Polk Audio Monitor XT90 Height Speaker Pair for 3D Sound, Midnight Black

Perfect solution for Atmos speakers up on my front wall.

I'll admit, I questioned whether adding height speakers would really make that much of a difference. After installing the Polk Monitor XT90s on top of my XT70 tower speakers, I quickly realized why so many home theater enthusiasts recommend them. The biggest improvement wasn't that sounds were louder—it was that movies felt more immersive. Rain, aircraft, and ambient effects have a sense of height that wasn't there before. Instead of all the sound coming from around the TV, it feels like it fills the room. Installation was incredibly simple since they're designed to sit directly on top of the compatible Polk XT towers. They look like they belong there, making the setup clean and seamless without needing to mount speakers on the ceiling. Like the rest of the Monitor XT series, the sound is clear and well-balanced. They blend naturally with the rest of my system instead of calling attention to themselves, which is exactly what you want from height speakers. If you're already building a Dolby Atmos setup with Polk Monitor XT speakers, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these. They're one of those upgrades you don't fully appreciate until you hear the difference for yourself. For my home theater, they completed the experience, and I'm really glad I decided to add them.

Great for surround. Have 26 year old or so small speaker in bedroom. Finally got sound in room/

I bought these to sit on top of a pair of Onkyo tower speakers and they fit perfectly. They seem to add some dimension to my surround theater. However, I question the hype about them bouncing sound off the ceiling and doing tricks. I have a Dolby Atmos capable system but maybe not the best room acoustics to take full advantage. But good value for the money.

Great sound with 7.2.polk monitor xt system

You might think the size of these would only be below whispers, well, no! These small square speakers produce amazing sound and enhance sound if paired with the XT70 Polk Towers. Great quality and care put into the build and design; highly recommended if looking for a change or to upgrade your system.

I’ve been using Polk speakers for many years and they are great performing speakers. Sound is crisp with no distortion. They last for years

I am new to atmos so decided to go cheap to check it out. I am quite unimpressed by the feature - not sure if it is the speakers fault. Have tried new High Def Blu Rays of the Lord of the Rings, Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary concert, Harry Potter etc. and can't see any difference in sound except the left and right channels are now too loud. Will try to fix that via Yamaha AVR room customization.

Love the price on open box Polk Xt 90"s deal. Bought 2 pair in case I upgrade to 9 channel amp.... For now they complete my Denon 970 avr / just purchased.Wow...killer reciever... Klipsch reference series 5 speakers...bought in 2006 and still incredible and clean... This upgrade is now a 5.1.2 set up... Polk are the .2 height fronts on my Klipsch Reference towers... Watching The Oilers in 4k on my Samsung QLED 9 Series 65 inch.. ALL my equipment is open box or Display/End of year deals..... WAIT for the discounts and you can save a shit ton!!! POLK has always been a good name for a reason and my little height speakers were 1/4 price of the Klipsch ones... So for what a height speaker provides ....This was a no Brainer . 😊

Great speakers! I first bought the XT20’s and I liked them so much I replaced all my 7.1 speakers with the Polk Monitor range, including these ceiling reflection XT90’s! Crisp and clear, they sound great for Dolby Atmos overhead audio. Highly recommended!

I don't hear anything from this speaker

Los utilizo como altavoces de efectos frontales instalados en la pared y estoy muy satisfecho. Su tamaño contenido facilita mucho la colocación, especialmente cuando no se dispone de demasiado espacio, y el acabado es discreto y correcto. En sonido cumplen muy bien su función: aportan claridad y una buena sensación de amplitud en las pistas Atmos, integrándose perfectamente con el resto del sistema después de la calibración. Evidentemente no pretenden competir con altavoces de pared de gama muy superior, pero tampoco lo necesitan. Por precio, tamaño y prestaciones, me parecen una opción muy equilibrada y recomendable.

Meteen na het aansluiten van deze Atmos spreakers heb ik deze getest met gratis demo Atmos surround filmpjes om een idee van het effect te krijgen. Mijn verwachting was vrij laag omdat heel wat mensen online aangeven dat ze het effect nauwelijks merken. Volgens specialisten heeft dit echter eerder te maken met de eigenschappen van de kamer en de opstelling dan met de speakers op zich. Zowel wanneer ik alleen luister en met 2 andere personen erbij was het effect enorm ! We werden van onze sokken geblazen ! Het werkt dus wel degelijk en dat heeft te maken met het plafond (pleisterwerk) en de afstand naar het plafond, ze staan namelijk op een kast en vrij dicht (50cm) bij het plafond. Heb je bv. een houten plafond en staan ze er verder van af dan zal het effect minder zijn.
