I used them as rear channels for my Home Theatre, they sound great and punchy, installation is easy.

COMPRE HACE 3 AÑOS LAS MISMAS BOCINAS Y A LA FECHA FUNCIONAN PERFECTAMENTE CON EXCELENTE CALIDAD Y NITIDEZ, POR LO QUE QUISE PONER EXACTAMENTE EL MISMOS SISTEMA EN OTRA ÁREA. LAS RECOMIENDO 100%

I have a 7.2.4 ATMOS system POLK ceilings and surrounds, honestly spending loads of money on ceiling speakers and surrounds is not needed in my humble opinion, yes if you are loaded then go for it….. but personally spending £200 plus on one ceiling speaker whether it’s THX etc, is NOT going to make a plane going over your head for a split second sound this kind of money better.The polks are a quality built speaker, and do the job you want them for.Highly recommended

Good sound

Las compre para instalarlas en el techo, parte de mi sistema 5.1.2, y por el momento todo excelente, no requiero exigirles trabajo duro ya que las configure como “small”, que el subwoofer haga lo suyo, pero en cuanto a agudos y graves todo ok. Hay mejores marcas, pero para surround, y relación calidad precio quedo satisfecho.

Update from 2021Still love these. Was going to buy another pair for my living room. I had a bit of a shock. I paid less than $170 for the pair in 2014. It's $280 now. Compounded 7.5% annual price hike, that's way faster than inflation...Initial review from 2014I put these in wall in my bedroom, powered by a Yamaha amplifier/receiver. I use them as plain stereo to mostly listen to classical music. They are extremely clear and precise, well balanced and rather neutral in tone. Quite pleasant and a great deal for the money. I also have the ceiling mounted Polk 60s in the attached bathroom and while I really like these, the wall mounted 85s, when listened in immediate comparison, make the 60s sound slightly metallic and less defined.I put thermal insulation and bubble wrap behind them to try and minimize any reflected path. Also oriented the tweeters towards ceiling and angles of the room for a more natural feel.I did not see any difficulty in the installation. The little plastic legs work just fine (as others have mentioned, give them a slight turn the other way first, so as to loosen the leg, and then all is good.The toughest part of the entire deal was removing and then putting back the grid. Rather annoying, took several attempts, but very feasible.Even though I mounted them in a colored wall, I left them white. Seems to work well and there are white accents in room anyway. If you plan on painting them, there are several steps to keep in mind (spray painting the grid - after removing the felt from inside; putting the attached plastic protector as a replacement to the grid prior to painting the perimeter). Nothing too complicated, but spray painting can be tricky (needs equipment, etc).Would definitely buy again.

I'm an Audio Engineer by trade. I purchased 4 sets of these because Amazon was throwing in the 8" subwoofer and I couldn't be more pleased. I created a 7.1 environment. One speaker didn't get used but whatever. I paid under $600 for the entire setup with shipping n' all that. Forget paying the $300+ for a center speaker. IF you have all of the same, then the timber of the should should be even. When I score films, I use the same speaker types for the 5.1, 6.1, 7.1.Installation:The installation was a walk in the park! I had to cut into a wall stud to make the center speaker fit but that was the hardest and most time consuming part. Installing them in the dry wall took all of a few minutes for the 3 speakers (L/R/C).I do recommend getting some insulation and putting that in first before you install your speakers. It dramatically increases the performance and sound. The wall I was installing them in didn't have any so I went up in the attic and cut out some small pieces from a part of my ceiling. IT worked like charm. :-)Once those were done we cut into the ceiling and started installing them there. Those were a little tricky because in some parts I had Drywall and in another I had some form of concrete or something like that. It had wires n' all that. After we broke through it (extremely messy) the installation of those speaker went just as smooth as the others. Just had to patch and paint a little but it wasn't too much of a pain.Running the wires weren't too much of a pain. There was a closet on the other side so I just drilled a hole and ran the speaker wires into the closet. THEN I drilled another larger whole over by the receiver and ran all of the wires through that. I have an attic so when I ran the wires from the ceiling ones, I drilled another whole in the closet (top) and dropped all of the wires down form there and then into the larger hole by the receiver.Eventually I'm going to use wall plates but I didn't have them and I was too excited!I recommend getting 200 feet of speaker wire. Be liberal with it because more wire is better than less wire.These speakers have tweeters that can be angled. I recommend you angle them to your listening position.Sound:Once I turned on the receiver I said "oh... I guess it sounds ok". Then I started to justify it... "I only paid $500 for it so I get what I pay for...". DON'T GO DOWN THAT STREET! I started to play with the receiver (Sony) and I started tweaking the levels: FLAT EQ and adjust volume settings according to your room.FOR THE RECORD, LOUD BASS doesn't mean your system is good. You want to have an even sound. The bass will stand out but too much bass can really mess up the listening experience.Anywhoo, after making the adjustments I realized that I was watching my regular cable 1080i on an OLD movie that didn't really have too much 5.1 let alone 7.1, SO I did some tests:** Avatar: 4 of 5 - I liked it a lot but it didn't have enough for me.The speakers performed very well. I had it about a quarter of the way up in total volume. No issues...** G.I. Joe: 4 of 5... Explosions, lasers, sword fighting the works!I was starting to get hooked on the speakers! I had this one turned up about half way because I wanted to hear all the crazy stuff that goes on in the fighting scenes. Speakers performed very well** Star Trek: 5 of 5... They did a WONDERFUL job on this.In this movie I cranked the speakers up about half way as well. It was "loud" but no fatigue or signs of distortion.** 2010: 5 0f 5... This movie had so much CGI and destruction I just had to try it.This was cranked up about 3 quarters of the way up. It was LOUD but you can REALLY HEAR EVERY SPEAKER in the 7.1 playing something different. AWESOME TEST! The speakers held in there and at that point I was satisfied completely satisfied with my purchase.Conclusion:The 7.1 (Polk RC65i and the 8" sub) is a WONDERFUL combination. I'm very pleased with the performance and sound. I would recommend this particular configuration to anyone looking. You will not be disappointed.Make sure you get the right receiver that puts out the right amount of wattage. I have a Sony STR-DH810. It puts out enough power to do these speakers justice. Onkyo makes some good ones as well. If you under power these speakers you WILL lose out on sound. GET A GOOD RECEIVER WITH THE RIGHT POWER.If your room is larger and you decide to get the 8" version of these speakers, get a larger sub like a 12". The others will go deep enough to capture most of what your looking for and you can tweak the larger subs crossover and have it push out the REALLY low frequencies.I hope this helps anyone out there looking!
