Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
The Polk Audio Monitor 70 3-way Floorstanding Speaker is a quality-built yet affordable, high-performance loudspeaker for music and home theater. The Polk Monitor 70 provides open, spacious and clear audio even when driven by modestly-powered amplifiers and receivers, and is voice matched for lifelike surround-sound environments. This monitor boasts a stylish look that complements today's flat screen technology, with a sleek black finish, beefy stabilizer feet that ensure stability on carpet or hard floors, and a slim tower design that has a footprint of less than one square foot.

The Polk Monitor 70 utilizes a one-inch silk and polymer-composite dynamic-balance dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet structure that delivers a clear and detailed high frequency response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments, as well as dual subwoofer and dual midwoofer 6.5-inch bi-laminate composite dynamic-balance drivers that are lightweight and stiff with good dampening for high efficiency, excellent bass and lower distortion. This unit's non-resonant all-MDF enclosure construction with 0.75-inch-thick baffles, and front-to-back and side-to-side internal bracing ensures cleaner and more lifelike sound quality. The Monitor 70 features crossovers that use Mylar bypass capacitors for more detailed high frequencies, five-way binding-post connectors for more secure hook-up options and bi-wiring and bi-amping flexibility, and magnetic shielding for safe placement on or near TVs and video monitors without causing video distortion. This unit includes a critically-tuned flared port that minimizes port noise for good low-frequency extension with minimal distortion, resulting in natural, full-bodied and rich-bass sound. Built for speed, sound and value, the Polk Monitor 70 is a great introduction to high-performance sound.

Customer Reviews

OUTSTANDING!!!5
After listening to all what Polk has to offer - from the M20 through M70 - you can't beat the M70. It offers all a little of bass, treble and the highs! I started with the M50 with CS1 and the PSW10. Not bad but not enough treble and steady bass. The M70 is an outstanding speaker for the money - inexpensive with an tremendous sound. My set-up M70 / CS2 / PSW10 / with an ONKYO HTR-500. You will be surprise what a 50watt PSW10 puts out. Perfect for all movies and music dvds. And you can't beat FREE 2-day to HAWAII! Thank you!

Polk Audio RT400 and RT600.(speakers)(Evaluation): An article from: Sensible Sound I am amazed by the sound, they are a great buy and I recomend them to anyone thinking about new speakers.

Monitor stands out5
These speakers standout. You need a good set of electronics to back it up. Clarity is excellent. The setup still requires a nice subwoofer, as the speakers woofer is not powerful enough. Onkyo 7xx/8xx allows bi-amp using the rear back connectors, it improves the woofer performance compared to default setup. Iam in a loose-loose situation with onkyo & polk audio. I either loose 7.1 or bass performance. I cant blame polk for that. Iam going to switch to 7.1 and use a sub.

HSU-VTF Sub is more than capable of handling any low frequency. Onkyo double basss is a cool idea, now both my sub and speakers can work in tandem.
