    I use these for my front and rear speakers. The sound is amazing. It was super easy to set up too. Note: they can be painted; however spray paint only is recommended.

    After buying new living room furniture, the rear speaker stands no longer fit in the setup. After some research, these speakers came very highly recommended in online reviews. Easy to install, the templates worked perfectly and the speakers look awesome in the wall. The sound is crisp and powerful, with solid range and strong bass. The new setup has me considering also upgrading the front speakers and a/v receiver.

    Awesome sound and great quality from polk. Looks great in the wall. Pointable tweeters. Go big and go with the RC85.

    I bought them to make them my surround speakers. They are paired up with my Yamaha RX-A1020 which supplies 110W per channel. The speakers were easy to install, and the wife loves the fact they are concealed in the wall. They sound very good as surround speakers but seem to lack low frequency, so I am not sure they will make great front speakers.

    Amazing product for serious home theaters on a budget. Easy install and quality construction. Only issue is the wire clips don't like 12ga wire. 16ga or even 18ga would be perfect.

    Purchased these to replace existing contractor grade home theater speakers in my home. The quality of sound for the cost was an excellent value. I had concerns about installation difficulty from online reviews, but that was not the case. Installation was so simple I wondered why such negative posts were submitted. One recommendation for the manufacturer to aid installation adjacent to a wall stud would be to allow vertical adjustment of the corner anchors instead of only horizontal. Very pleased with my purchase.

    I've been looking for the best quality but budget minded home theatre setup for months now. What I came up with is a Polk Audio setup with a Denon 1913 7.1 receiver that sounds like crisp clean audio without cheap speaker errors. I'm running 4 rc80i surrounds and I bought the rc85 for my 2 fronts. Till this day all I can say is this was the best purchase on my limited budget. It sounds like I'm at a movie theatre crisp clean audio and I get nothing but compliments from friends and family. People can't believe how much my sound system cost and how great it sounds for under 1000 dollars. Do your research before buying anything and you can end up with quality on a limited budget.

    Polk Audio is a top brand for surround sound. I've used Polk Audio for the last 20 years with no problems.

    These speakers took the place of my older Polk’s (used as rear surrounds). While my previous speakers more than did the job, it’s amazing the difference these speakers have made. The adjustable tweeters are a real plus.

    I installed these in my ceiling because I didn't like the look of the round speakers. I did fabricate an enclosure to help keep heat and dust away.

    Very nice speakers, especially for the price. Installed in a 12x12 area, and they fill the room with sound very nicely. Bass response is a bit weak, not surprising, but so for those considering make sure you plan to include a sub.
