Acoustic Audio AA5172
Score: 71/100
Polk Monitor XT60 Midnight Black
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Polk XT60 tower speaker delivers deep bass and high-resolution detail with full Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, making it a strong budget floor-standing option. Its limitations include a single woofer that caps peak volume and a heavier-than-advertised weight. Ideal for entry-level immersive home-theater setups in medium-sized rooms.
The Acoustic Audio AA5172 delivers 700 W of 5.1-channel power with a range of wired and Bluetooth inputs, making it a solid budget home-theater solution. However, it lacks independent verification and is geared toward wired setups, limiting flexibility. Best suited for users who already have a receiver and want an affordable, feature-rich system.

Professional reviewers describe the XT60 as a budget-oriented floor-standing speaker that punches above its price class, offering hi-res certification, dynamic full-range sound, and effortless bass thanks to the passive radiators, making it a solid choice for entry-level immersive home-theater setups.
Everyday buyers give mixed feedback, praising the energetic bass, detailed highs, and immersive staging for movies and music, while noting concerns about the speaker's actual weight and occasional lack of refinement at higher listening levels.
