 Great sounding speaker at a great price! May 29, 2008

I have had these speakers for about three months now and after tuning them for a while now they sound phenomenol. Excellent for hard rock, hip hop, orchestra and reggae. But where they really excel is high definition audio via blu ray. One word "WOW" they sound great! With adequate power you should have no problems with these speakers. I am running them with an Onkyo TX-SR805 that puts out 130 watts per channel.
 The problem is with Amazon, not Polk January 13, 2008

I ordered Polk Monitor 70's from Amazon along with a promotional offer from Polk for $199 off for a subwoofer. The 70's arrived as advertised but I was later told that the subwoofer (PSW505) was not available and the order for the sub was cancelled. Well the PSW505 is still available...it's just that Amazon decided to not follow through with their end of the deal. This ended up to be not so good of a deal. I will not use Amazon again and would discourage others as well.
 Great Speakers And Price July 13, 2008

This is a great speaker, and the price is great also. I would recommend buying a really great receiver to push them, or you will not hear their full potential. I listened to these, and some Klipsh before making my decision, and I went with these. The speakers are built very good, and will compliment any home theater you may have. I highly recommend them.
These are great entry to mid-level high end speakers at a low end price.

Speaker is larger than I expected. Beautiful Cherry Finish. Speaker works better than I expected. I haven't really had a chance to run it on a wide range of music.
Nice Speakers July 23, 2008
I bought these to use with a Cambridge Audio Azur ver 2 reciever and a Marantz CD player and they sounds really great. I got them to replace a pair of Mission 774's and feel that these exceeded my expectations quite admirably. Not using for surround or with a sub and find that they sound quite balanced, the mid and low range is even and tight without the sort of boominess that I find annoying and the high end was not too bright but clear and open. Sure, you could pay as much as you want for high end audio but for this price these speakers are a great buy. I found them to handle all genres of music admirably. I did find that they sounded a bit harsh out of the box but they warmed up considerably over the course of about a week. My only complaint is that when you take the grills off they look cheesy but I do not like grills on my speakers so am trying to learn to live with it. Highly recommended for the price range.
