I going out tomorrow to buy some new speakers and I would like to know the difference and which are better speakers - between the m20's, r30's and r300's. If someone could help I would appreciate it.

Thanks

After you listen to each of them, with music you are familar with, let us know.

Cheers,

I am mainly using them for HT. I am replacing a set of monster Cerwin Vega towers that my wife says takes up to much room. I do not expect any of these to be able to replace the power of my old towers. They each had a 15" woofer, 6 midrange drivers and a super tweeter. I listen to all types of music - just not as loud as I use to. I have a Yamaha 125watt per channel 6.1 receiver and center and surrounds are polk. i will also be adding a polk sub.

I guess I'm confused at why you're replacing your Cerwin Vega's? What is it about them that you don't like? The Polk's you're looking at are the lowest in the line speakers that Polk offers.

As for a comparison between the M20, the R30, and the R300, there should be practically no sonic differences: from my understanding, they're only differently cosmetically.

he`s replacing them because the wife say`s they take up too much room...

He also doesn`t need such a large speak , as he doesn`t listen a high volumes much anymore..

Like he stated in post #2
I don`t get what`s so confusing to ya refer dude..!!

What's your budget? maybe you can step up to the RTi line and bypass the R line.

I had a set of R-30's, R-15's and a M series center and they are no where near the same tonally. I also tried out a set of rti's, so here is my take.

The R's are more neutral than any of them.They do not accentuate the highs of lows, kinda flat of a response.

The M's go very bright, accentuating the highs, against the R's and RTi's. Uses a larger different tweeter, but its mid also player brighter.

The RTi's use a very, very good tweeter against either other model, but its mid is similar in tonal characteristics and the R series.

New R lineup with the flipped mid and tweeter?????
