QuestionWill these speakers playback HI-RES audio streaming if my receiver doesn't have Auro 3D capability, but rather only 8 ohms, or is Auro3D required?
Asked 4 years ago by RICKP.
- Answer Auro 3d is not required to play Hi-Res Audio. Auro 3D is a form of surround sound processing.

QuestionWhy the RMS is only 25 watts, is that accurate?
Asked 6 months ago by Escobar.
- Answer Hello Escobar. Yes. As passive speakers do not produce any power (they only handle power), when our speakers are rated at a minimum of 25 watts, it means when partnering these speakers with an amplifier, make sure the amplifier's wattage rating is at least 25 watts. The maximum wattage rating for our speakers (for example 200 watts) is suggesting they don't need to be paired with an amplifier which has a wattage rating of more than 200 watts. In short, the Monitor XT60 is comfortable with amplifiers rated anywhere from 25 watts to 200 watts.

QuestionI am buying a pair of the Polk Audio XT60’s and note that they have the 5-way wire connection. My Sony STR-DE135 receiver has spring activated wire connectors. Will I still be able to connect these speakers to my receiver?
Asked 8 months ago by StuartB.
- Answer Hello. Yes - the XT60s allow for 5 different means of wire connection - giving you a wide range of connectivity options, including bare wire. You get to choose which connector you prefer at the speaker end - we recommend banana plugs for a satisfying combination of performance on convenience. At the Sony receiver end of the speaker wire you can either use 2 mm banana plugs or bare wire.

QuestionCan I run the XT60’s with my Sony STR DE135 receiver at 100 watts/ch. 8ohms impedance?
Asked 8 months ago by StuartB.
- Answer Hello, yes, your Sony STR-DE135 delivers 100 watts per channel, which should be sufficient for the Polk Audio XT60 speakers. The XT60 speakers are compatible with 8-ohm or 4-ohm amplifiers. Regards, Polk Audio

QuestionAre these really only 25watt RMS, or is that a description error?
Asked 1 year ago by Magnum.
- Answer Hi Magnum. In the case of speaker wattage ratings, 25 watts is the recommended minimum amplifier power rating. If you have an amplifier/receiver with at least 25 watts on tap, the Monitor XT60 speakers will be happy. Amplifiers provide the power, speakers handle the power. The more the volume dial is raised, the more power is delivered to the speaker to make it go louder.

Questioncould this be used for karaoke?
Asked 3 years ago by TiVo.
- Answer Yes - if you have the karaoke equipment and an amplifier already, then the Monitor XT60 can be used for such a requirement. Best not to get too close to the speakers with the microphone, otherwise feedback can cause big problems.

Asked 4 years ago by Edwin.
- Answer If you are looking to replace a bookshelf speaker with a floor standing, there will be a difference. You will probably get more bass. The wattage output is comparable. I am looking into the xt15 for rear speakers. Good luck!
