Hi Andrew. Please tell me what integrated you would pair with polk L800. thank you.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the Signature Elite series from Polk that sits in between the XT and the Reserves. If the XTs are 50-60% of the R700, I'm wondering if the ES60 get you closer to that 80-90% at a much more accessible price.
These or the c97 II
12:26 "they distort like a mother"... We didn't have the same kind of mother I guess 😄.. Joke aside, thank you so much for your clips, and Kristi adds a lot to them.. they're gold! That said, I'd like to see Kristi when she talks instead of your face ;-)
How can you not love Kristi? She gets right to the point keeping Andrew on target. Her final thoughts on her Grandmother was extraordinary. Brought a tear to my eye.
❤
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Peace and blessings.
I lost my Granny at 96 almost 15 years ago. And I think about her everyday. My grandparents hung the moon as far as I am concerned. And you will get to the point where all you will do is smile when you think of her. All the best!
Sorry for your loss - wow, 94! I lost my mother at 74. It doesn't make loss any easier but at least you enjoyed her company for as long as possible. Sometimes it's easier to focus on the positives and her life and time you spent with her and the time she had to watch you grow and become the person you are today.
So glad to have you back here, Kristi. And please, take your time off, whenever you are feeling that you need it. And I am quite confident, that your grandmother is, not was, proud of you.
❤
Just finished watching the full video and heard Kristi speak about her grandmother. We so often forget that online personalities are people too and have real lives outside UA-cam. Sorry for your loss Kristi! 94 years, she was obviously a legend.
Kristi says thank you for the kind words and for recognizing our humanity.
So sorry about your grandmother I want to give you my condolences to you and Andrew. Thank you guys for all you do. We love and send our prayers to you.
Damnit!! She got me at the end... And now I am crying. You guys are fantastic, and we love you guys!!
Kristi sorry for you loss! Some of my fondest memories as a child come from spending summers with my grandparents. They were some of then nicest people in my life with a pure and wholesome impact/influence on my childhood. I baked with my grandma played golf with my grandpa. Learned card games they had social parties and church on sundays. The kindness and loss was pure genuine and perhaps some of the "realest" moments of my life. They were of a much different era and were just different types of people my parents or people of the current generation. There is something I miss so dearly of them and I could imagine perhaps you have similar memories with yours.
Sorry for your loss Kristi & Andrew🙏❤️ your strength to continue what you do is a testament to the genuinely good hearted souls you both are.
Sorry to hear of your loss. 10 years ago I lost my grandmother suddenly. Hardest pill to swallow when it happens. ❤️
It's always a good reminder to pay tribute to the ones we love and to not waste time to love them while we are with them. My 91 year old friend is calling me everyday perhaps because he feels he'll join his wife soon so it's all good if he needs to call me everyday once or twice a day, life is that precious.
As for the review thanks for reminding me that I'll probably never be able to downsize my loudspeakers, I can't use a sub in this old house or maybe it would help keep the mice away. Hope you'll get the klh model 7's this year! Blessings.
Kristi hit the nail right on the head! Getting off the hamster wheel. "Sometimes knowing you can maybe stop the chase is a really good thing." That really resonates with me!
Love you guys, thank you for still taking the time to leave reviews at all given what you all are dealing with ❤.
Kristi, my sincere condolences. Wow I am really sorry for your loss. I have been without my mom and pop for 30 years for my Dad, and 10 for Mom. I hope that your memories of her will be a comfort to you always.
Lost my dad recently so totally understand what you are going through, much love!
Sorry for your loss. The last moments caught me off-guard and I got emotional too (not easy for me to do). I just want to share that with you. I watch almost all your videos and the banter between you two are the best part of the videos! And I get a lot of good laughs. You two have brought professionalism in both quality of reviews and video production and deserve much credit.
💜 Kristi & Andrew - Strong together - RIP Granma 💐
Kristi, thank you for your thoughts. So sorry for your loss. I love both of you for sharing you passion with us. You guys are my comfort channel. My mind is calmed when I listen.
This channel has just gone through the roof as a channel that speaks to humankind who appreciate one another with compassion and love, and offcourse knowledge.
🙏
Really sorry for your loss, the end of the review was so touching. I lost my mother so everything Kristi said resonated with me.
My heartfelt condolences Kristi. You are 💯 correct in saying you dont know how much time you have with that special someone. XO
Kristi,
Please take the time to appreciate the wonderful relationship and memories you all shared together with a remarkable women in your grandma. She was blessed with a relatively long life and although it is never enough time, at least you were able to share recent time and memories to cherish over a lifetime.
