good but the 75Ts are better
10/16/2013
This review is from: Polk Audio Monitor Series New Monitor 65T Three-Way Ported Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Cherry) Single
Pros:
Good for their size. I had a pair for a few days when the 75Ts were suddenly for sale at a price that could not be beat. So I packed these up. There is a noticeable improvement in the 75Ts.
They have good bass but are best at midrange. A subwoofer adds fun to the collection.
Cons:
At the discount price of $150 each they were a steal, at full price maybe not so much (I paid $300 each about a week before the sale, remember that the advertised price is for one single speaker, not a pair).
Overall Review:
Prices on speakers are very volatile. My recommendation, unless you are in a huge hurry, is to subscribe to Newegg notifications, and then pick out between three and five different speakers here that get good reviews from a large number of people. Then, wait for one of these sets to go on sale, and buy it. Newegg is very aggressive about putting a good set of speakers into the e-blast deals once a month or so, they want to sell 'em and you want to buy 'em at a good price, so take a deep breath and sit back and watch. Also read the reviews carefully because many buyers will indicate the sale price which will give you a good idea of what to wait for.
It is still the case that the speakers are the most important part of the system and you should get the best you can. But if you let Newegg come to you with a deal that you just can't turn down you'll be happier with the price then if you just click and buy. Most mid-range speakers are pretty good, so check out some of the other big names, such as Klipsch, and then religiously watch your Newegg notifications. In a month or two you'll find a real deal.
