californiaflow Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I just picked up the cleanest pair of PolkAudio Monitor 50 speakers and a PolkAudio CS10 center speaker at a garage sale for $40. I've heard Polks are pretty good; does anyone have experience with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octave Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have the monitor 50s and 70s. I like them and I also got them for pretty cheap. Worth every penny. I'm sure they are not any kind of audiophile quality, but the sound pretty good anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm all Polk and love them. I have the Polk 45b's on bookshelves ear-level by my computer desk. I also have the Polk floor-standing 75ts on either side of my component stand. Finally, I have a Polk PSW10 subwoofer for a little extra bass ouput if necessary but to be honest, the other pairs do a nice job by themselves. Just depends on the music I'm listening to, if I decide to put the sub up or not. cbbrew22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiaflow Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Update: They sound awesome. However, at louder volumes they cut out. I'm thinking my receiver isn't powerful enough? It's a Sony HCD-541. Update 2: Fixed the cutting out issue. Completely rewired everything and it sounds amazing with my Sony woofer. Debating on doing some surround sound with my JBLs now. At the moment in my room, I have the Polk trio set up, and resting are a set of 70s Fisher Loud-Speakers, a set of JBL Stage Venue floor-speakers, a set of JBL G150 bookshelf speakers, a set of Pioneer floor-speakers, and a complete 2.1 iHome system with sub. Way too many speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
