Klipsch Reference R-610F Floorstanding Speaker, Black, Pair

Q: Can anyone give me an honest, experience-based opinion on how these compare with the polk monitor 60?. I'm torn between the two.

I know this is a couple of years old do I'm sure the op has made their choice by now but if my answer can help anyone else torn between these 2 speakers here goes. I have owned both. I purchased both pairs brand new from Best Buy because shippers can't seem to get tower speakers to me without damaging them. Anyway I still have the klipsch and sold the Polks. I also tried the Polk M-XT60 & M-XT70s. All 3 pairs of Polk speakers were good but for my particular sound preference the Klipsch outshines them all as well as JBL Studio 570 & 580 which I also tried and sold. I'm a bass head and the klipsch even though are only a single driver, took the win overall. The JBL both had superior tweeters but I'm not a tweeter head, they had 0 bass. All 3 pairs of polks were well rounded but distorted the bass at high volume on a modestly powered amp. The klipsch held their ground and came out on top and I still love them. I do also run subwoofers but not always so I want at least some bass when the subs are off. The polks might be great on lower powered or lower quality amps but of you have more than 50 watts RMS per channel, the klipsch will handle it where the polks distort. I'm sure polks higher tier speakers are a different story but I don't have that kind of money or hearing.

Q: The Auto Audyssey setting the crossover at 40Hz is ok?

No not really. Frequency response of these speakers is 45 Hz to 21,000 kHz. You don’t want the cross over set lower than 45 Hz. Furthermore If you have a subwoofer I would let it handle the bass below 80Hz. Make sure when you run the Audeyssey calibration, if you do have a sub, that you set all speakers to small. Or, if you want the towers to produce some of the very low bass, set everything to small but select LFE + main to get bass mirrored on both towers and sub. Either way, I would not set crossover below 60 Hz.
