Dynamic, Lifelike Sound

Ideal for Your Music and Entertainment

Monitor XT20 maximizes your enjoyment of music, movies, TV and gaming with the exciting energy of dynamic, lifelike, high-resolution sound featuring effortless bass. Hi-Res Audio Certified, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatible, and in a modern, affordable design, the MXT20 bookshelf loudspeakers fulfill the Polk promise of great sound for all.

Powerful room-filling sound

Hi-Res Audio-Certified Performance

Monitor XT20’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. MXT20 is a perfect speaker set to enjoy high-resolution movies, gaming or the latest high-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 that’s surprising for their size. The MXT20 is no exception. Beefy 6.5” high-efficiency, Dynamically Balanced woofers provide 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.

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 MXT20 to experience new dimensions of 3D sound.

Precision Built

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; critically braced, low-resonance, MDF cabinets isolate the sound of the woofer and tweeter without adding unwanted resonances; and their removable, precision-fit grilles minimize sonic interference.
