    Ive owned a pair of Cerwin Vega DX7 since 1998. They were top of the line rated at the time...so I figured they were still top of the line. NOPE! These Polk speakers are so open and spacious. The entire sound stage is almost 3-D now. Wow! Cant believe what Ive been missing all of these years. Vocals are spot on crystal clear. Acoustic music sounds great. Electronic music is hit and miss (Metal, Rap, etc). Youll definitely want a subwoofer. Movies are perfect also. I have 3 of these behind an AT screen. The only downside is, since they use your wall as the enclosure...they arent dialed-in perfectly. I use the foam plug insert to compensate for this. It essentially becomes an acoustic suspension speaker.

    The best from the best, really super quality. The wanishing series are great, ideally balanced, melodious if you can say like that.

    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.

    Awesome sound, easy install. Im not using an amp that even puts these close to max power, but even with the receiver that I do have them attached do they sound fantastic. I paired them with the Polk 8 rears and the A6 front center channel.

    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.

    These are the second set of Polk 265 RT speakers I have purchased; I have been happy with Polk in wall speakers for our home theater systems.
