Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Polk Audio Monitor 60 AM6025-A 2-Way Floorstanding Speaker (Single, Black)Customer Review: Very nice sounding speakers at a great price! Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I had been looking at various floorstanding speakers from all sorts of manufacturers and various websites......not to mention reading numerous reviews on speakers. Finally, after timing it perfect, I was able to get a pair of these Polk Monitor 60 speakers for $107.99 each w/FREE shipping at a different website (they have the word EGG in their name). So, for $215.98 I have a PAIR of these Polk Monitor 60 speakers set up in my Livingroom.....er....Home Theater Room. :)
Ok, first impressions:
These speakers are VERY nice looking, well built, solid, nice weight to them, look MUCH better w/o speaker grills IMO. It took all of 15 minutes to hook these up (I did the BI-Wire technique) to my HT receiver. The sound is very warm, crisp and sounds MUCH better than my bookshelf speakers I was currently using. The speakers are still only 3 days old, so I still need to let them "break-in" for about 30 days to see the full benefit of sound quality.
Pros: PRICE, Polk name & quality, nice size floorstanding speaker (not too big, but large enough to look high-end) sound quality so far is nice, but I expect it to get better over time as well, look great (especially w/o grill covers), they DO sound great (just don't expect these to have much bass or "boom" to them).
Cons: Very little-to NO bass (I knew this going in, but I haven't had a real good chance to "jam" these yet.....but I did briefly turn them up & bass is virtually null), maybe should have spent the extra $$$ for the Polk Monitor 70 series (those run $199.99 EACH, so they better sound better!), they are deep dimension-wise (stick out from wall a good 14").
**I have some extra $$ left over now, since I got these SO CHEAP, I can get a 12" powered SUB to fix the bass-lacking issue. :)
All, in all, I am happy with these Polk Monitor 60 speakers...especially for the price I got them for over a "secret" 4th of July sale. I have NEVER seen these speakers that cheap EVER before.....the next day, they were back to $149.99 EACH w/free shipping!
If you can catch the Polk Monitor 70 speakers on a deal (for $150-$175 each), maybe get those if you can afford the extra $$. But, for $107.99 each w/free ship..... I am a VERY happy customer with these Polk Monitor 60's.
