## Description

Enjoy high-resolution audio with these Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatible bookshelf speakers featuring a Terylene dome tweeter and 6.5" woofer for clean, powerful sound.

Review: Superb sound, no sub required, combined with a class D or above amp - I Purchased and tested the Audio Bronze 100, Elac Debut 5.2, Jamo 803 and the Polk Xt 20's As it happens I ended up keeping the Jamo's, but only due to the fact they suited the room design better, the Polks where simply superb, neither the Polk, Jamo, or Audio Bronze needed a sub for normal listening, TV speakers or PC with desertcart HD music, The Polks price is staggeringly good value for money
Review: Fantastic speakers at £249 - Sound amazing for budget speakers, the tweeter has a 3d holographic effect and the bass driver goes much lower than competitors at this price, 38hz. Just sound fab. Much better than the pair of Wharfedale 11.2 they replaced.

## Features

- HI-RES AUDIO CERTIFIED: Monitor XT20’s new Terylene Dome tweeter makes them perfect for enjoying high-resolution audio from Apple Music, Tidal, desertcart Music HD, Qobuz, and Spotify HiFi.
- CLEAN, TIGHT, EFFORTLESS BASS: MXT20’s Dynamically Balanced 6.5” woofer plays loud and low, delivering Polk’s famously smooth mid-range and powerful, effortless bass.
- 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. Add the MXT90 Height Speaker (available separately) to add new dimensions to your surround sound environment.
- FLEXIBLE PLACEMENT: Use MXT20 as your front, surround, or rear speakers on shelves or stands. Their midnight black finish and modern design will make a bold statement in any room.
- HIGH PERFORMANCE: The MXT20 can be paired with louder amplifiers and can produce deeper bass (a full half octave lower) than the compact MXT15.
