Certified Hi-Res Audio Performance

Monitor XT30's Terylene dome tweeter enables playback beyond the range of human hearing-up to 40kHz-ensuring an airy, clear, high-end energy and spaciousness that you'll not only hear but feel. Its high-resolution performance is perfect for the enjoyment of sound found in ultra-HD movies, multichannel concert videos, and spatial audio mixed for Apple Music, Dolby Atmos, or DTS:X.

Surprisingly Effortless Bass

Polk has always been known for speakers that produce effortless bass that's surprising for their size. The MXT30 is no exception. Dual 5.25" high-efficiency, dynamically balanced woofers provide a clean, open mid-range and punchy, responsive bass, with low distortion-leaving voices and music clear while filling concerts, movies, and games with impact .

Dolby Atmos Certified & DTS:X Compatible

Compatible with the latest Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound enabled AV receivers and 4- and 8-ohm amplifiers, Monitor XT does not require specialized equipment to deliver great sound.

Built for Pure Listening

All Monitor XT models are made for the enjoyment of pure sound: Their nickel-plated binding posts provide a direct, lossless connection; low-resonance, critically braced, MDF cabinets isolate the sound of the woofers and tweeter without adding unwanted resonances; and their removable, precision-fit grilles minimize sonic interference.

Consistent Sound Throughout the Series

The Monitor XT Series was designed with quality, timbre-consistent components throughout to enable you to mix and match models to build your dream home theater or music listening setup. Matched components provide a unified sound field with seamless speaker-to-speaker blending for truly immersive listening experiences.

Modern Styling Nearly Five Decades in the Making

Monitor XT Series is the latest evolution of Polk's critically acclaimed Monitor speaker line originally introduced in 1974. We've continued to refine our craft since then and they feature our latest innovations in affordable, but great sounding tweeters, woofers, and cabinetry. Plus, their modern, stylish design will fit with any home décor

    Finally a center channel that takes into account people's actual furniture. Especially since we don't have our TVs mounted to the wall in our rental unit, this is a perfect size to fit under a TV (ours is 55"). I used to have the older Polk center channel and it was mounted above my TV on a shelf I built. But that was a pain to assemble, and we didn't end up using it when we moved to a new place. But this new one is so much more consumer friendly. We had the TV on its original foot mount, but the center channel was just a hair too tall (its maybe 4"). We got a fairly cheap extendable arm to put on top of our TV cabinet and the Polk center channel fits perfectly on that foot. The whole setup is very space efficient. That said, the sound is great. All the modern sound setups on streaming, TV and BluRays (remember those?) seems to be designed for dialogue in the center channel. With this Polk unit plugged into our Onkyo TX-NR636 (at least 5 years old), we can once again hear all the dialogue and our side speakers (Polk 10" bookshelves and JBL 20" monitors) can distribute and handle bass, higher treble and directional sound. Its a very satisfying setup for our space and a great piece of gear.

    We had been using our sound system without a center speaker ever since we got a new one. It was really hard to understand the conversations. It is SO nice to be able to tell what people are saying now. My only problem with it is that it is way bigger than the measurement I thought it gave and does not fit at all in the space I had for it so now it is standing up on another speaker. At least it makes a nice perch for the cats to see the fishtank now too, I guess.

    I have been building a home system for the past couple of years with both new items when on sale from different sources and old speakers bought off of Marketplace all connected to a 7.2 Pioneer VSX 932 amp. With the exception of my 4 side and back speakers they are all Polk who has an awesome rep for being top end speakers! I bought this one to replace my CS 100 Polk speaker that I bought for $40 off the net and it sounded good. I bought this new Polk to replace it as Xmas gift to myself and it does not disappoint! Amazing sound quality and clear crisp voice sound from the speaker. I love the Atmos effect sound feature that I was looking for. I was looking for Atmos Height speakers to add on to the fronts but this idea works better…

    One of the reviews stated the unit was plastic but mine is solid and heavy wood which I am very pleased as a plastic box would lower the standards! I paid $500 for this speaker and that’s a lot but I am very happy with the sound coming out of it. It’s a good addition to my home system. I don’t see any good Polk surround speakers but my side and back Bose 101’s sounds amazing and they are small so not visible in my living room set up as hidden in the many plants my wife has!

    The only complain I have is the posts are too close together. I have big fingers and getting the wires around the bottom of the posts and holding them in place while tightening the posts is a challenge! The wires came off a few times till I finally got the post tight! I plan on using banana plugs if I can find them in my house…

    Overall excellent sounding speakers that will make any buyer happy watching any type of media from TV, to DVD, to B
