The newly reborn Monitor Series is classic Polk: a quality-built, affordable line of high performance loudspeakers  for music and home theater. They are highly efficient, so they can be driven easily by unpretentious receivers, and they are voice matched for lifelike surround sound environments. The Monitor Series boasts a stylish look that complements today’s flat screen technology, with wood grain finishes and modern Titanium faces, and beefy stabilizer feet on the tower models. Built for speed, sound quality and value, the Monitor Series is a great introduction to high performance sound.
The Monitor 70 features:
High efficiency design allows the Monitor Series to reveal the classic Polk Audio sound (open, spacious and clear) even when driven by modestly-powered amplifiers and receivers.
1-inch (25mm) Fabric/Polymer Composite Dynamic Balance Dome Tweeter with powerful Neodymium magnet structure delivers clear and detailed high frequency response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments.
6 1/2-inch Bi-Laminate Composite Dynamic Balance Drivers are lightweight and stiff with good damping for high efficiency, excellent bass and lower distortion. 
Multiple small-diameter driver design delivers wide dispersion, better mid-range, and more detailed bass response for an open, “box-less,” three-dimensional sound.
Cascade Tapered Array (2-1/2-way) design. Both drivers play bass frequencies but only one driver (the upper one) plays upper-midrange frequencies. This method provides maximum bass output along with precise imaging and detailed midrange response.
Non-resonant all-MDF enclosure construction with ¾"-thick baffles and front–to-back and side-to-side internal bracing ensures cleaner, clearer, more lifelike sound quality.
Crossovers use Mylar bypass capacitors for more detailed high frequencies.
Dual Five-Way Binding Post Connectors, allowing for more secure hook-up options, as well as bi-wiring and bi-amping flexibility.
Monitor Series speakers are “modern living accessories” that make a stylish statement in either Black or Cherry wood grain finish, with Titanium faces.
Magnetically shielded for safe placement on or near TVs and video monitors with no risk of video distortion.
Bold, fat stabilizer feet that ensure stability on carpet or hard floors for more precise bass response and superior imaging.
Slim tower design has a footprint of less than one square foot.
Critically Tuned Flared Port minimizes port noise (“chuffing”) for good low frequency extension with low distortion, resulting in natural, full-bodied sound with rich bass.
