    • Solid 6.5" speaker from Polk punches down low
Style: Surround Speakers w/ 6.5" Woofer - Pair ...
It's true - Polk has upped their game the past few years with better tuning of their speakers and the MXT-20 is no different. I was able to get these for a very good price, the build quality is pretty decent as speakers have generally been built better for several years now. Great bass, down to 38Hz although this can become un-refined a bit at higher volume. Very responsive to EQ, the bass can get thick on certain recordings but is not muddy. The tweeter plays a bit on the tame side, these are definitely not bright with my amps. They are rated up to 200 watts so they can get pretty loud The grills are nice, not magnetic but the fabric is a pleasant tweed. The light-colored driver is a magnet for being touched with the grills off. Really good job by Polk, the MXT / Signature Elite / Reserve lines are all impressive and have replaced the previous models considerably. If these boxes can be placed 24"- 30" on stands with on-axis the sound is very focused at moderate/high volume. They are much better than I expected and work better with high power amps like other Polk speakers I've owned. The price varies but are often on sale, hard to find better value for a speaker this good. ... show more

    • A long journey for a loud(er) house
Style: Surround Speakers w/ 6.5" Woofer - Pair ...
So I am not an audiophile. I do like good sounding music though. And I am of the age that I remember simply epic amplifiers, speakers and stereos in just about everybody's houses. In my own house in the 80s and 90s, you could crank the music so loud and it would nearly deafen you, and that's with what my mom had bought at the local electronics store. Fast forward to today and we have nothing of that caliber. The soundbar is the closest thing to a home stereo system. AI assistants pump out OK sounding endless shuffles, vaguely in the direction you are feeling. So I made it my job to change that. I bought a decent turntable, a troubling amount of vinyl and an ... ok all-in-one amp+speaker system. I'm not going to name it, but it was lackluster to say the least. It got me yearning for that literal blast from the past. The boom of bass and that wall of sound. Did I find it in my XT20s? Yeah I did. It rocks. First, these things can get loud, good news there. They have larger woofers, 6.5" and they make noise. No, these aren't 12" subs on the floor like the old days, but on the other hand, they are lighter and look pretty cool. Setting it up? Well, pretty easy to attach speaker wire, but the road to here was long. You need an amp and preamp, turntable, these speakers. But my music sounds good again though; the house thumps. I put on music for the family like the old days. I'm very happy with the purchase. For those audiophiles who don't love just the "feels". I did do a lot of youtube research to find the best bang for the buck. I know there's other good brands out there, but let's just agree that this is one of them too. It's also super easy to find a sale and the are delivered quickly. I love the look and they make nice sounding noise. Easy recommend. ... show more

    • Great with EQ
Style: Surround Speakers w/ 6.5" Woofer - Pair ...
These sound incredible once I figured how to properly set these up and let them have a bit more break-in time. After watching tons of reviews and reading comments, I got sucked into the hype and purchased the XT20’s. When I first set them up, I didn’t like them at all. I felt they sounded congested. I was thinking that there was a possible crossover issue. They were mediocre and pedestrian sounding. I was super disappointed. After a few days of demoing these speakers, I boxed them up and put them in my closet. I recently took them and I figured I would set them up and try again. This time I watched some reviews again more intently. I am an analog listener and don’t use DSP software or any apps to use with my system. I guess I am old school in that regard. It doesn’t mean I don’t follow reviewers that use DSP. After watching a “Joe N Tell,” video about these speakers, he said something in the lines that this speaker is okay out of the box. The purpose of the video was to show that these speakers when using EQ and DSP can sound like a much more expensive speaker which didn’t think of tweaking with initially. I am not against EQ, so after hooking them back into my system and making some adjustments (mainly lowering the treble and the bass a smidge), I couldn’t believe this was the same speaker. The congestion in the upper mid range and treble was gone. This was an entirely different speaker. This is an awesome speaker especially for the price. However, to get the most out of this speaker, you need to manually EQ or use DSP. There are speakers on the market that I’ve tried that don’t need EQ to sound decent so I am knocking it down a star. However, I believe if I equalized those other speakers , they probably wouldn’t sound as good or be as fun to play as the XT20’s. These are a keeper. If you have a system that has the ability to align the sound frequencies, then this is no brainer, buy these. The value ratio is too good. ... show more

    • PC can be improved
Style: Surround Speakers w/ 6.5" Woofer - Pair ...
Review Image by Cameron
Really love these. Very natural sound, not bright like some higher end polk. Using mostly on PC. I downloaded an app from the Microsoft store call FX sound. Boy they really came to life. Before I wasn't super impressed. Went from sounding too flat to lively. Like BW vs color TV. I have experience with equilizers, The fx sound app seems to be doing more than just treble and bass. Best speakers I've ever owned and the fact that I caught them on a good sale. On my Xbox series X, sounds really great, no additional sound processing on my end, not sure why PC was so incredibly flat. But Very happy ... show more

    • Impressive sound as expected from Polk
Style: Surround Speakers w/ 6.5" Woofer - Pair ...
As expected from Polk, these speakers have a very nice sound from bottom to the top. Great for a small to midsize room. I paired them to a class D amp and was surprised how good they sound with a little tweaking of the equalizer.
