My New Monitor 5's

[dthomps]

I know, these speakers probably arent enough to get most of you excited, but I am really enjoying them. They are really well built, and I like the look of the faux walnut finish cabinets. IMO they sound great, especially considering they are bookshelf speakers. Nice, clean bass and the sound is overall, much larger and open than what I would have guessed. Peace all.:D

I got really lucky and found a pair in almost perfect shape. The serial numbers are even in order! Well, enough to keep me happy for a while anyhow.
Sorry for the poor image quality, best I can do.

Sorry, still havent quite gotten in down.

dthomps - Hey a Polk fan is a Polk fan :)

I like the older style Polk's. I wish I never sold my Monitor 10b's. I may try and find a set for another room in the house.

Keep jammin'!!! :cool:

Tell the good folks what you are driving them with Mike.

Good on ya bro.

My amp is a Proton av-445, which Russ tells me is actually an alright piece of gear. Who knew?
It will do just fine for now, but soon I hope to get something of my own since this is actually my dads receiver.
I wish I could justify a few more pairs of Vintage Polk's cause I would love a pair of SDA's, but between going hungry, and having my girlfriend pissed again I think I can wait a while :D

Tell your girlfriend that you are buying the speakers to support the economy, and if you don't continue, it will falter and have grave consequences for everyone..... ;)

If she believes that let me know, I would like her to talk to my WIFE! Just kidding...... :p

Hmmm...buying HT gear to support the economy...I just GOTTA convince my fiancee of that one and I'll be a set man. Good thinking! :p

Hehe seems reasonable to me! No but seriously, she will be pissed that I was supporting the economy before I took her out and bought her flowers! Girls girls girls...

I currently have the Monitor 10's series 2 up front for the HT.

Using the Monitor 5's S2 for a 2 channel setup with a Carver CM-1090 driving them, not bad IMO.

The Monitor 10 and 5 S2 are still doing their job after all these years

I see the solution to your problem as 2 flowers....

1 flower for her, one speaker for you.....
