The name “Monitor” is special to Polk Audio. The original Polk Audio Monitor Series, produced in the mid-1970s, ushered in the modern loudspeaker era by setting the standard for performance and value. The original Monitor Series is the line that made Polk Audio famous with its simple, sturdy construction, clear, accurate sound, powerful bass and superior imaging—all at a price that made great sound available to everyone. The newly reborn Monitor Series II is classic Polk: a quality-built, affordable line of high performance loudspeakers for music and home theater. They are highly efficient, so they can be driven easily by unpretentious receivers and they are voice matched for lifelike surround sound environments. The Monitor Series boasts a stylish contemporary look, with vinyl veneer finishes, modern dark grey faces, and bold stabilizer feet on the tower models. Built for speed, sound quality and value, the Monitor Series is a great introduction to high performance sound.

  • newegg Slim, High Efficiency Design The Polk Audio Monitor60B features a slim tower design with a footprint of less than one square foot to fit your flat-panel TV, plasma monitors and other thin-line home cinema components. High efficiency design allows the Monitor60B to reveal the classic Polk Audio sound (open, spacious and clear) even when driven by modestly-powered amplifiers and receivers. Bold, fat stabilizer feet ensure stability on carpet or hard floors for more precise bass response and superior imaging.
  • newegg Exceptional Sound Quality The Polk Audio Monitor60B boasts three 5.25" Bi-Laminate composite dynamic balance drivers stiff with good damping for high efficiency, excellent bass and midrange clarity with lower distortion. And a 1-inch Fabric/Polymer Composite Dynamic Balance Dome Tweeter with powerful Neodymium magnet structure delivers clear and detailed high frequency response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments.
  • newegg Enhanced Features The Polk Audio Monitor60B features small-diameter driver design that delivers wide dispersion, better mid-range, and more detailed bass response for an open, “box-less,” three-dimensional sound. Non-resonant all-MDF enclosure construction with ¾"-thick baffles ensures cleaner, clearer, more lifelike sound quality. Crossovers use Mylar bypass capacitors for more detailed high frequencies. Critically Tuned Flared Port minimizes port noise (“chuffing”) for good low frequency extension with low distortion, resulting in natural, full-bodied sound with rich bass.
  • newegg Magnetically Shielded The magnetically-shielded Polk Audio Monitor60B can be put at any proximity to display devices such as TVs and LCD monitors without loss of sound quality caused by interference.

5 out of 5 eggsPolk Monitor 60 Series ll

Pros: Excellent sound both mids and highs, but even though I have a psw10 subwoofer I found the bass better than some of the other reviews.

Cons: Not really a con but they are 38.5" tall!
also the grills are kinda easy to break if your not real careful when taking off to look at the speakers. I did crack one.

Other Thoughts: At 7"w 13"d and 38.5" tall make sure you have the room for them.The sound is much better than I expected with very true voice at moderate sound levels. After many hours (approximately 40 hours only owned a week) the quality seems to be rounding out (breaking in) with each song played. I play Rock Jazz R&B country and classical.

5 out of 5 eggsLove my Monitor 60's

Pros: Excellent mid range sound (tight punch)
Good highs
Price/Performance cannot be matched

Cons: A little smaller than expected

Other Thoughts: I love these speakers. They really bring my Onkyo 515 to life and allow for an awesome home theater experience. You need to pair them with a solid sub woofer as they can't really hit deep LFE bass levels, but mids and highs they cover in spades. I use a Polk Audio PSW10, CS2 center channel, and R300's in the rear with an Onkyo NR-TX515, and I am always getting compliments on how amazing my home theater surround sound is. You cannot go wrong with these speakers.

5 out of 5 eggsBEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

Pros: Excellent mids, accurate highs, sturdy/well built

Cons: Not really a con for the speakers, just for my situation. Since the speakers have a rather narrow base, they could be knocked over pretty easily. The rounded fat pegs don't help much. This hasn't happened yet, but I have 3 kids...it'll happen soon. I guess this is true with any floor standing speaker though.

Other Thoughts: These were a much needed upgrade. I am blown away by the quality of these speakers. I've heard/owned much more expensive speakers that don't nearly measure up to these bad boys. If you're a snobby Audiophile who is looking for true studio quality, please go elsewhere....and spend THOUSANDS more. If you are looking for great home speakers for an phenomenal price, you've found it!
My set up:
Receiver - Harman Kardon AVR 1700
Front L/R - Polk Monitor 60 X 2
Center - Polk CS1
Surround L/R - Polk TL2 X 2
Subwoofer - Polk PSW110

5 out of 5 eggsLove these!

Pros: At $99 each they're by far the best value between price and performance.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Didn't want to invest in an amp so the Monitor 70's were not an option. My HK 240 handles these great speakers just fine. Great sound. Too bad they're discontinued.

5 out of 5 eggsSound Great

Pros: Easy to hook up, no assembly required. Great frequency response.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Other Thoughts: Run these with a CS2 center channel and BIC DV32Bs as surrounds, no sub. These speakers do a great job of providing the base in my apartment and make movies sound much more enjoyable. I wouldn't say that they can replace a subwoofer, though they do great for my current situation as I did not want to get a sub and anger all my neighbors.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Bang for Buck

Pros: •Good mid-bass; surprisingly tight/controlled. Warm, full sound.
•Mids and highs are not distorted/overshadowed by the bass.
•Ability to bi-amp
•Visually appealing
•Not as large or heavy as I was expecting

Cons: •Highs aren't as detailed as I would have liked, but still very good considering price. These may come to life after burn-in.
•Practically no sub-bass. You will need a subwoofer to get these lows.

Other Thoughts: I used my headphone collection (Sennheiser HD 650, Grado/Alessandro MS2, Denon AH-D2000, Ultrasone Pro 900) as a reference to judge these speakers.

Amp: Denon AVR-1613
Center Speaker: Polk CS2 Series II

5 out of 5 eggsA great compact speaker

Pros: These speakers are very impressive. The sound feels very open and lively, making it hard to pinpoint the sound from each speaker. They create an awesome sound stage and stay out of the way. They are also compact and stylish.

Cons: They are hard to stand up straight on thicker carpet. The grills are pretty cheap feeling.

Other Thoughts: I am really surprised by how small these speakers are and the sound that they put out. These speakers will not disappoint. I picked them up for $99/speaker on Thanksgiving and I am using them in my large bedroom. I also picked up the monitor ii 30's and csi1 that match it. I only payed $339 for the whole set and I must admit, I feel like I stole them at that price point. I had a psw202 sub sitting around and picked up a yamaha rxv373 to complete the setup. I enjoy this setup so much, it really does compete with my main setup in the living room. These speakers are great for music and movies; great all around speakers at a price point you just can't beat!
