Out freakin standing June 18, 2008
I absolutely love it. I paired this with with Polk audio: CS2 center, 60 towers, RC85i wall souround, and RC80i in ceiling for back surround. With a large living room and cathedral ceilings, and an ONKYO SR805 to push them, these speakers provide an excellent home theater/music experience.
CONS: Make sure you get a subwoofer seperately (not really a con, more of a requirement)

I am very impressed with the sound and look of these speakers. They fit perfectly in the corner of the room and match well any black LCD TV.
 Good speaker for the price April 5, 2008

I bought two speakers for Onkyo-TX 805 A/V system.
First, it's kinda wide and big. The sound is very crisp and clear.
But without a subwoofer, Bass sound is a little bit weak.
I don't know when can I find a true speaker that doesn't need a subwoofer.
If I turn off the subwoofer, I can feel the lackness of Bass sound.
But above all, I like the design and the quality of the speaker.
Very Good at Very Good Price April 3, 2008

Purchased sony SSF-6000 speakers because I like value and they had good ratings and were inexpensive. I was not satisfied and returned them for the upgrade to Polk. These Polks sound much better and I am satisfied with the very good sound and now feel that I have the "value" speaker I was looking for. If you truly want that "amazing quality" sound, however, you will have to spend much, much more, but I am not that picky and very happy with the Polks. I'm giving them 5 stars to show they are better than the Sony's which have over a 4 star rating.
Wonderful Sound, Excellent Value January 15, 2008

I purchased my Polk Audio Monitor 60s after auditioning "higher end" (read alot more expensive) floorstanding speaker offerings from KEF iQ series, Klipsch RF and F series, and similarly priced speakers from Wharfedale, the Boston Acoustics Horizon floorstanding speaker, and also Polk Audio's own Monitor 50 and Monitor 70.
To my ears, the Monitor 60s combine the best elements from all of these speakers. They have a wonderfully open, spacious and detailed sound that results in realistic reproduction of instruments, voices and soundstage. I was bothered by the brightness of the KEFs and Boston Acoustics speakers though these speakers may have had slightly better soundstaging capability. I didn't like the sound of the treble from the Klipschs (specifically their tone and their detail/resolution capabilities), though they had better bass extension and great dynamics (slam). I found the Monitor 50's sound too lightweight, and I was surprised that I didn't like the tonal balance of the Monitor 70s - they sounded too dark to my ears.
As other reviewers have noted, the bass is a little too light for home theater use (i.e. to really create floor shaking explosions) but adding a subwoofer (I already had two) removes that problem. On their own, without a subwoofer, I find the bass more than enough for critical music listening. Your mileage may vary, but I have never liked the sound of any subwoofer for music listening (it's too boomy), and the Monitor 60's tonal balance sounds just right for everything from rock, classical, jazz, latin, electro. The bass is very fast and tight and extends deep enough to reproduce nearly all instruments, except deep organ notes and some electronic bass.
So I'm very very happy with the Monitor 60s particularly at their low price!
