Bang for the Buck

 

Buy better wall mounts.

Great speaker

 

I bought this speaker as part of a 5 speaker set about 3 months ago. The sound quality is excellent. You can never go wrong with Polk Audio. The speaker is loud and the sound is crisp

No Cons - Great speaker

WOW

 

Paired it with Polk's RM7 sorrounds and RM8 center with very old sony bookshelf speakers that I've had since 98 and and a 6 year old sony reciever in my sons room and it makes a lot of difference watching movies and playing videos cames. I also use it...

Solid build, deep bass

Not magnetically shielded might have effect on tv depending on placement

Very nice upgrade

 

Not the audiophile but these speakers are way superior to my Logitech z4 2.1 (the children custom mod'd the z4 by punching out the diaphragms) ; RM8 sound very good indeed for a 99$ Black Friday deal. I'm rockin' some euphoria right now. And the wife...

The wire retention closed gap will not hold 22+ Gauge wire. Had to crimp a connector to accept the Z4 wiring. Size and shape are little different to most desktop speakers I've seen. I'm stretching though, these are good speakers

Quality, Value, Performance

 

You can't beat this value. These may not have the best wire connectors but you have to spend a whole lot more to get speakers with that and I don't see the point. Save yourself the money and just get these, there's no reason not too.

I was very impressed with these speakers. I run a 7.2 surround sound and I use these as my side middle speakers and they are perfect with the two directional sound. They fill the room beautifully with a wide range of notes and sounds for movies and...

I've had these for a good 6 months and have yet to find something they can't do

Sound Great

 

Makes the low end of energy weapons in Halo: Reach pop and soar past your face. Pretty impressive. These were purchased as the first satellites, so I cannot compare them to having any previously. They do sound great though. These would perform just...

Lows are adequate, clarity is quite nice. Awesome spatial distribution of sound

Kinda sorta but not really a con: Heavy. Very dense. This is all well and good until a drunk buddy knocks it over and it nearly smashes through the end table glass. (Really though these got some heft which is awesome)

Good Speakers

 

Very good speakers for the price and size. I would love to have full range speakers but a big clunky center channel wouldn’t fit in with my wall mounted LED TV. If you are looking for the best sound quality I would suggest looking at the higher models....

None really but it lacks lows ; Get a good sub and you wont care

Bang for the buck

 

If you are looking to fill a large room with vibrant sound, I am nearly certain this is not for you. However, if you're like me and are close quarters to your tv or computer and need an accurate center channel, this budget speaker fit my bill perfectly.

I've only had this speaker for a short while, but the second I hooked this up to my computer's 5.1 surround, I noticed an instant wow factor ; I do not have it connected to a fancy A/V receiver just yet, but even at lower power connected to a budget...

The gorgeous shiny finish does tend to smudge ; Makes me want go buy more polk
