 Deep bass December 3, 2008
I've seen some reviewers question the adequacy of the Monitor 70's bass response. I have these speakers hooked up to a modestly powered Onkyo receiver, and I find the bass more than adequate for all types of music. I like a deep, rich bass in my tunes, and I have felt no need to attach a subwoofer to my system. In fact, I've turned the bass down a bit on my receiver to allow the midrange to shine through. As others have noted, the midrange and highs are crisp. Be aware the speaker is almost 16" deep, so it tends to stick out from the wall.
 No better speaker for price October 5, 2008

I purchased the Polk Audio Monitor 70 speakers 3 months ago.I use them for listening to 2 channel stereo.After listening to them extensively and considering what I paid for them,I should have felt like I was STEALING when I bought them.When paired with the right power source these are just unbeatable for the price.With the NAD C325BEE integrated amplifier these speakers put out an INCREDIBLE BASS response:clean,deep,powerful and tightly controlled,displaying great detail.Yes,DETAIL in the bass response.With this amp and Polk M70 speakers there is NO NEED for a sub-woofer.The mid-range is awesome and the high frequencies are crystal clear with no hint of harshness or stridency.After hooking these up to the new amplifier I was just FLOORED at the quality of the sound that leapt out at me.The human voice is reproduced faithfully with every sibilant and subtle expression captured.It sounds like the singer is in the room with you! These are beautifully balanced in tone and sound NATURAL.They sound crisp and have great punch if you have the power to push them properly.There are many speakers out there that cost much more that don't sound as good as these Polk's.These Polk speakers have been a revelation and I am tickled sonically pink.Want the most bang for your buck? BUY THESE!

I was one of those folks with bose speakers as my front speakers. I am not going to bash Bose, however I now hear instruments that I did not even know were there!! These are very well constructed speakers. I give these 5 stars and you will be happy with them. Well done Polk Audio!!

I bought these to use with a Cambridge Audio Azur ver 2 reciever and a Marantz CD player and they sounds really great. I got them to replace a pair of Mission 774's and feel that these exceeded my expectations quite admirably. Not using for surround or with a sub and find that they sound quite balanced, the mid and low range is even and tight without the sort of boominess that I find annoying and the high end was not too bright but clear and open. Sure, you could pay as much as you want for high end audio but for this price these speakers are a great buy. I found them to handle all genres of music admirably. I did find that they sounded a bit harsh out of the box but they warmed up considerably over the course of about a week. My only complaint is that when you take the grills off they look cheesy but I do not like grills on my speakers so am trying to learn to live with it. Highly recommended for the price range.
