Our take on the Polk Audio Monitor 10 Series 2 Vintage Bookshelf Speakers

The Polk Audio Monitor 10 Series 2 is a vintage two-way bookshelf speaker from the 1980s, sold in pairs. It pairs a 1-inch dome tweeter with a 6.5-inch woofer in a sealed cabinet, and its rear passive radiator gives it deeper bass than most bookshelf speakers of its size. It suits vintage audio collectors and budget stereo listeners who want warm, full sound without a subwoofer. Against modern bookshelf speakers it gives up detail and treble clarity, and its foam surrounds and old capacitors often need servicing.

Questions and answers

Do the Polk Monitor 10 Series 2 speakers need refoaming?
Most used pairs do. The original foam surrounds break down with age, so check them before playing at volume or plan on a refoam kit.
Do I need a subwoofer with these speakers?
Usually not for music. The rear passive radiator gives useful low bass, though a subwoofer still helps for home theater.
What amplifier power do they need?
They are not very efficient, so a solid 50 to 100 watts per channel gets the most from them. Small chip amps can run out of steam.
Are they good for vinyl?
Yes. Their warm, forgiving balance suits records and rock, and they are less bright than many modern bookshelf speakers.
Can I use them as home theater speakers?
They work as front left and right channels, but their size and age make them a better fit for a two-channel music system.
Where is the Polk Audio Monitor 10 Series 2 Vintage Bookshelf Speakers cheapest?
