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

Having an issue with a POLK product I purchased and they torture you to diagnose the problem when I already know the issue - will never buy another POLK product ever - back to BOSE for me

I bought these to install in the ceiling of my sitting room. I was redoing the room so I called technical support to get volume for a box to install them into between joists. They were very helpful and emailed me detailed instructions on how to build the boxes. Installation was a snap. The grills are very slim and blend into ceiling nicely. The speakers, crossovers and overall assembly is first quality. They sound great, I put a small powered subwoofer into the mix. Highly reccommended.

These are just awesome, it pays to get the crossover points right and spend time getting everything tuned, system dont just sound great out of the box.

The speakers come with the template needed for the perfect size hole and easy layout for your room. The grills are very low profile, attach via magnets, and the grill mesh is very fine with a high-end look. The speakers went in easily and secured to the wall firmly. I used these for my fronts in a 5.1.2 system, matched with the Polk 255crt (center), 65rt (rears), 70rt (ceiling presence) for an ATMOS system. After calibrating my levels I am blown away with the sound! These produce phenomenal clarity in both instruments and voice. The transition from one speaker to the next is perfect, being timbre matched. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I highly recommend these for anyone looking at installing a clean in-wall system.

work well in our movie room, no rattling and were easy to install

Low profile and great sound

Pols speakers are very good

The buttons for filtering the tweeter and adjusting the sound based on the proximity of the nearest wall get stuck in the down position and wont release. So you better like the sound that way because youll never be able to change it again. :( Also, if youre not gentle, the plastic fins that secure the speaker to the sheetrock will break when youre installing these. Sound quality is decent, but the button issue makes these defective, and it happened on both of the speakers I bought.

Used to round out our surround sound Polk Speaker System. Blend nicely as in the wall speakers and has amazing sound quality! Sound quality and detail is so clear, we sometimes get startled by the sneaky sounds in movies, so does our dog. You forget they are in the wall until the movie starts. They look upscale and our neighbors are jealous.

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.
