Have you ever wondered how Polk's budget bookshelf speaker is built? In this video I tear down a pair of Polk Monitor XT20 bookshelf speakers and go over the T/S parameters of the drivers, construction quality of the cabinet, and then take a look at the crossover components. At $300 a pair, these are a pretty decent set of speakers for the money.
