Now Polk audio direct ebay also sold out of cs2 (both cherry and black)

I am glad I grabed before it is gone!!

Now the only option is little expensive cs2 Series II(which is only new egg...

Finally my setup is complete

Got one CS2 cherry from polk direct..

Regular Monitor 60s used to sell for $139 (2 weeks before), and with coupon went to $99 before.

Now current Monitor II series 60, $134. I would expect it could go to $99 soon(with coupon) with in...

Looks like they changed their mind and converted all the 300 cs2 to cs2 Series II and sell at higher price???

Even I asked about it, they mentioned it IS ON ORDER with the vendor. They changed the...

I agree with BWilberg266.

EXACT same monitor with new color scheme!! And now it is 2010 product!!! And hence higher price!!!

So wood veneer vs wood grain finish make any difference in sound quality?

I will not think of upgrading just because of only this difference!!! I doubt the tweeter is any better too (both have...

says, they are same fabric\polymer tweeter. ...

Is fabric and cloth tweeter same? dont know!!!

Looks like newegg converted all the existing cs2 to cs2 series II and sell at higher price!!!

Also I noticed the tweeter is cloth instead of fabric/polymer of the original monitor series.

But the Tsi series have silk tweeter. Dont know what this cloth tweeter make difference.

I dont...

I have noticed in New Egg all the monitors are being replaced by series II line e.g CS2 by CS2 Series II, Monitor 70 by Monitor 70 Series II , all are new 2010 speakers.

But there is no mention...

ETA is now 08/03.. May be it might be last set of inventory. Since they are selling aggressively those replacements..

Dave,

No..

Update on this. I called Newegg, and they said, It is on Order with the vendor, but do not know when it will make it out. As for the last ETA of 07/05 the vendor could not fill it.

It is not still up on website. Lets hope its up on tuesday..

Thanks Mystik and Cnh for your inputs.

I agree it depends on the taste of the individual. I started liking both the M70 and M60. M60 has some midbass. My receiver crossed over 40hz on this M60 and...

Thanks dorokusai.

For the price, we pay for polk audio, it is worth it. To get 20% to 30% improvement we have to pay 6 or 7 times the price of this monitor series.

Thanks Ron and cstmar for your inputs.

I feel polk audio generally requires more break in time, after owning these M70 speakers.

any one?

I had owned av123 Rocket 850 signature series and hence was comparing it with the polk audio. Definitely the SQ for M70 not close to 850s.

Thought if I could upgrade to Rti in the...

Hi,

How much sound quality difference between these Monitor 70 and RTi A series.

Monitor 70 is the top of the line monitor series. The bass on the M70 is awsome I liked it. But tweeter is not...

I am glad I grabbed pair. This deal lasted till 1 PM pacific time. I saved $80!

Monitor 40's should do good and match with 70s.

I researched little on this, Looked into crossover diagram for M70.

The top two terminals connected to ONLY tweeter thru cross over.

the bottom two terminals connected to the remaining four 6.5...

Hi,

I wired my receiver's front A output to the lower two terminals and receiver's front B output to the top two terminals. It sounded odd. Of course I removed the jumper plates.

Then I put...
