polk monitor 50/60 or e90

[DonRSD]

are these going on sale anytime soon?

i missed the 50's when they were like 50-60 bucks from frys or newegg(i cant remember)

any timetable as to how often ANY of the speakers go on sale?

i need tower speakers and know the monitor & europeans are the same thing, different name

any help would be appreciated

Supply and demand is what new egg told me. They said that there were no plans for any sales when I e-mailed them.

I paid $300 for a pair of 90e's a couple weeks ago. The only reason the price went up on those is because the 60's were gone and everyone started buying the 90's, it should correct again...Maybe

Hopefully.

Haha, I was in the same boat, except didn't want monitor 50's. I'm still probably gonna get the t90e's though. But sucks to know you missed a great deal. I personally think they are gonna only get more expensive but they don't do any 30 day price guarantees so purchase at your own risk.

When asked if and when the Monitor 60's may become avaliable:

Unfortunately, I am unable to give you any information on the availability of this item because there is no ETA for the item on our website. This kind of information will not be forward to us ahead. We will post this item on our website if or when it becomes available.

I was looking at investing in some T90e towers and am mad that I missed the deal, but I can wait. As it is I can't use it with my current apartment, they were going to be used if I moved into a townhouse. So I have some time to wait for a good deal.

Or maybe all this waiting will let me save for some better speakers, like Boston or B&W.

Well I finally ordered the t90e's and a CS10. Life's too short to wait for this crap. Except I am waiting for the slick Pioneer 1019 coming out in April. That's gonna be the shit. I think.

All you guys who end up waiting around for the T90's and the older monitor series to do down on price are going to miss out on the whole speaker in the end anyway regardless of price. Some might not be aware that Polk discontinued the Monitor and Euro line way back in August for a more sleek and modern looking TSi line. Jump on it. Most people ended up waiting around to get the M70s for a lower price than est.$250 ea. and missed out on the speaker all together. Word for the wise, jump on it and look at it as if you're not paying $300 for just one, you're buying one and getting one free.

When i was at school (hour ago) i noticed that newegg didn't have the 60s in stock anymore so i was pretty concerend about their availibility. I hurried up and got home after class and searched to see what was up. I looked at polks website and looked at their authorized online retailers and NONE OF THEM EXCEPT NEWEGG had either the monitor 50 or 60 speakers in stock. A couple websites even had in big bold red letters "DISCONTINUED." Needless to say i did exaclty what you said and just ordered some polk monitor 50s and monitor 30s. I'm not going to be able to use them in a month, but at least i have them and wont have pay up the butt for them next month, i just wish i woulda jumped on the 60s when i wanted to . Now if i can just get this damn onkyo 606 for $300 i'll be very happy

[mario_capo]

Yea Audiophile that's what I wound up doing. I searched and no one had any monitor 60's or t90e's so I took that as a sign and jumped on em. If newegg is the only game in town and they know it, why would they lower the price anytime soon? So now I can sleep easy knowing my order went through! So what, I didn't get as good a deal as most, at least they are still great speakers for an incredible price.

LOL, I think I've already talked in PM's with most of you, but if anyone's in the Milwaukee, WI area still looking for these please drop me a PM.

As far as "wait" vs. "buy it now"... I say don't wait. These are going fast, and once they're gone, they're gone. They're unfortunately not "high-end" enough to really end up on Audiogon, so you're looking at used from ebay at that point.

If you can find them within a decent price buy them. Just don't spend more than you would on the TSi line since that's the same thing. Otherwise, wait for the TSi line to drop a bit, or consider looking at companies like Energy.

lol.

Either the margin was too little for Polk, or they wanted to compete with shinier speakers, so away went the Monitor line. Too bad since they were a damned good value speaker. Oh, another place to check is the Polk forums since members there will occasionally sell their equipment.

Damn I got mine quick! Probably cus of the fact that I'm in Vegas and it shipped out of California. And those T90e's are even more beautiful in person. Now I have to wait 7 and a half hours before I can go home and hook em up. Ugh. But I have eye candy in the mean time. What's with the dual speaker wire inputs? That might be a noob question. Is it like if you wanna hook up an amp and a receiver? Or like I read somewhere, if you are doing 5.1 on a 7.1 receiver you can hook up the extra 2 speaker outputs to the fronts. Does that actually benefit the power going to the speakers?? That part confuses me.

Your speakers are broke, Send them to me and I will take care of them.

Its meant for bi-wiring.
