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

Top of the line speakers. Bought these for front left and rights. Port works well. Super easy install and clean finish.

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.

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.

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.

I purchased this speaker as a stand-alone center channel speaker for my 5.1.2 channel audio system. And out of the 7 speakers I have installed, this is by far the best of the bunch. Even compared to the other Polk speakers I used, this thing imparts serious depth and detail to my audio. And its perfect for the center channel, which is more focused on voices in my system. The size of the woofers allows the speaker to really emphasize the sound, volume and tone of voices, so our dialogue is crystal clear. Im not sure about the specific numbers, but I believe it handles power more effectively too. It gets a bit louder than my Front side speakers when playing the same audio, perhaps its the two-woofer design or maybe just an better S/N ratio. Regardless, it just works. As a true testament to how much I love this speaker, I am seriously thinking about replacing my other Polk in-wall speakers with this. Unfortunately, this guy is a lot more expensive and only sold as a single speaker. Wish Polk would offer it in a discounted pair!!!

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

This is the first of 2 reviews. I received my two (2) In-wall 265RT speakers from Amazon on Friday afternoon. Opened the shipping box over the weekend and as always, Amazon did a great job of packing the speakers in bubble wrap within a larger box. Unfortunately, one of the individual speaker manufacturer boxes looked like it had been dropped pretty hard (see pics) while the other box was pristine. For what I paid per speaker, Im really hoping BOTH work without issue. I have a contractor installing them later this week. Ill let you know how it turns out.

Best speakers for the money!!

These things were just what I was looking for. Perfect for movies and music. I preferred leaving the grills off as I think it looks more aggressive.

Great sound, great deal!