Hopefully you have inherited your gran's longevity, so that we all will have a longtime with you on this earth! Thoughts are with you and Andrew! Get well and feel better soon!
T
I also lost my grandma this year at the age of 95. So I feel your loss and can understand. Thank you for sharing with your community! Here Here to all the great grandmas out there that always makes us smile!
I was really touched by Kristi's words. It was thoughtful and brave that you guys included that, and it was something that I needed to hear. It proves to me that we can be a community. Thanks!
Kristi - just lost my Dad last month. Sending hugs. Feel what you need to feel. One of the last things we did together was setting up my Polk T50s T30 and T15s with a Sub. Sounds amazing. Glad he got to hear it. Take care y’all. Much love.
Kristi, sorry for your loss, and all the condolences from the Arendal Sound Team. All the best, Jan Ove Lassesen
Condolences and positive vibes for you Kristi. I absolutely adore the videos yourself and Andrew produce. Thank you for sharing part of your personal life in this public forum. This specific review was well-presented because of the contrast to other towers; in addition to both your takes about how they compare to the premium Polk model. Greetings from Manitoba, Canada! ~Lee
I’ve been reading fantastic reviews over the years for the Polk T50 tower speakers. I own vintage polks. The Polk monitor 5 and 4a built like battleships during the heyday of Polk when Matt Polk ran the company and everything was made in Baltimore USA!!!!!
I'm sorry to hear about your grandma, deepest condolences to you and your family
Also I hope you get to review the Audio Pro A48 soon
We all lov you kristi. Stay strong through the hard times. Thank you both for all the hard work you do
Thank you for all your time and efforts. Thank you for sharing life with us. Loss is very personal. The heart only knows the value of others. Prayers, and just know there are others who have been there. May the comfort that we had, go out to you both. Much love and respect.
My condolences on your loss. I kow how hard it is to imagine your life without someone so important. But there will come a time when memories will become reason for smiles rather than tears. Take care.
So sad about your loss. Prayers and hugs 🙏🤗 really enjoy your videos and perspective on all things audio !
Kristi, I always look forward to your segment of a review and it was great to hear you on. You are right in that a loss is a loss regardless of age. The beauty of the mind is that while we may not be able to time travel, we can recall and live in those moments through memory. Smells always get me and then I can literally hear those moments in time and visualize them in my head. We can also pay forward the greatest attributes of those people. Thanks for being open hearted to all of us here.
Time traveling is a pretty good way to put it.
Nice! Glad Polk is making entry level priced speakers that sound great.
Another great review, thank you both ... Sorry to hear about your loss Kristi, my sincere condolences.
Thanks for the advice Kristi and so sorry for your loss and sadness. Love from Ireland.
Kristi, thanks so much for sharing. I’m so glad you had that time with such a monumentally important person. Pretty sure this is the first speaker review that made me cry. Thanks to you both for sharing your humanity with us all.
And great review, as always!
❤
I loved this review and love you both!! I bought the polk r 700"s. based on your review of them and LOVE them, so also decided to buy the polk xt 7"s for a second system
and i must say for the price, WOW!!!!! these xt 70s are amazing , not as good as the 700S, but a close close second and for the price you cant go wrong. love love my polks!!! thanks again for all you do !! so sorry about the loss of your grand mother , I know you will see her again, and i know she watches over you still everyday.
Thank you for the review guys. Sending condolences and wishes for peace, Kristi. It's always difficult to lose our loved ones at any age. I lost my Dad (81) in August and grief is always a day to day journey. Be there for each other.
Great review. I always appreciate the more budget friendly options. Props to Kristi for displaying strength and emotion during the video.
I have been referring to your videos from time to time for about a year now. Dummy me, I am just joining this channel. I absolutely enjoy you guys reviews and perspectives. Very well balanced. Keep up the good work, and thank you.
Sorry for your loss. Keep your head up and keep on listening. Music can heal the soul.
Kristi I totally agree with you, in life is when we have the opportunity to share and live with the important people in our lives. Thanks for reminding me. We give you our support and prayers. May God bless you and continue to share your audience with us.
