My local store is carrying this model for $130/pair. I could not find any info about this speaker anywhere at Polk's website or internet. How does this speaker compare to RTi4 or M30. I have M40 as fronts, I am looking for matching rear speaker to connect to Sony stereo receiver in A+B configuration.

    The model number is similar to the T90EB, which are the same as the Monitor 60, but with real wood veneer.

    Without seeing it, I would guess they would be the same as the Monitor 30 or 40.

    If you know the size of the drivers, then you would be able to compare them.

    So, I guess they would mathc your Monitor 40's.

    Those model numbers are for European versions that are available here as well.

    Hope this helps.

    BTW, welcome to the forum.

    I belive they're Monitor 30's with a different look, as they are the European versions. They won't be the same as your 40's (obviously because they're a different speaker...) but they are a matching series.

    So how can they sell the Monitor 30s and 60s for so much less? Can't be just because European models? Price difference is huge! Has anyone bought these?

    How do you come up with a giant price difference? Tweeter is blowing out the t20eb's for 130 (link here) and then the monitor 30's sell for around 200 (link here). Now this isn't any real searching... I just googled both models and clicked one of the first links that popped up. Yes, it is a difference but it is probably just because they're trying to flush them out for something different...

    Agree that price differential on T20s is not huge (in $s, it is in %). I was think more about the 90s where the $350 compares to over $575
