High resolution sound, effortless bass

Certified Hi-Res Audio Performance

Monitor XT60’s Terylene dome tweeters enable playback beyond the range of human hearing—up to 40kHz—ensuring an airy, clear, high-end energy and spaciousness that you’ll not only hear but feel. MXT60 is perfect for enjoying high resolution movies, gaming or the latest hi-res streaming services like Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music HD and Qobuz.

Surprisingly Effortless Bass

Polk has always been known for speakers that produce effortless bass, the MXT60 is no exception. A beefy 6.5” high-efficiency, Dynamically Balanced woofer enhanced by dual 6.5” passive resonators provides a clean, open mid-range and punchy, responsive bass, with low distortion—making voices and instruments clearly heard and movie soundtracks and music filled with impact.

Built for Pure Listening

All Monitor XT models are made for the enjoyment of pure sound: Their nickel-plated binding posts guarantee a direct, lossless connection; low-resonance, critically braced, MDF cabinets isolate the sound of the woofer and tweeter without adding unwanted resonances; and their removable, precision-fit grilles minimize sonic interference.

An Immersive Experience

Dolby Atmos Certified & DTS:X Compatible

Compatible with the latest Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound enabled AV receivers and 4- & 8-ohm amplifiers, Monitor XT does not require specialized equipment to deliver great sound. Combine the MXT90 height module with the MXT60 to experience new dimensions of 3D sound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Doogie from Satisfied Customer Replaced vintage Altec Lansing Model 8 and was concerned relative to match of the excellent sound quality of the Altec's...however the Polk XT60 speakers deliver superb sound iwith crisp bass and pleasing treble at favorable cost.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Victor S from Great buy for tv room or most home theatres So much punch for their size. I moved some speakers around so these were replacing our S60s. I am so impressed with the full sound and bass that these speakers offer. After running tests with the: 4K blu ray player, Roku, Amazon firestick and tv streaming, I am still just as impressed with the high quality sound at any volume level or amp setting. Audiophiliacs will be more than impressed.

Questions

What's the difference between the T50 and the XT 60. I have a vintage set of S10's for my front left and right speakers but they are getting tired. Have Polk Center Channel, Atmos, and Sub. Mostly watch movies. Denon AVR X1700H receiver.

Asked by: George from CT

Hello George, The XT series is considered in a higher tier compared to the T series. This is main due in the technology used in the drivers and crossovers as well as the internal bracing within the XT series being better than the T series. If you are looking to upgrade your system to something that will continue to provide you a great sound experience, then we would likely recommend the XT over the T series.

Why you don t specify the exact specs of the speakers? Just being compatible with 4 and 8 ohm outputs is simply not enough info. How many rms in 8ohm ? What is the nominal impedance that works best?

Asked by: ieronymous

Hello, Because speakers do not produce wattage themselves, the wattage rating for a loudspeaker is typically the manufacturer's recommendation of amplifier wattage recommended for use with the speaker. The XT60 has a sensitivity rating of 86dB. This means it will only demand about 25 watts from an amplifier/receiver to reach volume levels which can harm your ears in regular domestic environment. It is recommended to use 25-200 watt amplification with the XT60s, and to keep the SPL levels below 96dB to avoid damaging your hearing. Impedance constantly fluctuates according to source content. If you have amplification which can support 8 ohms, you are okay. The same can be said for amplification which supports 6 ohms, as well as amplification which supports 4 ohms. The XT60 is an impressively versatile loudspeaker.
