Hi Everybody !!!!

I need our help (my english is not good...) I purchased a set of Monitor 50 recently. I'm impressed with de sound at any volumes. Very Clear, crisp and loud. I tested with a Yamaha NS 555, JBL E60 and Infinity Primus. The results:

* Very superior to Yammie's (no comparisson) :D
* Superior to JBL (more clean and more crisp) :D
* Little superior to Infinity (same quality..a bit best Polk) :D

I tested with dance, rock, power metal, ballad, clasical music and R&B.
The winner is Polk. (and looks great) :cool:

My question is, the Monitor 30....is a good set of Surround Speakers (relation price-quality) ??? Or there are other options in other brands ????

Thanks Everybody !!!!!!! :)
My current new system (step by step :D)

    go with the 30's, as they are timbre matched with the 50's -- you won't be disappointed!!!!
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Monitor 30's are great with the Monitor 50's - make sure you get the CS1 (or CV2) and the matching sub - PSW10 or PSW20, though from the forum it seems that you can get any sub and you'll be fine.
