Vintage Polk 10 b....2nd system, vinyl based...


Never owned a Polk product...but I am assemblying a budget, vinyl based sytem...would these fit the bill? Are they overly warm speakers with flabby bass or just the oppostie?

30 some years ago, I had a pair of Polk Monitor 10 driven by a Harmon Kardon 60 watt integrated. They needed more power to rock out, but 60 watts was good for moderate listening levels. I'm sure they'd sing with 200 watts. They were nice sounding speakers, but not remarkable in my opinion. The bass was a little shy, and imaging seemed somewhat boxy and two dimensional. A much more impressive speaker IMO from the same era was the Dahlquist DQ-10. Mate them with a good amp and I promise you'll have a grin on your face. They sound incredible. I see lots of them selling for $150-500.
