I would go with larger speakers that DON'T require stands for surrounds (assuming you have the room). I use my 4's as a center channel (below the TV).

It's got to be something where the (+) or (-) inputs come into the board. I had a "no bass" problem after I rebuilt mine and it turned out I had lifted the (+) pad when I was removing parts. Since...

The standoff's are the easy part! You need to decide if you want to remove/desolder the six wires attached to the bottom; otherwise you have to go in from the front and unhook them from the...

Original Owner; pulled from a Monitor 10B dated 1985.
Will accept PayPal and ship UPS 2nd Day Air.

Thanks guys! If you'd like to read more (mostly jazz) CD reviews, just go to the "AV reviews/Music and Movies" section (along the top of the page). You can also do a search on my name; I've done over...

If you're in it for the "audio experience", then avoid anything in wall (or ceiling). If you're looking for convenience (or space), then that's a different story.

The only thing I can add is: don't worry about stands. I have my 10B's sitting on "tip toes" (on carpet) and they sound great. I did the tweeter replacement and crossover upgrade just recently (after...

If you don't want to mess with stands, you can "spike" them for enhanced bass. I've used something called "Tip Toes" for years (on carpet) and they work great (and aren't permanent like spikes).

Not exactly: what you guys are talking about is physically attached to the bottom of the speaker and (sometimes) the floor. These things look like (upside down) pyramids and are used in groups of 3...

The easiest "upgrade" for the Monitor 10's is the RDO-194 tweeter; I did it a few months ago and wished I'd done it a few years ago!

Doesn't anyone use "Tip Toes" anymore? I think they were more for use with carpeted floors, but the general effect was to enhance the bass; some people even used to use a (mini) version of them for...

Now THAT'S funny :razz:

I use a Monitor 4 as a center channel for my Monitor 10's (guess you'd love to have my peerless 4's).

I bought my first pair of Polks (Monitor 4's) in 1981 from a small neighborhood store (where I had previously bought a Hitachi cassette deck) with savings from my summer job; these were my college...

I wish some of you guys had posted the (resistance) value of the polyswitches you removed. I just completed an XO mod on my Monitor 10's and replaced the PS's with a 0.5 Ohm resistor. The resistance...

Not only that, Sonic Craft will custom make certain values. For example, they provided a 34 uF cap for my 10B XO upgrade (so I didn't have to use 2x17). I am VERY happy with the results, and they...

I didn't want to say anything because he was after a good deal on the caps, but I agree. I actually paid (Sonic Craft) a little extra get a 34 uF cap instead of putting 2x17 uF in parallel, and I'm...

Finished the other set (of 2): COMPLETELY different PCB mounted in a COMPLETELY different way. I would say this set was slightly easier to remove/replace, but it still took me an entire day. There...

There's a link at the top of the cap page (looks out of place). They're for the high-voltage caps, which are large. I don't regret getting my SoniCaps.

I think removing/replacing the polyswitch with a .5 Ohm resistor was a pleasant surprise for me on the high end (I just did my 10B's last weekend). I share your feelings about improvement to the...

That's funny: I think you nailed it! I removed a few strands from cable laying around the lab because I wanted some solid wire to replace the polyfuse; once I saw it measured out @ 0.7 Ohm I figured...

...and it was a b*tch (picture attached)! Swapping the parts out wasn't so bad (even thought there's some creativity involved in cramming the huge SoniCaps onto a small board), but...

FWIW, my Sonicaps order not only arrived super-fast (next day), it was well protected/packed. Hoping to do my first pair of XO's (have 4 speakers total to do) Memorial Day weekend.

Where do you get all these specs?! Are they posted on Polk's website somewhere? I'm still amazed that Polk has re-designed/manufactured components for products that were discontinued decades ago (and...