❤
I think there might be more "fun factor" involved in finding a really good, low cost speaker, than there is with something more expensive that you know will sound good - and expect to sound good because of the price. I had a set of the little T50 polk floor standers for a long time and absolutely LOVED them because I didn't pay very much for them and they greatly exceeded my expectations, the low cost and great sound (relatively speaking, of course) that I heard from them just put a smile on my face every time! I LOVE reviews like these where you find the little inexpensive 'gems' out there. So much fun. Also, what a great community of people we have here, always impressed - whether it's a fund raiser for a relief effort, or simply expressing condolences and love to one of our cherished members. Great community! Kristi (and Andrew), we love you! Also, thanks to Kristi for getting right to the point of the XTs vs the R700s, lol! You know us all too well! Thanks for all you both do!
My sincere condolences. Always look forward to Andrew and Kristi's approval for audio systems. Keep up the good work. Thank you!
Kristi thank you for being part of the show. Kudos to you and Andrew. 🌻
That's what's up Kristi (and Andrew too)..we with ya all the way!! I know first hand to have a grandma who is pivotal in your life and you gotta take time out to grieve, give thanks and respects to their life and what they put into you unselfishly. That's effin real talk! Yall be good today!
Hands down absolutely the BEST review channel 👏. I like most of you reading this watch all the " review " channels and I personally always come back to Andrew to make my final decision with my hard earned money ... keep up the genuine informative videos ,, thank you guys
Thoughts go out to Kristi. Great to hear you back and so good to hear your message at the end.
So sorry for your loss Kristy,
Thank you for being back on the channel. You were missed on Sunday. Great review Andrew. The Cinema 50 looks so nice. Look forward to your review on it. I do remember you said it be a slam dunk if Marantz receivers adopted the look of the model 40. Sound United granted your wish. 🎉
Finally catching up on some of your videos. It’s great to hear that the R700 is holding its own. Still in love with mine and still itching to get emotiva amps but haven’t pulled the trigger. No surprise that these Polk siblings are excellent speakers in their own right.
Wow Kristi -- you made me cry. Your comments are always appreciated. Still, the fact that you shared your thoughts on your grandmother, is tough but still all of us who care about our family understand your feelings. My best to all of you. 🙏
Love what Kristi brings to the channel, lost my mom and dad in one month , then my girlfriend a month later. I get the pain. Prayers for you and your family.
I just received these a day before you posted this as part of the Monitor XT Dolby Atmos Starter System. Haven't even set them up yet, but I'm more excited seeing your positive review. Keep up the good work!
Great review! I’m starting to think about upgrading my current towers (and likely centre), so I’m really appreciating these reviews! I’ve been out of the HT game for a while so I have no idea what would be an “upgrade” from my current setup versus an ACTUAL UPgrade. So many rabbit holes…
Also, my condolences to you both on the loss of Kristi’s grandmother. Saying goodbye is hard no matter what the age. ❤
Sorry for your loss Kristi, you were blessed to have her in your life till recently (as I was with mine).
Kristi, my sincere condolences. Never ever easy when a loved one passes away and thank you for partaking in today's review. Andrew... What can I say dude. You're like d.j. Khalid with your reviews.... And Another One ! 👍🏼
Brilliant video as always! Thank you very much Sir! Keep up the good work!
It seems the engineers at polk and sound united are doing a phenomenal job designing speakers at all budgets.
Don’t even know why I watch this, I like “hifi” but just love your opinion, totally down to earth and great partnership with your wife. God bless
So good to hear you Kristi! ❤
I watch your videos without being on the market for speakers, just because I love your video editing and your and Kristi's narration
I upgraded my front three to the Polk XT lineup last summer. I got the XT70s and the XT30 center. They sound pretty good to me, especially if you put a little power to them. I have a 5.1.4 system and these are being powered by an Emotiva amp while the receiver powers the height channels.
Sorry for your loss.
I've had an extremely rough year and my pound hounds helped me more than I can express.
I hope you are finding consolation with your pooch, too.
Here's hoping the last few months of the year are much improved. Always good to see you here.
I've had these for about 6 months, got them for 135 each on sale! Can't beat something like that for that price. They're in a large room (4 thousand cubic ft.) And perform great! Obv subwoofer needed but they do have an insane amount of bass for the size. To compare, I had the sscs5 up front and they're very comparable in terms of sound quality. They don't have the magic highs that those provided but are a well balanced unit which is all I really needed.
We love you, Kristi! I miss my grandmother, too. She was probably my favorite person in my family.
My condolences for you and your family, Kristi you are her living legacy. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
🙏
Love yaw , love hearing you guys open up and also the reviews are 10/10 .
Much appreciated!
I've been a Polk fan for a while and have had a pair of Monitor 70's for about 12 years and my friends with newer Klipsch speaker always marvel at how good they sound. Matched with a Good Amplifier with at least 150W per Channel, they come alive and punch above their price class.
