4.0 out of 5 stars Grab Them While You Can !, February 27, 2010

These speakers would not have attracted my attention at MSRP. At what appears to be a " closeout Price " of just over $50 each I felt if for nothing else I could use these as a deluxe pair of speakers for my PC, with the use of a decent quality external Stereo Amplifier. The shipping cost added to the bottom line price although even with that these speakers are quite a bargain !

If you are looking to turn your house or room into a Disco or Rock Club these are not going to do that for you. For average use in a smaller to moderate sized room however the Polk Audio M20 speakers can do a very respectable job filling the room with very nice sound at a bargain price !

The mid range is especially good and I found it excellent for listening to Piano compared to other speakers I normally use such as my Eltax M3bookshelf speakers and Eltax floor standing speakers. The high end on the M20 is clear and crisp.

If you like bass however I would suggest using these speakers with an amplifier having a " loudness Contour " or Bass Boost function. I normally listen to music with a 16 DB bass boost and found this was needed to give me the kind of sound I desire for maximum listening pleasure.

AS I planned to use these speakers for listening to music and internet radio programming on the Internet, most media players have an equalizer function which works out perfectly for me.

The build quality of these speakers is quite good. I was so pleased with the overall performance of the Polk M20 both for use on a PC ( with external decent quality amplifier ) as well as for use on my stereo system, I bought a second pair of these a few days after buying the first pair. A Real Bargain at this closeout price !

I also found the PSW111 sub woofer being offered at a drastically reduced price so I bought one of those also but have not yet tried it out.

As this seems to be a clearance price, grab yourself a pair of Polk Audio M20 floor standers while you can still get them. These can also be great for surround sound systems too !

I bought a set about 3years ago. Still look like new, but sound even better now. Like all good speakers, you have to break tham in. I had an apartment so breaking them in I couldn't do. Now, there is a solid thump with lows. Now they are not a subwoofer so don't treat them as so, but you can get good lows out of them. Highs are crisp. When I bought the pair new 3years ago I paid about 4x more then they are now.
