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.

I am very happy with these speakers. However, I am beginning to wish I had bought the Monitor 60's instead. I have an excellent subwoofer, and currently I do not have the Monitor 70's set to full band on my receiver. I crossed them over to the sub because I prefer the sub handle the bass. If this is how you are planning to set up your home theater then I would suggest getting the Monitor 60's instead. If your fronts aren't going to be set to full band then there is no need for a 3-way speaker. By getting the Monitor 60's you would save some money, and have one extra woofer handling the mids. If you are not getting a subwoofer then I suggest the Monitor 70's, however, in order to get a lot of bass out of them they would need more power then a normal A/V receiver can supply. If you get a stereo amp just for these, that would defeat the point of getting the monitor series of speakers as I consider this line a sort of bargain line in the home theater arena.

i love these. i have had these since 2005. they have been wonderful and were very affordable. these make listening to all genre's of music great listening, along with my 12" sub. awesome buy.
