    These are fantastic. Not even for the money - although that helps - or for in-wall speakers. Theyre just really great. I replaced some nice paradigm bookshelf speakers with these since I have a crawling newborn and consider these an upgrade. I would recommend running a auto-EQ program on your receiver to set the crossovers correctly. Mine is at 80 hz (normal). For installation, if youre comfortable finding the space between studs, cutting drywall along a straight line and fishing wires (sometimes through studs) then its pretty basic stuff. I do consider myself on the handier side and dont mind drilling through wall studs, understanding where electrical wires are already running and using fish tape. If any of that sounds challenging to you, call a pro.

    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.

    I am using the 265RT speakers as my center and 2 fronts for my home theater. They installed easy and sound great. I would highly recommend purchasing these if you are looking for a moderately priced speaker that will knock your socks off.

    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.

    I could not be happier! Sounds great and look very sleek. I installed them as RL in my 12 ceiling family room and I was surprise with the results. Highs and mids are very detailed and lows are so good that I barely notice when my sub is turned off.

    These speakers complement my Polk 65RTs which I use as side surround speakers. I am using the 265RTs as rear surround speakers together with Polk speakers for my front highs and Infinity towers for my front. I am also using an Infinity center speaker and a BIC Acoustech PL-200 sub woofer to complete my 9.1 surround system. Collectively they bring out an air of audible clarity not previously experienced with my former rear and side surround speakers. I am using an Onkyo TX-NR3008 AV receiver to drive them all.
