In Reply to: RE: Polk Monitor 7B (early) advice needed posted by Bold Eagle on October 26, 2010 at 18:15:26
My Polk 7b's always liked ample wattage.
Back in the late 70's I bought mine new (2 pairs) stacked them on their sides, tweeters to the outside, and eventually drove them with a Carver Cube (at a claimed 200w/ch). My best sound was with a room placement along a line diagonal, 2/3rds into a squarish room.
I never thought to mod them though, only add to the size of image (to make them more like Polk's 10b, which had twin 6 1/2" drivers per enclosure).
Enjoy your find!

I had one of those carver cubes for a while. Never seemed to have any low end though.
I've now tried the Polks with two different NAD integrated amps - the one with the huskier power supply (C350) has noticeably deeper and more solid low bass. There's that matching thing again.

...Could very well be, but I wouldn't have noticed as I bought mine with an Audio Pro B250 Subwoofer.
Subwoofers were getting big when I wasted coin on mine. I say wasted because I just had no clue at the time that efficient speakers could deliver the goods - that was "so 60's" and 60's was "old".
How we learn.
I always thought that was a great subwoofer.
