Polk Monitor 30's for rear surrounds

2022 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Smigro,

MY current setup is polk monitor series II speakers. 70s for the front, CS2 center and PSW505 subwoofer. I would like to replace my kenwood htib surround speakers and was wondering if the monitor 30s are my best choice since it includes mounting hardware. I do not have room for speaker stands.


Would I notice a difference moving up to the 30s from my current KS505HT kenwoods.


thanks.

Although not too much info comes from the surrounds, I would think you would def hear an improvement using the 30's. For the price of them on Newegg, if you have the loot you might as well go for it.

More information than many people think comes from the rears.


If you want to gauge the improvement, start with these...

http://www.amazon.com/Curious-Case-B...3172335&sr=1-3 (reason enough, by itself, to buy another pair of 70's for your rear...if you have room)

The beginning of SPR is my show off piece. Now that will put some sound out of your surrounds.
