 Crystal Clear Highs........ January 24, 2005
18 out of 20 found this review helpful
Let me start by saying that I was looking for a pair of speakers to replace my Bose 701's. I love my Bose, but I felt that they were lacking in clarity on the higher end of the sound spectrum. So I decided to make them the front speakers of my home theater system, where the lack of high end sound clarity isn't as noticeable as when you are just sitting down listening to your favorite CD's. After much research I went to my local electronics store with a particular speaker in mind. I had decided on the Infinity Primus250. I was pleased with the highs that the Infinity's delivered, but before leaving I decided to listen to the Polk Monitor 50's because they were in the same price range and I know that Polk makes a quality product. After alternating listening to both speakers with a variety of music styles I was torn. Both speakers would have been a welcome addition to any home system, but the Polk speakers seemed to offer just a little more clarity on the higher end. The vocals and instumentation of the music seemed just a bit more alive with the Polks. I was right. When I got them home and hooked them up they sounded as good as they did in the store. So although I would not have been wrong if I had bought the Infinity's, I'm glad that I decided on the Polks. I hope this review has been helpful.
Sound and Price October 21, 2006

These speakers produce a beautiful sound for a very beautiful price. I just bought a pair of Monitor 50's to go with my sound system and home theater. The high end is crisp and clear, and the bass is clean, with no "booming" distortion. I compared these speakers to comparable floor-standing, 2-way Sonys, and the Polks outdo the competition with clarity and immaculate sound. The price at ABC Warehouse beats the cost quoted on Amazon, as I paid $175 for each one. Don't waste your time looking around. If this is your price point, these are your speakers.
Polk Monitor 50s live up to expectations January 17, 2007

and then some. They really bring the home theater experience to life. To me sound has always been the bigger part of movies. A great visual display can only do so much, even on the big screen in a "real" theater, but when you feel the thunder in your belly, that's something else again.
They are clear on the high end and can handle the low ends just fine!
I'd recommend a pair of these to anyone looking to upgrade.
BTW for some reason I had to buy these on a per item basis, I did buy two, would have been silly to buy just one, unless of course I was into Sunflowers.

I just picked up a pair of these off of Crutchfield, and they sound terrific. I tested them out vs. the Infinity Primus 250s, and although the Infinities had more volume, the Polks just sounded a lot cleaner. They're a good price for really high quality speakers, you won't be sorry.
 Works Just Fine December 9, 2006

Used these speakers as front speakers for some time now, recently upgraded to the 70's Polk Monitor Speakers and moved them to the back of the system as the rear speakers. Totally happy with the Polk Monitors 50's and 70's. You'll probably need a subwoofer to bring these to perfection.
