Polk Audio 265-RT 3-way In-Wall Speaker - The Vanishing Series | Easily Fits in Ceiling/Wall | High-Performance Audio - Use in Front, Rear or as Surrounds | With Power Port & Paintable Grille - Black

Husband is really happy

The speaker looked as if it was heavily used. It had broken tabs and a cracked board, so the speak didn’t work. The kicker was that the speaker grille was painted already. Not some how anyone had even looked at this speaker to verified it worked.

excellent product for the price. Amazon customer service not so helpful as the woman hung up on me saying she spent too much time trying to resolve my problem. Not very professional Amazon. On a better note I called back and spoke to Dean and he had the capability of resolving my problem with next day expected delivery. Maybe the first customer rep should take Deans approach and learn something about what keeps you in business.....stock holders and repeat customers.

100% recommend these speakers for anyone looking for a beautiful and great sounding speaker. You won’t be disappointed. Install is also super easy with the provided templates.

Purchased these to replace a pair of Bose 601s. Completely satisfied with the sound. They sound great with and without the subwoofer. The sound is better than the Bose they replaced couldnt be happier.

I was truly skeptical about purchasing in-wall speakers. I thought for sure these would sound horrible. But, Polk Audio never seems to disappoint. Ive owned some of there lesser models and they seemed to perform well too. However, the 265RT are definitely one of their higher end products and it sounds even better than the previous bookshelf models I owned. The speaker is setup in a large room with tall ceilings. This kind of environment doesnt lend itself to good sound quality. But even in that size room the 265RT sounds great. The speakers are used for both playing music and watching shows. As surround speakers the sound amazing. I hear more detail than I heard with my older bookshelf model. When playing music, it is definitely more defined sound than with my older speakers. Overall I am very pleased.

I ordered all of the components of my theater system upfront so when I was running wires, cutting holes, etc. I would have everything at my finger tips. I didnt read that after 30 days you cant return anything - even if you got a defective product. Given the timeline for most DIYers this is too short of a period of time. When I called Polk to see if they would honor their warranty, they refused to send me a new speaker and instead send me some parts and expected to be disassemble and repair.

Fabulously easy to install. The grills are held on with magnets and create a seriously low-profile look. The sound is just what I wanted - amazing for both surround and turntable music from my receiver! Highly recommended.

Excellent sound, easy to mount, we are extremely happy. Very well made. We kept the screens off because the drivers look so nice.

I ordered these never hearing them before as I like the sound of Polk speakers. I couldnt be happier with the purchase. I use three of these as the left, right, and center in a 7.1 setup while using the 65 rt model to round out my other 4 channels (if you use this as a center keep in mind it is NOT intended to be mounted horizontal). Im not a speaker snob but I do appreciate good sound and full range in a speaker and these things deliver. When I first set them up I had a setting messed up in my receiver that wasnt sending a signal to the sub and I didnt pick up on it for about 5 minutes (obviously these wont put out the boom you get from a sub but the range was full enough that I didnt notice for a bit). I had originally planned on using some cheaper Polk in-walls but I caught a great deal on another site for Black Friday and convinced myself that if I was cutting holes in my walls I better get something I was not likely to regret. I also noticed that many of the in-wall speakers I had been looking at didnt handle as much wattage as these do and my receiver puts out 140 watts per channel, this further simplified my decision. As stated I dont consider myself necessarily a critical listener but I would be highly surprised if many people could tell these were in wall speakers if they walked into the room blindfolded. Toughest part of the install is running the speaker wire and cutting the drywall, the actual mounting of the speaker into the wall is incredibly simple. Highly recommended after about 4 days of use.
