Anyone have any input on the Polk Monitor45B's?

Options
I recently purchased a set of Pioneer Sp-Bs22-LR and I am thinking of returning them for a set of Polk Monitor 45B's. The reason for this is I'm thinking of Bi Amping the speakers if they give better sound.

    Biamping will do nothing. What don't you like about the Pioneers?

    First, you would have to know what bi-amping is and is not.

    I've owned the BS-22s and they are good sounding speakers ;). What kind of sound are you looking for? "Better" sound is IMO subjective. If you prefer a more foward agressive sound, then I agree with DSkip and go for the T50s (if you can fit floorstanders). Bi-Amping might bring a "better" sound if it's true bi-amping..from seperate amps not an AVR ;).

    My Setup: Denon AVR X3600h, Polk Signature S50 Fronts w/ S30 Center and S15 Rears, LG UBK90 4K Player, TCL 6-Series 65”4k TV

    I'm curious as to what you're planning to use to bi-amp the speakers? BTW, the 45B are not bi-ampable. They only have one set of input jacks.
