Amazon.com Product Description

Polk's 100-watt Monitor 30 bookshelf loudspeaker offers high performance for music and home theater fans at an affordable price without sacrificing quality. Easily driven by a modestly-powered amplifier or receiver, the Monitor 30's highly efficient design provides open, spacious, and clear sound and is voice matched for lifelike surround sound environments. The speaker has a non-resonant all-MDF enclosure construction with .75-inch thick baffles and front-to-back and side-to-side internal bracing, ensuring cleaner, more lifelike sound. Its stylish looks complement today's LCD and Plasma TVs, with wood grain finishes and modern titanium faces.

For clear and detailed high frequency response and realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments, the 30 uses a 1-inch silk/polymer composite Dynamic Balance dome tweeter with powerful neodymium magnets. High efficiency, excellent bass is courtesy of a single, 5.25-inch bi-laminate composite Dynamic Balance drivers that is lightweight and stiff with good damping for lower distortion. Dynamic Balance technology produces flat frequency response, sharp detail, transparency and an ability to play program material with wide dynamic range at life-like volume levels without a hint of strain. The sound is always clean, clear, and effortless.

The Monitor 30 features a critically tuned flared port that minimizes port noise for good low frequency extension with low distortion, resulting in natural, full-bodied sound with rich bass. The multiple small-diameter driver design also helps deliver the 30's wide dispersion, solid mid-range, and more detailed bass response for an open, "box-less," three-dimensional sound.

Mylar bypass capacitors are used in the crossovers, which extends high frequency response and further improves detail and transparency. Dual, five-way binding post connectors allow for secure hook-ups, as well as bi-wiring and bi-amping flexibility for more advanced set ups. Plus, the speaker is magnetically shielded for safe placement on or near TVs and video monitors with no risk of distortion.
