Polk Audio Monitor XT60 200-Watt Tower Speaker - Single - Midnight Black

I have been using the sony core speakers with a denon avr for a few months now and wanted to upgrade my front channels to something with a better soundstage (better bass/mid bass) while maintaining a good high fidelity sound signature as the sscs5 provided. The sscs3 are notoriously bad in comparison to their little brother and now after having these XT60s hooked up for a day I believe these are the budget floorstanding speakers to beat! If you can get them on sale (136 as i did or the 180 they've been showing up for as well) they will not dissapoint! Retail. Perhaps go for the jbl stage a180 or something else. Overall, these things are awesome! All i have is the sscs5 to compare to for left and right main channels and those are rated all over the internet as being very detailed for the money and the XT60 i cannot differentiate a different/lacking of detail/ sound from them so I beilieve they deserve a 5 star rating.

Not only do they look good, but they sound very good. I have to admit that I was used to listening to some very vintage Jensen floor model speakers but the Polk put them to shame.

They sound amazing and have become a great addition to to the rest of my surround system. I've invited friends over to check them out and have had nothing but outstanding reviews from all of them. They have excellent clarity which is a serious must for me. Im also running them with a polk psw10 sub and together there's no distortion in the bass at all. I would definitely recommend them.

I bought these at $199 each, but Best Buy matched the price when it went down to $149. As for the sound, it's fantastic. They pump out the full range of sound one would expect from left/right front channel speakers. I've paired them with a Polk subwoofer, Sony center channel, and Samsung rear speakers, and it's movie theater quality. I highly recommend these speakers.

Review for Polk Monitor XT60-Floor Speakers. After playing every genre of music at a normal volume (loud), jazz, classic rock, classical in High Res, and with my subwoofer turned OFF, sound quality is exceptional from these 2 XT60 speakers. Bass is deep, highs are clear, crisp and definitive. Streaming music in Lossless, Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Dolby Surround from Apple Music, it’s a treat to the ears. Even with the subwoofer turned OFF, Lossless, Dolby Atmos and Dolby 5.1 Music, bass is deep, and with a good punch. Audio from movies and TV are just as clean and concise regardless of audio formats. It’s all good from these Polk Towers. My new XT60s are replacing a pair of hard working Polk T50s. For now, and until I move to another apartment, the T50s are getting a well deserved rest in my closet. After which, I’ll use them for rear surround. I strongly recommend the Polk Monitor XT60s. And by the way, the XT60s are without a doubt... High Res.
