This review is from: Polk Audio Monitor60 Series II Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black) Single
Pros:
These sound great and are very transparent. You also can't beat the special price of $99.99 each with free shipping (thanks, NewEgg!). One arrived yesterday from Nashville and one arrived today from Memphis. I wish I had gotten two from Nashville (see Cons). I am replacing a pair of RT55's on stands for my main stereo rig, and these bad boys love my sufficiently powered Onkyo receiver. +/- 0 volume is simply awesome. I really like the sound.
Cons:
Unfortunately, one of the speakers arrived with the speaker grill broken (seriously collapsed at the top with broken plastic). I described the issue when I registered the speaker with the broken grill earlier today, but haven't heard back from Polk Audio yet. From what I'm seeing in the other reviews, it will be awhile before I get a new one. Automatic 1 egg deduction for hassle factor. Maybe if Polk Audio folks read these reviews, they'll send the grill manufacturing design back to those engineers who are always under pressure to cost-cut their designs. The RT55's were a much better design and manufactured with a better quality grill. I think a speaker grill that is nearly free standing and suspended away from the speaker box is just asking for trouble, especially one made of thin plastic.
