Review: Brilliant set of speakers absolutely! - I have never used Pol audio before, but a fellow musician recommended it and I started reading up. Then I figured in my budget these XT20's were the only ones. I read up and did more study as sadly there isn't a place where I could go and check out multiple speaker brands myself. Thankfully the internet was of much help, saw these are and picked them up. Sounds amazing, a full clarity spectrum even without subs, sounds clean, no audible distortions even at higher volumes though I listen not at a very high volume. The lows are well defined, the mids are juicy and the highs are very well defined. Loving listening to music on these, infact I am listening more and enjoying it so much. Love it! Also yea, greaet packaging from the seller! great stuff, thank you
Review: Awsome - Though in India it is costly due to customs charges. Paired with Marantz PM6007 and having fun. Also bought Auris blueMe for BT streaming. My first audiophile system.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does anyone know why it has 2 sets of wire inlets on each speaker? Normally it's one set black and red....**
A: The 2 sets of speaker 5 way binding posts are for bi-wires or bi amps if you remove the bridges so you can by-pass the speaker cross-over. It's a waste of time and money since you will need an external cross-over.  I wouldn't bother with it at this price point.
They are as good as you can get for the price.

**Q: Does anyone know if i can get new lids for these speakers? one of the lids broke, and i am very ocd about keeping my speakers slick**
A: I blew a tweeter, called Polk, and provided my purchase receipt and answered a few questions and a replacement was in my mailbox free of charge in less than 10 days. Give them a call... You've got nothing to lose.

**Q: how many ohms and watts are they**
A: These are 8 ohms, and they can handle 25 to 150 watts. I love these speakers. A good bargain at $150.  They sound smooth and mellow right out of the box. I would buy them again.

**Q: Q: Are these sold as a pair or the price is for a single speaker? RE: Polk Audio AM4095-A Monitor 40ii sold by Amazon for $144.99**
A: I can't speak for all the other sellers but my listing is for a pair of speakers unless otherwise noted in the description

*by C***O on 24 December 2025*

Klipsch Reference R-50M で音楽全般を楽しんでいましたが、POLKも興味があって本製品購入しました。Klipschと比較して遜色なく、むしろ高音の柔らかさ、音場の広がりといいこの値段とは思えません。Klipschはきりっとした広域が魅力ですが、深みはPOLKが上です。さすがに北米で高評価が理解できます。安いのに一生ものの価値があると思います。
