Would these be worth replacing my polk momo 6x9 speakers? I notice they have a little higher wattage rating,125 watts per speaker, also 30hz low.

it would depend on what kind of power you're pushing to them. I'm cranking about 75 to mine and they are by far the cleanest loudest speakers ive owned

I have 4 pairs in my malibu boat, hands down amazing sound quality and very loud. You wont be disappointed.

If your momos are blown yes. If not then I'd stick with them. The MMs sound amazing but the tweeter is what shines most. The woofers leave the kids a tad weak compared to highs and lows. But do sound great

Greg think but it's not the amp it's the box that really makes or break these speakers for me. I have been doing a few different. I put them in a car sub box and they sounded ok with a 300 watt amp but I think a 600 watt amp would be ok as well bit if I had a 600 watt amp I would let you know for sure what they sounded like. They are good speakers for the price I just know yet if I would recommend them to any one. I put subs and amps in people's car as a side job and I still haven't even told anyone I have them yet because I'm not satisfied yet.

They are better than any non-name brand speakers. Polk has been around for at least 70 years. Good products.

Dieckmann, you have not mentioned what watt are you speakers. i have the same problem too but my speakers are like 40W. i am usuing my old speakers till i get a deal on a new 80-100W speakers.so maybe if you upgrade the speaker is you have low Watt ones you will get good sound at 30-40 level.hope this helps

Not sure. They made great sound and still do. I would recomend these. I'm sure you can get on the Polk audio web site and find out.

I have sold the house I put these in but they are great sounding speakers . I suggest you verify via Yamaha website if the rated wattage is a concern. I am putting Yamaha in at the new house but a different style due to mounting arrangment

Too much amp....these speakers are only rated for 200W peak. You'll likely blow them right out of the cabinents. You'd be better off with the SL-15s with that much power.

I think that would be pushing it. They sound great, but that's in a relatively closed environment. Take a look at a speaker brand called energy take. They are Inexpensive, and an incredible bargain. You would need an amp, but you could try finding a cheap used one. Have fun!

I believe they are 125 watts. My receiver is 15 yrs. Old and supplies 100 watts per channel and it sounds bad ass!! As long as theyre not over powered so theres no risk of blowing them is what I would go by.. I also have the cv center channel and it makes a big difference when watching movies. Not so much for music(center channel speaker that is)

The sound quality is a nice clear crisp sound through both speakers. The sub produces an abnormal sound it's not like most subs to where the bass is somewhat dragged instead its more smooth and clear. Now, the Genius is apparently the better set statistically having 6 more watts, but unfortunately I have never owned a pair of those speakers myself. I guess it comes down to what you are using them for. My best guess would be to review the MOST recent 5,4,3,3,1 star comments of the Genius to determine if there are any problems.

Having too much wattage is only bad if you throw more at the speaker than it is rated for. So to answer your question; it will not blow these unless you drive them too hard. Be reasonable with the volume and don't drive them into distortion, and you'll be fine.

these Infinity speakers will handle 75 watts. I have an Onkyo at 65 per channel @8 ohms and the work wonderfully. It is hard to beat Infinity speakers. Good luck.

Depending on what your other speakers are, I actually think they would be a pretty good speaker as a high or wide. The reason I said that it depends in your other speakers is because you typically want your speakers to be timbre matched, otherwise it does not sound quite right. I believe that these are timbre matched to the Polk tsi or monitor speaker series.

they are pretty powerful speakers, so i wouldn't run them with less than 1000 per channel. I use a pyle pqa3100, it is pretty cheap but works great with these speakers.

They don't have a wattage rating because they are not self-powered, but rely on a separate amplifier. The speakers are rated at 4ohm. I use the Audioengine amp to drive mine. There is plenty of volume and they sound great - much better than any other computer sound system I have owned.

I am using a 300 watt 5.1 amp to power these. I don't think you will be happy with anything less than 150 watts of power. They are remarkable sounding, though.....
