Unless they completely sold out, deal will be back. Keep your eyes peeled

Yeah, they still have stock of the 70's available. I would expect the 60's to go on sale next, but would think the 70's will be back on sale sometime before Christmas. I would get the 50's now if you want them. I don't see them going lower than 75 bones...and that's if they don't sell out anyways.

Thanks, Got 2 50s for now. If I grab 70s in future, will move 50s in the rear.

Quote from MIX MASTER ICE : Yeah, the 70's are back to $249.99 with no discount available. The 50's are still 74.99 and no date listed for the price to expire. This leads me to believe they are clearing out stock.

Got my 70's and 50's in today. None of the 4 speakers had any broken grills, thankfully. Out of the box the 70's are what I expected them to be, great. The 50's, however, surprised me. They are better than I expected. Having them in my setting, I was impressed with the depth they had, even more bass than expected. Of course I do have my speaker equalizers on my receiver set to boost the bass somewhat. At any rate, very pleased all the way around and I know these will just get better after a break in period of a few weeks.

I just received my 70's as well. I am still at work though so won't hook them up until tonight.

Question: I am temp using M40's as fronts till I got these bad boys and I have the 40's set as small speakers on the Onkyo receiver. With the 70's do I change this setting to large or leave as small?

newegg has 60s on sale now @ $99.99

I Hooked Them Up To My Onkyo,And They seem to be lacking.

I have a Onkyo HT-R380. Is it underpowering them or something? Should had a seperate amplifier or should I upgrade my reciever? If possible I would like to go the cheaper route. Thanks

Quote from dc1225 : Just received the box at work...holy sht! Boxes are huuuge...these things are like big black dong you see in pornos! If your wife's a size queen, watch out! You might come home and she might be riding it...very impressed. He'll, I might ride it myself. I was slightly regretting my purchase after seeing 60s go on sale but now I'm glad I got these!

Really? Dam, maybe clean the sht outta your ears?. I think maybe you would've been better off w RTi and amp.

Or realize just because they are Polks doesn't make them sound perfect with every setup. How about some real advice... O right you dont have any... NEXT

Ughhhhh, chill out? Is that real advice enough? I was kidding about cleaning ears but serious about RTi and amp.

Just put my rti12's from fry's sd as frts & moved the Monitor 70's to the rears. Wow can't explain the diff, now i need an new rec'er since my ancient onkyo has already powered-off due to overheating!

The 70's and 50's I bought I really didn't need, but bought because I wanted them. They replaced Sony SS-MF600 (mains) and Sony SS-F500 (surround sides). Now the Polk speakers do sound nice, but the thing is the Sony speakers also sounded pretty good. I know audio snobs will turn up their noses at Sony speakers, but these really do sound good for what they cost. I bought the MF600's for 70 bucks off craigslist and the F500's for 92 bucks, new from amazon.com. SO I spent 450 bucks to replace speakers that cost me 162 bucks. Was it an upgrade? Yes it was. Was it really worth spending $450? Can't really say it was. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't buy the Polk 70's and 50's and kept my $450. The Polk's sound cleaner than the Sony's, but the Sony's had better bass (8" woofers). I've hooked each up and listened, tweaked and compared. I got an upgrade for sure, just not on par with what I paid.

Wow super pissed...got home opened up the boxes and the tabs on the grills are broken, WTF!

Did anybodyelse receive theirs damaged?
