Hello all, this is my first post. I currently have the m50's as my fronts but I am thinking about upgrading. I have found the m70's for a pretty good price and was wondering what everyone thought about that upgrade. Is it worth it or are there other speakers that would be a better upgrade option? I also have m40's for rears, cs2, dsw pro 600, and denon avr-888 receiver. Any opinions would be appreciated.

    welcome to Club Polk.

    Polk speakers are excellent and Customer Service is by far one of the best.

    i have both speakers and love each. now to answer the dilemma, you should give more info. how big is the room, do you have a good sub, how much power do you have...... i love the 70's for all they deliver, but can still listen to my 50's and wonder how they can sound so good for a " budget " speaker

    The room is about 15x12 with only 2 solid walls, the sub is the dsw-pro 600 by polk and the amp puts out 100 wpc.

    I would not hesitate to recommend the 70's. I have had them for almost a year and am still amazed by how great they sound. For the prices they can be had for these days, they are had to beat IMHO. Welcome to Club Polk.

    considering the fact you get the 70's for $30 more than what the 50's used to go for its a no brainer

    Well I decided to upgrade. After I sell my m50's hopefully I will have less than $200 into the new speakers. Thanks for the advice.
