- Great value - hard to beat in this price range
I have pair of the Monitor 50's from my front speakers (with a Polk CS2 for the center, a pair of Monitor 30's for the side surrounds and in-ceiling for the rear surrounds, with a Velodyne CHT-10 sub and an Onkyo 605 AVR). These speakers replaced a set of Athena .5 speakers which were actually pretty good speakers. The Monitor 50's, though, with their dual 5.5" drivers definitely have a stronger presence in the mid-frequency ranges. After a couple of weeks break in time, I must say that I'm very happy with how I spend my speaker budget.

Some have pointed out that these speakers will need a sub, and I certainly agree. Not that I see that as a shortcoming of these speakers, I think it is reasonable to assume one will need a sub for home theater use when buying main speakers in this price range. These speakers are good down to around 60Hz, though you may want to cross them over a bit higher. For most music only listening, I think you can skip the sub, but if you want the full home theater experience, get a sub.

Once I got these set up, I ran through the auto-calibration routine on the Onkyo AVR a few times. Pay attention to speaker placement (Google speaker placement for some specific tips). As with any speaker, optimal placement, calibration and room configuration will make a huge difference. The time you spend on these three areas will make a big difference. I started off with my Monitor 50's too close to each other for my viewing/listening position. Once I dialed on the placement, sound quality for surround sound movies improved quite a bit.

- Surprising sound for the money
I just purchased 2 pairs of these to be powered by a Marantz 2285, replacing junk Sears speakers I've had since the mid 80's. I was initially concerned that a 2 way speaker with no large subwoofer would compromise the highs and lows. Let me tell you, these sound fantastic. These Polks can take all my Marantz can give and then some. The only drawback (if you want to call it that)is the speakers need about 5 minutes to "warm up". Bass is true and rich, mids and highs cut through very well, if you want a quality, versatile set of speakers for 250-300 dollars , you need to look into these Polk 50's.

- Great speakers for the price
Great speakers for the price. Able to handle everything I have thrown at them. Those that say they have "no bass" I say WTF????? I have had to adjust my bass level down on my receiver.

- Great Sound! Great Price!
After purchasing a 46" Samsung flat panel, it quickly became apparent that High Def video only delivers part of the home theatre experience. Several home theatre audio options were explored (HTIB, Bose 321, High End and Low End), but after scratching the surface, they were either inadequate or out of reach price wise. My neighbor was going through a similar process and purchased a high end receiver and also picked up two tower speakers for $500 a piece. I sampled the sound on his system and was not impressed, particularly for the $1,500 price tag on 3 pieces. I picked up an Onkyo705 receiver, two monitor 50 L&R speakers, CSi3 center speaker, velodyne sub and two cheap surrounds (until I can afford the polk dipoles). That was 10 months ago, and I have not been disappointed. I get compliments all the time on my system, and I got 5 pieces of equipment for less than my neighbor paid for 3. Whether it is movie sound tracks or music, these speakers rock. The sound is clear and full, while other speakers I've sampled sound tinny or flat. You can easily pick out individual instruments. And while a sub noticeably delivers deep base, these speakers don't slack on their own. I often watch TV or listen to music without the sub on. The build is solid, unlike some of the other offerings...my kids fell into one and knocked it into the wall. While the wall had two large chunks out of it, there was no damage to the speaker. If you're looking for great sound at a great price, then get these.

Did some research, checked Consumer Reports, sent for the Polks. I'm more than satisfied. The sound is bright, strong, and absolutely clear. The bass is fine, too, with accurate reproduction of concussion and strings. I bought these with a center speaker, but have no sub-woofer needs, since I listen to jazz and classical and am not looking to thump myself out of the room. I give them a 4 instead of a 5 only because I figure there must be something better out there that costs a lot more.
