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 Monitor70B 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 Monitor70B 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 Monitor70B boasts four 6.5" 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 Monitor70B 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 Monitor70B can be put at any proximity to display devices such as TVs and LCD monitors without loss of sound quality caused by interference.

4 out of 5 eggsVery happy with these speakers

Pros: Sound very good for the price, look beautiful

Cons: One grill damaged when speakers arrived. One tweeter failed within first 3 months.

Other Thoughts: Even though I had the damaged grill, and a failed tweeter, Polk was VERY helpful, and it was incredibly simple to call them, get someone on the phone to help, and they sent replacement parts within a few days and didn't even want me to send the old parts back. EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!!!!! I'm using these as my front towers in a 5.1 surround system, and I'm very happy with them so far. Had them about a year now.

5 out of 5 eggsMonitor 70

Pros: On my 521-k pioneer receiver these speakers sound clear and have enough bass in them to be considered full range speakers if you really want heavy bass you will always need a Sub but when i Liston to these speakers i'm never caring about adding a Sub and i watch movies and Liston to music a lot. Not to mention playing games the bass is never lacking or overwhelming. The bass is the kind you hear not feel.

Cons: These probably want more power then i'm giving them just make sure you don't turn your receiver past 2/3 the volume after that your receiver will start clipping most amps start clipping past that.

Other Thoughts: Who ever said these have no bass is insane or their running these on a receiver that can't even give my 50 watts. Not to mention these speakers a definitely clear their really clear their even a bit to bright some times. If you are building a home theater with these i would set the crossover on 50-60.

My next purchase is going to be a Class D amp with pioneer for around $800+ i'm keeping these speakers for a long time 5-10 years most likely and yes i will eventually add a sub and do the crossover at 50-60.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat sound for price!

Pros: These speakers are great, they have a surprising amount of clean low end response for the size of the woofers in them! My old speakers were a junk set from a neighbor and I used to enable fake surround sound in everything to make it sound better, but now, just having 2 of these as the main stereo speakers is immaculate.

Great sound clarity and decible for the price!

Cons: High end in the 15k+ can tend to be a little shaky up at higher db levels, you can occasional hear a small amount of distortion and or noise from the tweeter if you listen carefully.

Other Thoughts: I run sound by trade and have listened to many systems in my life, including stereo sets worth $10,000 or more, while these may not truly compare in clarity and crispness they are certainly a wonderful set that works very well for home use with a budget!
