Polk Audio 300151-01-00-005 Monitor XT20 High-Resolution Bookshelf Speakers in Black (Pair)
The Polk Audio 300151-01-00-005 Monitor XT20 bookshelf speakers are sold as a pair and combine Hi-Res Audio certification with 6.5-in Dynamic Balance woofers and 1-in Terylene dome tweeters. Designed for use with an external amplifier or AV receiver, they support recommended amplifier power of 30-200 watts per channel and are compatible with 4- and 8-ohm outputs. From high-resolution music to movies and games, the emphasis is on clear treble, distinct voices and instruments, and impactful bass. A matte black finish completes the stand-mount design.
Key Features
Hi-Res Audio With Treble to 40 kHz
A Terylene dome tweeter in each speaker extends high-frequency reproduction to 40 kHz, revealing recording detail with spacious, clear treble. Hi-Res Audio certification supports detailed playback of high-resolution music, movie soundtracks and games.
6.5-in Dynamic Balance Woofers and Bass Extension
Bi-laminate paper woofers bring voices and instruments into focus while delivering impactful bass with low distortion. Overall frequency response spans 38 Hz-40 kHz, with -3 dB limits of 57 Hz-26 kHz. When comparing bass extension, keep that distinction in mind: the overall range and the -3 dB response describe different limits.
30-200 Watts Per Channel and Amplifier Matching
Check your amplifier or AV receiver against the recommended 30-200 watts per channel and compatibility with 4- and 8-ohm outputs. For a closer look at system matching, sensitivity is rated at 87 dB SPL at 2.83 V/1 m, and minimum impedance is 4.3 ohms. The 5-way nickel-plated binding posts provide the direct wired connection between your speakers and amplification.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Receiver Compatibility
Build a two-channel music setup or use the pair with a compatible Dolby Atmos or DTS:X receiver for movies and gaming. Dolby Atmos certification and DTS:X compatibility support integration with those receivers without specialized amplification equipment. Optional height modules are not included in this speaker pair.
Braced MDF Cabinets and Stand-Mount Design
Cabinet bracing helps suppress resonance, limiting the enclosure's unwanted contribution to what you hear. Precision-fit removable grilles reduce acoustic interference while letting you choose covered or exposed drivers. The matte black cabinets are intended for stand-mount bookshelf use and are not wall mountable.
