> 3 dayAwesome Speakers. I used these to replace my RTI A9s due to space. They sound amazing. You will need a sub. They have little to zero bass but that is not why we buy them. Clarity is very good. I am pumping them with a huge amp and they take a lot of abuse from me. You will not be let down as long as you power them. Dont think a cheap Sony will do anything for these. Get a real receiver or amp you will be happy.

Greater than one weekGreat sounding speakers. Easy to install, and love the magnetic grills. I have them installed with a 255C-RT in the cetner and 65RTs in the rear, along with a Velodyne 10 sub. The system sounds great.

> 3 dayThese were a piece of cake to install. My only regret is I forgot to put insulation behind one before screing it in and I cant seem to get it out. Not sure what to do but one day I will decide if I want to really get at it. Its very low profile and installation was great. Its polk. Love it! They have a great warranty and these really sound great. I have yet to install the round ceiling ones or a in wall mid, but its coming.

> 3 dayI really love these speakers. I replaced 2 really good Polk tower speakers with these so I could utilize a projector screen in my man cave. Im using them as my Front L & Front R speakers behind an Amazon purchased Elite Screens audio-transparent screen (model ER100WH1-A1080P3). However, I wouldnt buy these if you dont plan on getting a sub. Ive paired these with a Polk Center Speaker, Polk Sub, 2 Polk RC85is as my rears, & 2 Polk RC60is in my ceiling. Even though these will be hidden from view, I was amazed at how tight to the wall the actual speaker/cover was. They look amazing. It has an extremely low profile, even less than the other wall/ceiling Polk speakers I have. And the magnet covers are so easy to take off compared to all my other in-wall speakers. Installing them is easy (running the speaker wire can be the tricky part). What youll need: Tape measure Stud finder (highly recommended) Level Pencil Laser level (optional) Sheetrock saw (can get for like $4 @ a hardware store) *make sure you dont cut into any electrical, plumbing, cold-air return, etc. I installed these in the only room in my house that has a drop ceiling, so I was lucky and had a better idea of what I was dealing with. Still there are no guarantees you wont find any surprises until you actually cut the hole. If youre not comfortable doing this, I would recommend hiring a professional. *make sure to stay 1- 1.5 away from any stud. You want the tabs to fully install so you get a good hold.
