Polk Monitor XT90 Hi-Res Height Speaker Pair for 3D Sound Effect - Dolby Atmos-Certified, DTS:X and DTS Virtual:X Compatible 4" Dynamically Balanced Woofer, Midnight Black

Legit amazing! 10/10 Price was perfect, would 100% buy again! 🥰But warning for people who live in apartments, if you’re not careful someone is definitely going to complain. Unless your goal is to get people upset, then ignore this warning because this will work for that 😂Also if you roll up like a foam soundproofing wall panel, and put it in the rear port (but not like fully blocking off the port though), it will make it a bit punchier. Not that it needs that to be done in anyway, but if you’re having this in a small room then doing that helps in ways that I can’t explain with words.It easily connected to my PC via optical output, which goes to an optical splitter. Then the optical branches off to my soundbar optical input and my GoXLR optical input. Then from the GoXLR I use the 3.5mm line out, converting to over to RCA into the subwoofer. This allows me to get perfect, easy and independent remote volume control of the subwoofer via the GoXLR sliders, while still having a master control on the PC that will adjust both the soundbar and subwoofer at the same time, resulting in perfectly fine tuned sound quality with absolutely no distortion.

Let me start by saying I never leave reviews. But after finishing my dedicated theater room and firing up my Polk Audio setup, I had to make an exception. Simply put: I'm blown away.My system includes:2 Polk XT70 Towers2 XT30 Centers (yes, two centers, and clarity is unreal)2 OWM3s for rear surround1 XT12 SubwooferPowered by a Denon AVR-S570BTI spent around $1,200–$1,300 on this setup, and it performs like something three to four times that price.I tested it with everything from Star Wars, Top Gun: Maverick, Mission: Impossible, Transformers, and the full Marvel catalog. Every explosion, orchestral swell, and whispered line is crisp, dynamic, and immersive. The sub hits hard when needed, and the highs and mids are perfectly balanced. Dialogue clarity is exceptional, and music playback is just as impressive, with a wide soundstage, tight bass, and clean highs.As someone working in film and television, I use this system to review projects before sending them to streaming platforms. It gives me confidence that our audio is tight across all frequencies and plays beautifully on real-world systems.If you're looking for a budget-friendly, high-performance setup, get yourself a Polk system and pair it with a Denon AVR. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. The smile on my face during the first listen said it all.

I needed to replace my garage stereo system and didn't want to spend stupid money, I've spent that on higher-end equipment inside the house. I saw these and recalled that I had liked them previously when I could actually hear them demoed, and I bought a pair for my daughter who probably sold them anyway. I took the risk again on them not being able to hear them first and I am very impressed. Nice looking, heavy, great sound...cleaner sound than what they replaced, and can take the volume level that I wanted for the garage. For the price, I don't think you'll find a better speaker.

I have 2 in stereoSmsl ps200 dac2 x crown mono 135ma ampsSound great. They really do techno and rap well. I came from pioneer speakers I have to get used to polks soft tweeter. I really enjoy the enclosed speaker (no port) this is the main reason I bought it. Such a unique commercial sounding setup.The xt60 do stereo well without a sub.I took a star off because both my cabinets came with minor damage to the cabinets.Doesn't bug me much but I know this will kill the deal for some.

Super crisp sound and very well made

So I am not an audiophile. I do like good sounding music though. And I am of the age that I remember simply epic amplifiers, speakers and stereos in just about everybody's houses. In my own house in the 80s and 90s, you could crank the music so loud and it would nearly deafen you, and that's with what my mom had bought at the local electronics store.Fast forward to today and we have nothing of that caliber. The soundbar is the closest thing to a home stereo system. AI assistants pump out OK sounding endless shuffles, vaguely in the direction you are feeling.So I made it my job to change that. I bought a decent turntable, a troubling amount of vinyl and an ... ok all-in-one amp+speaker system. I'm not going to name it, but it was lackluster to say the least.It got me yearning for that literal blast from the past. The boom of bass and that wall of sound. Did I find it in my XT20s? Yeah I did. It rocks.First, these things can get loud, good news there. They have larger woofers, 6.5" and they make noise. No, these aren't 12" subs on the floor like the old days, but on the other hand, they are lighter and look pretty cool.Setting it up? Well, pretty easy to attach speaker wire, but the road to here was long. You need an amp and preamp, turntable, these speakers. But my music sounds good again though; the house thumps. I put on music for the family like the old days. I'm very happy with the purchase.For those audiophiles who don't love just the "feels". I did do a lot of youtube research to find the best bang for the buck. I know there's other good brands out there, but let's just agree that this is one of them too. It's also super easy to find a sale and the are delivered quickly. I love the look and they make nice sounding noise. Easy recommend.
