> 3 dayAwesome sound, easy install. Im not using an amp that even puts these close to max power, but even with the receiver that I do have them attached do they sound fantastic. I paired them with the Polk 8 rears and the A6 front center channel.

> 3 dayItem shipped quickly, was received in great shape. Installation is a snap and instructions are easy to follow. For those a little uneasy about cutting holes in your walls to mount speakers, dont worry. This was my first time installing in-wall speakers. If you are at least marginally handy, have the basic tools needed, and use the provided template it will look like it was professionally installed. The speakers sound great. I power them with a Pioneer VSX-1020 and the sound is great. You will likely need a subwoofer as these do not provide enough bass to fill a room by themselves. I added the Polk Audio PSW505 and it provides excellent bass. The only negative I have is that the speaker coverings/grates are a little flimsy. They are magnetic and sit flush to the wall which gives a very clean look, but mine were slightly bowed at the bottom and are therefore not completely flush with wall. If I worked at it, I could probably bend them a little to make them flush. This did not affect my rating as I think these are excellent speakers.

> 3 dayThe speakers are exactly as described. Well constructed with a great install process/system. Well work the cost. They are excellent for my home theater mounted in the wall beside the TV.

> 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.

> 3 dayAs an audiophile, I am very happy with these. I had nice two way Polk box speakers but my wife wanted a cleaner look. So during our remodel I put in wall speakers in for front and surround. Not the center speaker. Im really happy.
