Polk Monitor XT12 Powered Sub - 12" Dynamic Balanced Woofer & 100W Class A/B Amplifier, Low-Resonance MDF Cabinet & Removable Grille, Dolby Atmos & DTS:X Compatible, Midnight Black

The speakers perform really well and I’m very happy to finally be watching movies in Dolby Atmos. But, I really want to commend Polk’s customer service. I purchased these speakers in Feb of 2025. They worked great until a couple of months later one of them developed a slight hissing sound. So I called Polk customer service and immediately spoke to an advisor. She dismissed the issue as a driver problem and said they would send me a new one. So on Wednesday May 28th I first called Polk and by Monday June 2, had the new driver in my home. It was an easy install and it sounds great. I am a big fan of Polk speakers. Give them a try.

Legit amazing! 10/10 Price was perfect, would 100% buy again! 🥰But warning for people who live in apartments, if you’re not careful someone is definitely going to complain. Unless your goal is to get people upset, then ignore this warning because this will work for that 😂Also if you roll up like a foam soundproofing wall panel, and put it in the rear port (but not like fully blocking off the port though), it will make it a bit punchier. Not that it needs that to be done in anyway, but if you’re having this in a small room then doing that helps in ways that I can’t explain with words.It easily connected to my PC via optical output, which goes to an optical splitter. Then the optical branches off to my soundbar optical input and my GoXLR optical input. Then from the GoXLR I use the 3.5mm line out, converting to over to RCA into the subwoofer. This allows me to get perfect, easy and independent remote volume control of the subwoofer via the GoXLR sliders, while still having a master control on the PC that will adjust both the soundbar and subwoofer at the same time, resulting in perfectly fine tuned sound quality with absolutely no distortion.

Excellent ATMOS speakers for the price. They can be mounted as Upfiring to reflect off of the ceiling; sitting on your towers, or wall mounted facing toward the main sitting area; as front height speakers. If you know what you're doing, these speakers will work for you and your ATMOS. If your ceiling is more than about 9 feet, upfiring speakers don't work well. Bouncing off of a ceiling takes some acoustical physics. But if your ceiling is less than 9 feet (like a basement theater room) then these can be a decent option. I actually use 3 sets of speakers for my atmost. These plus 2 other different brands. ALL 3 sets are up firing, but these polks sit on my towers, the other 2 pairs of speakers are mounted close to the ceiling on an entertainment wall unit. They still reflect off of the ceiling, but they are only inches away from the ceiling. (For those concerned, my receiver only has output for 1 pair of atmos speakers. My other 2 pair are 8 ohm speakers. I put them in parallel to give me 4 ohms; then these polks are 4 ohms so I put them in series with the other two that I've connected, and now I have 8 ohms again). Definitely worth buying if you have low ceiling OR if you're going to mount them at the wall/ceiling and point them down.

Cumple más que bien con su función, no soy muy exigente para el canal central, pero me sorprendió, bastante potente y buena claridad, no se siente con agudos exagerados (dentro de su rango de precio)Y las voces no se sienten flacas a pesar del perfil bajo y sus drivers pequeños.Lo recomendaría ampliamente a alguien que no tenga espacio como es mi caso para un central de mayor tamaño

i had the energy 5.1 speakers. they did ok but i found myself constantly turning on closed-captions for clarity. energy was purchased to comply with a request - someone didn't want to see speakers in the family room. seems sacrilegious but fine.it's been well over a decade now and the lack of clarity was driving me nuts. in my opinion, centers don't have to work that hard especially, if the system includes a powered thumper. course, if you're a 'phile, you're likely throwin' up bout now. know that these comments ain't for you folks, k. i look for strong and clear audio from my center. this xt35, kills it!it's super pricey now but this center is the cat's meow! in fact, i bought it on a goof. i had just replaced the front surrounds with a pair of polks. it's embarrassing but they're behind a drape. same deal though, the energy's were a joke. these surrounds brought additional clarity and volume, i didn't think was possible. still, most of the dialog is channeled to the center. rarely use the captions now.full disclosure, none of these speakers were plucked off the vine. i'm out of pocket like most, if not all here. still, it's a very good buy!

Excellent sounds perfect compact speaker with subroofer. look very clean bellow the tv

Great sounding subwoofer with lots of thundering bass.

A wonderful piece of hardware. It greatly enhanced the quality of sound coming from my vinyl collection and the other Polk bookshelf speakers. The sound is full, mellow, and powerful.
