The original monitor series is the line that made Polk 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 reborn monitor series 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 look that complements today's flat screen technology, with wood grain finishes and modern titanium faces. Built for speed, sound and value, the monitor series is a great introduction to high performance sound.

  • High value for money
Style: MXT35
The sound is excellent for a mid speaker. I liked the low physical height of it which still allowed this quality.

  • Perfect size, great sound
Style: MXT35
Finally a center channel that takes into account people's actual furniture. Especially since we don't have our TVs mounted to the wall in our rental unit, this is a perfect size to fit under a TV (ours is 55"). I used to have the older Polk center channel and it was mounted above my TV on a shelf I built. But that was a pain to assemble, and we didn't end up using it when we moved to a new place. But this new one is so much more consumer friendly. We had the TV on its original foot mount, but the center channel was just a hair too tall (its maybe 4"). We got a fairly cheap extendable arm to put on top of our TV cabinet and the Polk center channel fits perfectly on that foot. The whole setup is very space efficient. That said, the sound is great. All the modern sound setups on streaming, TV and BluRays (remember those?) seems to be designed for dialogue in the center channel. With this Polk unit plugged into our Onkyo TX-NR636 (at least 5 years old), we can once again hear all the dialogue and our side speakers (Polk 10" bookshelves and JBL 20" monitors) can distribute and handle bass, higher treble and directional sound. Its a very satisfying setup for our space and a great piece of gear. ... show more

  • Great speaker

Very nice center speaker, sounds best with other XT speakers, but would sound good with any speakers.

  • Improved dialogue
Style: MXT35
My Boomer ears aren't what they used to be and over the last 5 months dialogue was getting harder to make out. Had an older Polk center speaker that was good. Took a chance and ordered this. Dialogue is now easy to follow. Put 3 layers of foam board under it to absorb the vibration and angled up to have sound go to ear level. Volume now down from 30 to 20. ... show more
