Comparing Polk Audio Monitor60 Series II and Polk Audio T50

As expected, both the Polk Audio Monitor 60 Series II and Polk Audio T50 bring the high quality associated with this brand. The company’s motto is to deliver excellent sound at an affordable price, and both of these items represent it indeed. 

One of the main differences between the models is in their drivers. The T50 comes with a tweeter just like the Monitors60, but it has one mid/woofer and two bass radiators, while the Monitors60 has three mid/woofers and no separate driver for bass. This is one of the reasons why the Monitors60 sound more clear and crisp, and are slightly more expensive.

Unsurprisingly, the Monitor 60 Series II has slightly higher ratings online. Users claim that it can perfectly function as a single speaker, providing you with an amazing listening experience even at the lowest frequencies, while the bass of the T50 may be not that abundant because of those passive radiators it uses. So, if you expect rich lower frequencies using the T50, you may want to get a separate active sub.

The Monitors 60 claim to make acoustic music played using this speaker sounds like it’s being played live in the room. As for the other genres, a hardcore music listener might not find them powerful enough. Still, both speakers are a great entry-level option to add to a home entertainment system, whether they are used for movies or music.
