Larger than I had expected, and not directly wall-mountable, so I had to pick up some speaker brackets to set it on. But wow, what an upgrade from the cheapo speaker set I had previously. Dialogue in movies is so much clearer that it now makes me realize how low/muffled it was before.

Functions well, very clear dialog, matches well with other speakers. I'm not crazy about the look the sides are piano black high gloss and the grill is charcoal gray...would have preferred a black grill.

Polk quality & performance! Really brings out definition in spoken content and brings fullness to the overall soundtrack. Have been a Polk customer for over 20 years and have not been disappointed.

Exactly what I needed. Enough power but does not cause ear fatigue. Coupled with Polk bookshelf and Atmos speakers and a JBL sub this gives me the perfect balanced sound for my home theater.
