Immerse yourself in the true rock and roll experience while playing Rock Band or Guitar Hero. When the crappy speakers on your TV won’t do, you should hook up your guitar to these Polk Audio HitMaster monitors. Just like a real stage monitor, the HitMaster is a floor-mounted cabinet directly facing you so you’ll hear your sound straight and true. Get up to 80 watts of eardrum-busting sound from the single-point stereo speaker. But if that’s not enough, you can link up several HitMasters side-by-side. There’s also a 1/8″ input jack so you can connect other audio sources like your iPod. The HitMaster will hit (pun intended) the markets next year. $100.
