Question

Which are better speakers Polk Audio VM20 or Monitor Audio R225 for my left right and center channel?

Answer 1

Both companies have good reputations in the audio world...So as far as a quality build, there's not much to worry about - both will last for years...

Styling is pretty nice on both models...The Polk's have aluminium enclosures which may or may nor fit your taste style wise...With the Monitors being wood, you'd have more choices of finishes...

But the ultimate deciding factor between any speakers is how they sound (duh)...If there's an audio shop nearby, take some personal CDs and take a close-up listen to them...Some audio purists will prefer the wood enclosures...

I've personally never been a big fan of Polk Audio...Not that they're bad, they've just never done anything for me...I've heard Monitors, and at their price point, I think they're some of the top choices...

Also check out Focal's SIB XL or B&W's PFM4's...Same kind of speaker you've mentioned, but sonically MUCH better...

Happy Listening...CP
