About the Monitor 5jr+

The Polk Audio Monitor 5jr+ is a 3-driver loudspeaker system featuring an 8-inch fluid coupled bass driver, a 6.5-inch midrange cone, and a 1-inch dome tweeter. It delivers a frequency response range of 30Hz to 26kHz with a sensitivity of 91dB and an impedance of 6 ohms. Recommended amplifier power ranges from 20 to 125 watts. The speaker cabinet measures 19.5 x 9 x 9 inches and weighs approximately 41 pounds. It is praised for its powerful bass response and clear, warm sound, making it suitable for mid-sized bookshelf or studio monitor use. The design includes a passive radiator replacing the port found in earlier models, enhancing bass performance. The speakers were made in the USA and are considered vintage but remain highly regarded for their sound quality. Typical usage includes near-field monitoring and home audio setups, with some users noting the ability to reach down to 30Hz without a subwoofer. The speakers are no longer in production but have a strong enthusiast following and support community.
