What happened to Polk Monitor series?

jediknightguy82

Hi guys,

I wanted to go ahead and get a complete set of Polk Monitor speakers. I've got some floorstanding Monitor 50's, and a CS1. I wanted to get the Monitor 30 surrounds to get everything pitch matched but noticed that Monitor is now an "old" speaker. I remember seeing a bunch on Polk Directo on Ebay abotu 2 months ago but I can't find anything on Ebay or Amazon. Are these phased out? What replaced them, the TSi line?

Yes, TSi replaced the Monitor series. Look for T20e's also, if you want to score some 30's.
Amazon has 40's, if your interested.

The TSi 100 is the same as the old Monitor 30's as well, so that may be another option for you.

I have FXi3's for surrounds with Monitors up front... sounds great and the FXi3's are much nicer on the eye IMO.

Apparently Polk is phasing it out as they're running out and supplies are limited.

Will the Monitor 30 as fronts match a CS3i? I need to retire my in wall RC65i as fronts.

Here is my current setup...
Center: CSi3
Fronts: RC65i
Surrounds: RC65i
Sub: PSW303
Receiver: Sony STRDE995
Room: 15 x 16

They're not voice matched to each other. The CSi3 is a much better speaker than the Monitor 30's. If you're going the bookshelf route, I'd look into a pair of RTi4's or RTi6's for the fronts. The newer RTiA1's or RTiA3's would work as well.

The RTi6's can be had for around 200 bucks a pair now, so they aren't really that expensive.
