Recently purchased a pair of PolkAudio R60′s for $228/pair! Bought them on line at VISIONS CANADA. Cannot say enough about the sound and power these output. Extremely superb set of speakers although now discontinued. But a salesperson at VISIONS CANADA(in store), told me they have access to ample sets of these speakers. I say watch for the Annual Boxing Day Blitz and grab them then.

You have not considered sub $1,000 by a great many of the world’s most respected loudspeaker producers (Monitor Audio, B&W, KEF, Tannoy to name just a few), yet you include the likes of Fluance and Cerwin Vega. How can this article be at all authoritative?

Hi Andy –

Hard to judge based off no price points given – but you could look at BIC America home theater speakers – or for a bit more both in price and better sound would be something from Axiom – but really depends on who much you want to spend. If you like a smooth warmer sound you could look at Polk. Axiom and BIC would be open and airy and Polk will give you more warmth. Just depends on your ears.

Just goes to show……. speakers are very PERSONEL!!! what one hears another does not..what one likes anothes does ‘nt……I prefer recording studio speakers like B&W’s and have owned thir top of the line many times…. but my Aurum Cantus Moon Goddess speakers provide the same accracey,SPL,FREQ. responce, and with the ribbon tweeters just a tad faster on transients….so thats why I have em…I LOVE EM! but you may not!

No mention of the Axiom or Aperion line of floorstanders. What a diservice to all audiophiles.

Love Polk, looking at them for years. Great advise for a newbie like me, with not a lot to spend!
Newegg.com has Polk Monitor 70 Series II for $179 ea, pair for $365.96 total. Monitor 60 series II (not quite the mid range) for $109 ea., total for a pair, S/H , no tax, $225. Sale on until Jan 25th only.
Better than ebay right now. Cant find series I anymore, Thanks!.

Now I need just need advise on newer power amp.

KEF IQ9BL for 399/ea……. total steal at Amazon. 1500 worth of speakers for almost half price for the pair.
