Polk Audio Monitor 60 3-way Floorstanding Speaker, Black Finish (Single)

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Polk Audio Monitor 60 3-way Floorstanding Speaker is a quality-built yet affordable, high-performance loudspeaker for music and home theater. The Polk Monitor 60 provides open, spacious and clear audio even when driven by modestly-powered amplifiers and receivers, and is voice matched for lifelike surround-sound environments. This monitor boasts a stylish look that complements today's flat screen technology, with a sleek black finish, beefy stabilizer feet that ensure stability on carpet or hard floors, and a slim tower design that has a footprint of less than one square foot.

The Polk Monitor 60 utilizes a one-inch silk and polymer-composite dynamic-balance dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet structure that delivers a clear and detailed high frequency response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments, as well as three 5.25-inch bi-laminate composite dynamic-balance drivers that are lightweight and stiff with good dampening for high efficiency, excellent bass and lower distortion. This unit's non-resonant all-MDF enclosure construction with 0.75-inch-thick baffles, and front-to-back and side-to-side internal bracing ensures cleaner and more lifelike sound quality. The Monitor 60 features crossovers that use Mylar bypass capacitors for more detailed high frequencies, five-way binding-post connectors for more secure hook-up options and bi-wiring and bi-amping flexibility, and magnetic shielding for safe placement on or near TVs and video monitors without causing video distortion. This unit includes a critically-tuned flared port that minimizes port noise for good low-frequency extension with minimal distortion, resulting in natural, full-bodied and rich-bass sound. Built for speed, sound and value, the Polk Monitor 60 is a great introduction to high-performance sound.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent for home theater or music use! Great for money.......2007-02-26

I got these for my home theater. I previously had the JVC 1000-Watt system TH-C5. Needed something with more clarity. Here's my setup: Front R&L - Polk Monitor 60s, Center - Polk Csi3, Rear - Polk RTi4, Sub - Hsu VTF-2MK2, Receiver Onkyo TX-604.

I did alot of research before finally ordering these speakers and heard alot of speakers at my local Fry's. First off, I really wanted floorstanding for my fronts, but wanted to spend under 700/pair. Alot of people complain about how there's no Bass with these speakers and they are right. These speakers need to be supplemented with a subwoofer (which is essential for any home theater system in my opinion). But the high/midrange of these speakers are amazing for the price. The speakers sounded better than the Monitor 50's especially at higher pitches, and they did sound crisper at duller volumes. But I did not notice a big difference between these and the monitor 70's. So, I'd recommend these M 60's over the 70's as the 70's dont justify the higher price tag.

And wow the clarity of this system is amazing. Movies, HD television (like 24, Prison break, and Lost), and my downloaded music videos all have a whole new feel to them. Its spectacular. I love POLK! I'm so glad I got rid of my JVC's. by the way, did I mention, that speakers look sexy! Everyone gives it a wow factor when they walk in and look at them, not to mention listen to them.

Excellent speaker for the price.......2006-11-29

I recently purchased a pair of these speakers and added a 10-inch subwoofer as well as two bookshelf monitor series speakers. WOW! For speakers that Polk Audio considers entry level these are an excellent choice for someone who wants to save money and get a well rounded speaker system that covers an array of music genre. From Classical music to Rap, these speakers will do the job.
