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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from For a surround sound, very good. I am very impressed with the sound, they have complimented my surround sound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Thoughts on XT20 pair… Replaced a pair of t15’s with the xt20. Didn’t realize how much more I was getting with these, but the addition of these rounded out the sound quality I was missing with the t15’s as front left and right surround.

Hi Polk, what is the best 3 recommended amplifiers to pair with these speakers? If you could tell me your top choice

Asked by: mOBmUSIC
For 2-channel playback, consider the Denon PMA-600NE or the Denon DRA-800H. And for Home theater, consider the Denon AVR-S570BT, AVR-S660H, or AVR-S760H receivers.

What impedence is a polk audio monitor XT-20? My stereo requires 8 ohms. The owners manual lists them at 4 ohms. your website claims they can do both. How?

Asked by: jorlandi
Hello, The XT20 speakers can work with amplifiers rated at 4 ohms or 8 ohms. Impedance is variable depending on source content - which is why impedance ratings are typically an average reading.
Answered by: Polk Audio
Date published: 2023-01-19

Hello, thanks. That means if the receiver (ONKYO HT-R 390) has impedance between 6-16 ohm and these speaker 4 ohm (Polk Monitor XT20), there will be no impedance problem between the speakers an receiver?

Asked by: TibRancs
According to specifications, your Onkyo HT-R390 may not be equipped to bring out the very best in the Monitor XT20 speakers all the time, but it will allow them to deliver if the room isn't large (these speakers are designed for smaller rooms) and you aren't trying to harm your ear drums.