That’s a great point about towers not needing stands compared to bookshelf speakers.
Bought Polk S60s a couple of years ago and they are awesome
I started out with Polk's and even though my primary speakers are Revel Concerta II F36/F25, I still love me some Polk Audio.
Another well done review Andrew and Kristi.
And of course my condolences to you and your family. Take care and be safe.
Andrew Robinson I followed your advise and bought the XT60 and got rid of my Sony towers and man the difference is insane. Thank you!
Hi, wich sony towers you use to have?
I paired the XT60 with Klipsch R50M (on nearby library shelf). My Yamaha receiver is pushing 200 watts and my Onkyo CD 6-CD changer are in a well-vented rack enclosure. This is my "audio test bed" for my recording studio output. It offers me great mid-range performance sans sub-woofer to approximate car audio listening with factory equipment. It also makes a pretty good reference system to check audio mixes. In all, I put under 1.5k into this test bed setup, but I enjoy listening to all sorts of music on this system. Can't beat the price.
Just found your channel. Love every bit of it! I'll be buying the R700 and a better center. Kristi, you are a treat :)
All the best guys. Thank you.
Perfectly said in my experience Kristi. You are never ready. It always hurts. Deepest condolences for your loss. ❤
I"m deeply sorry for your loss Kristi, you are lucky you had a grandma that you remember and loved and loved you back... Keep that in mind with a smile!!
What can i say about the review, you guys complete each other as always, though i own a pair of Klipsch 8000F and i'm expecting a review for the 8000F mark 2 somewhere in time :)
Around last Spring I picked up the Polk XT70’s to replace my 20 year old Polk R40’s. They sound way better. I picked up the whole XT line and it’s been great. The XT20’s, XT30, and XT90’s. Kept my older sub though. Lastly, sorry about your grandmother Kristi. We all love you both! Take care.
Had Polk R12Bs in the 80s.Fantastic speakers!
Great review as always. Thank you Andrew.
Miss Kristi, you have my deepest sympathies. I hope you and your family find peace.
Hello, your content production quality is outstanding, I love the visuals and the atmosphere, it's mesmerizing. This is me for the 1st time researching and looking into the speakers, and my intuitive judgment says I don't need to look any further to help me make my purchase choice. I am going for the POLK AUDIO Monitor XT70. This is 1st time I am shopping for new speakers.
Kristi, your grandma is waiting for you on the other side.
Kristi 💪. My heart goes out to you and your family. Damn , you made me shed a tear. As always, prayers are up for you because both you and Andrew are just awesome people.
aahhh Khristie we love you take it easy! and we'll do that. Your guys are a force, keep at it!💌
Great review as usual🙂
Yay! Any plans to do the new Emotiva T3+ towers? Very sorry about your grandmother, I lost mine last year at age 97 after about 5 years of dementia. She stood up for me when I was a kid when no one else would. I know how hard it is.
That was beautiful thing to hear... Sending love 💙
All I can say is Kristi it was great to hear your voice. You had this 40 year old man in 😢. This community loves you dearly and you both know where I stand with the both of you! Great review as always 👏🏽 Andrew thank you again that ending is always appreciated 😉!
Your kindness means so much to both of us.
Besides the awesome review, like you guys always do, I do not know how Andrew kept his cool during Kristi's thank you speech. I couldn't, Im tearing up right now. I have lost both of my Nanas too, so I know the pain.
Thank you Kristi ❤️🤘🏽
just got a brand new pair on sale for 240$!! cant wait to hear how they sound!!
Thanks! Love your channel. Im currently researching an AV system for my new Sony A80L as well as...contemplating getting into vintage HiFi just...because! Your video of the Pioneer SX780 ...I thought, was very thought provoking. Ive learned quite a bit and will continue to tune in (pun intended, lol)
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment and support! We hope to see you on the next video!
I love these types of videos
Wow! Super natural! Really did not expect that. Can you hear any difference with or without grill? I believe I do with my bookshelves speakers.
Love your channel, love the detail and time you take to walk through your reviews! I appreciate your attention to detail. Question, What receiver would you recommend to push the Polk's or the JBL's for that matter to their absolute limits? Most receivers I am looking at only offer 70-90 watts per channel give or take. Would a two channel crown amplifier be a good fit for a loud two way set up?
Sorry about you loss we share your pain god bless her soul.
I just LOVE a good budget tower!!!! Well done. I remember the Andrew Jones Sony towers that were really nice as well. I will have to check these out. THX!! 😍😍
Please do!
