For the money this speaker rocks. It is a speaker you have to turn up to truly enjoy. I paid 200 for my monitor 30's and 129 for my Tb20's.
In the future I am going to change my fronts to 60's or 70's. Does anyone know when Polk is going to change their speakers? Maybe I can get a closing out sale.

Home theater,
I've been suggesting (or more like bragging) about Tweeter's recent "Euro" sales since I joined. I got the Monitor 60's (called T-90ebs) for $350/pair, half off. Same goes for my surround T-20ebs, got those for $129/pair and a second pair recently for $80/pair. All NIB from Tweeter, no shipping paid.
Also, they threw in a free PSW10 sub, some promotion they were having) and gave me the full $200 credit for it when I traded up for the Mirage Omni S-12 (MSRP $800, sale price $368). Thing was new in box and cost me $181 out of pocket with trade it.
I'd check Tweeter. Not sure if the deals are still around, but they were doing whatever they could to clear out the Euro/Monitor lineup earlier this year.
Happy Hunting!

How do you like Dallas? What do you think of the tb-90's? How are they for music and movies?

I like the T-90's very much. They sound very good (to me) musically, especially with a decent amp. Just running off my HK635 initially, they sounded good with music and very good for movies. I think there are an awesome deal, even at full-price.
The CSi-3 is nice and sounds good to me, but I probably should've gotten the CS2 to timber match my fronts. Tweeter only carried the RTi Centers (CSi3/5), and I had no idea what I was buying when I was buying all this stuff.
If you are on a budget and aren't a true audiophile, the monitor line seems to give great sound for the money. Could be better, but only if you want to spend 3-4X as much. Get them on sale, then save for a good sub, maybe experiment with some amps, and a solid source.

Dallas is nice, but hot as hell. Loaded up a UHaul with furniture during lunch today and almost died. Where do you live?
Dallas is much better than the other major city I lived in, Detroit :)
