Polk Audio 45B

Has anyone heard anything about these? I can't seem to find any good reviews online. For nearly 50% discount they are very very tempting. I may just drop the money if enough reviews are good.

From what I can tell, they are very similar to the tsi200 bookshelf speakers, which are highly rated. I have the tsi100 speakers and they sound great. If It were me I'd definitely pick them up.

I have the monitor 40 series 2 which these are replacing in the polk line. I love mine! bought them for $119 for the pair on sale.

These although it is showing 46% off is not really true. I've noticed lately newegg just puts that type of stuff on certain pages to entice you to buy. I'm sure these are great! and well worth $200. but don't buy them simply because it looks like they are on sale, I have a feeling they will only rarely not be sold at this price point on newegg

Thanks for the information. oats2012 brings up a good point about NewEgg's pricing, however on Polks website they are listed at full price. I think that since the monitor series just came out, Polk is putting them on a good sale to entice people to buy them and spread the word on them. I may be very wrong though.

Anyways, I'll probably pick up either these or the monitor 75T's. They are at an enticing price as well and also come with a free subwoofer. Thanks for the help!
