new one. There was a minor 1/2" crack in the screen right at the top and a small dent on the left front corner around tweeter level, but both are barely noticeable. It possible could have been the shippers (CEVA/Eagle) that screwed it up...but I guess you get what you pay for.
All said, they both sound incredibly great for the price. My room is approx. 16x20x7 and these are plenty as fronts for that room size. As you can see from the pictures I added, I also have a Polk CS1 center and a Polk PSW111 sub. I am in the process of getting 4 Polk Monitor 30's to use as surrounds to get the full 7.1 in my room. That room is going to be the place to be. I will be sad everytime I have to leave it.

| | I absolutely love it. I paired this with with Polk audio: CS2 center, 60 towers, RC85i wall souround, and RC80i in ceiling for back surround. With a large living room and cathedral ceilings, and an ONKYO SR805 to push them, these speakers provide an excellent home theater/music experience.
CONS: Make sure you get a subwoofer seperately (not really a con, more of a requirement)

| | I am very impressed with the sound and look of these speakers. They fit perfectly in the corner of the room and match well any black LCD TV.

| Good speaker for the price | |
| | I bought two speakers for Onkyo-TX 805 A/V system.
First, it's kinda wide and big. The sound is very crisp and clear.
But without a subwoofer, Bass sound is a little bit weak.
I don't know when can I find a true speaker that doesn't need a subwoofer.
If I turn off the subwoofer, I can feel the lackness of Bass sound.
But above all, I like the design and the quality of the speaker.

| Very Good at Very Good Price | |
| | Purchased sony SSF-6000 speakers because I like value and they had good ratings and were inexpensive. I was not satisfied and returned them for the upgrade to Polk. These Polks sound much better and I am satisfied with the very good sound and now feel that I have the "value" speaker I was looking for. If you truly want that "amazing quality" sound, however, you will have to spend much, much more, but I am not that picky and very happy with the Polks. I'm giving them 5 stars to show they are better than the Sony's which have over a 4 star rating.
