5.0 out of 5 stars Great speakers if you have the right room to take advantage of the dual drivers, February 20, 2008

I was originally looking at a Bose speaker setup, but I couldn't bring myself to spend $1000 on speakers. Not knocking Bose, but I thought Polk Audio has always put out a good product, so I though I'd give them a try, and I've been very pleased.

I bought them on sale at Tweeter for $599 around Christmas, and I could not be happier with them. Part of the deal was also the PSW11 sub which has more than enough punch for my system.

I have them set up for a home theater system in my basement and they sound phenomenal, but placement is critical to getting the most sound out of these speakers (actually, any speakers) due to the fact that they have dual drivers. All this means is they have a mid-range and tweeter on two of the three sides of the speaker (they are triangular in shape if looking from the top-down). They are designed to create a sound field by bouncing sound off of the walls in your room.

It is very important to experiment with placement of these... Read more

They sound good. The look good. I used this system to complement an older pair of Polk RT-7 bookshelf speakers and a PSW111 to build a 7.1 speaker set. Cosmetically, these matched well my RT-7s. The set arrives with decent wall and surface mounting hardware.

Beware these have small spring loaded terminals. Connecting up with wire AWG 14 or larger can present a challenge. Note that for short runs less than 75 feet, AWG 16 is fine. In case Polk is reading this, I would see the addition of binding post terminals as an improvement worth paying for.

Installation.
I suspended these from the ceiling. The screw mount on the bottom is compatible with Omnimount Universal mounts. I did not need any of the adapter bits included with the speakers or the mounts. The RM8s just screwed right onto the threaded ends of the mounting arms and lock in place with the chrome finished nut, supplied with the Omnimounts. Neat! This arrangement would look good wall mounted... Read more

I'll keep this one short. These speakers sound great with music or movies. They never sound pushed, harsh or compressed. Clear and sweet.

I moved from a much larger place and had to transition from huge floor standing 7.1 Klipsch speakers along with a monster Onkyo receiver to a smaller sat/sub setup and a far less involved receiver.

I was at Frys and they had these new in the box red tagged for $189! Since I didn't really care what I wanted and just had a budget to stick to I went for it. Had no idea how they sounded or what they were. I just knew it allowed me to spend more on the receiver.

Well when I got home my expectations were low. New smaller apartment, former system of mighty glory no more. I connect them up, fire up Transformers on Bluray and crap my pants. Stunning.

End of review.
