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

I received what was advertised and fast shipping.

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.

Great price for the money. When put together the sound is about a 7 out of 10 compared to b&w which is about 4x the price.

Excellent build quality but just not the best sounding speakers

Really good sound from an in-wall speaker. They install easily and with quality construction backing up the wall they perform better than expected. love me some Polk!

Great 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.

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.

Amazon asked in stars to rate instal ease. This will vary greatly for each instillation. It will take up all but a 1/4 of a 2*4 wall cavity using 1/2 drywall. The push pins for the speaker wire are good but I would prefer a screw style connector. I had to cut a stud to get these symmetric in my install. But I boxed the cut stud above and below. Actually screwing the speakers into the wall is easy. The clamps grip the wall well and the speaker is very secure and doesnt rattle. The people in the next room over will definitely hear the music though. But that should be obvious. And installing these on an exterior wall will require you to remove the insulation directly around the speakers so it will fit in the wall.

Love it! Love it! Really brings out the sound in the room. Couldnt be happier.

Love these, look great and pretty easy to install. Sound great as our front speakers and take up zero space.
