Spent a long time deciding between Polk Audio and Klipsch. Finally decided to go for Polk after trying out a few different models of both. They’re both great brands. This compares with the Klipsch RP 280 series, but with a warmer sound of you intend to listen to a lot of music. I paired these with a Klipsch K100SW sub which is amazingly responsive at very low frequencies, and a Polk Audio CS10 Center channel. Amazing setup.

Amazing sound, they compare very well with our Klipsch RF-82 II Reference Series which cost much more than the Polk Monitor 70 Series II. The sound is very clear, great separation of sound and the bass is fine, no need for a sub-woofer for music as long as you use a quality receiver with at least 100 watts per channel. These speakers will blow you away for the price you pay for them.

Have a bit of patience and don't judge their sound till they're broken in. Maybe 30hrs or so and mainly for the woofers. They then open up even with entry level receivers like the one I have (Marantz NR-1403). Open soundstage, good tone color and a very decent bass extension which I am sure will improve a lot more with powerful receivers. At their price level, they are hard to beat. Build quality is excellent and they punch way above their price band. I've had them for about a month and I am so glad I got them. Update 9/19: Still rocking on with the speakers I bought! Adding two more of these as my surrounds. The prices were a bit cheaper too, this time around. Grab them before they are gone.

First, they are a bit on the power hungry side so, a good high current amplifier/receiver will be able to drive them properly. Secondly, don't make any judgment calls on them before the break in period.....they "loosen up" quite a bit even after 40-50 hours of playing. For the price, I'm impressed with the sound quality although, the cabinets could be braced more. All in all, I'm pleased with them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for the budget minded.

These speakers rock. You could spend a lot more money but why would you? Polk has great sound at an affordable price. These speakers also look good. The quality is very good and you cant beat the awesome sound quality for the price.
