I have a all Polk system and needed a pair of satellites for rear surround use and these were a great match.

Speakers have plenty of volume when (I have a Harman Kardon receiver) and the midrange is good. I would get these over the RM 101 or the RM 7 because it has a 3.5" driver vs. 2.5" on the newer models. The bigger driver provides a more flexible frequency response of 40-22000 hz vs 95-22000 hz. You'll get better midrange sound which is what surrounds do most of the time. There's also a silk .5" tweeter which is pretty smooth, no harsh brightness here.

Provided you have a decent sub to take care of the low end, these should will be great surround speakers. Especially for the price.

Pros
- Good sound in small package
- Good heft to a small speaker
- Wide frequency response
- Smooth highs
- Good mid range
- Inexpensive

Cons
- Not the most attractive
- Spring wire clips are kinda cheap
- Speakers are more charcoal in color

Review update - I moved the two new Polk speakers to be my front speakers and after hearing how they sound there I have since bought another pair to replace my older Sony side surround speakers. These sound great and I am real happy with them. Great sound at a reasonable price.

I added these as rear surround speakers for my 7.1 system and they sound great. My only quibble is with the "Integrated keyhole slot wall mounting brackets". These are simply an extension to the speaker back that has a hole in it for hanging from a nail or screw (like a cheap wall clock). They do have the standard threaded hole for use with regular satellite speaker wall brackets (which I purchased separately). They're still a great deal but I really wouldn't plan on mounting these with the "integrated bracket".

Bought these speakers in a 7.1 setup for my home theater and they just blew me away. No more going to the movies. These babies will not let you down.....

Got these for the extra two needed to make a full 7.1 surround for the RM6750 Polk system. Very satisfied with the speakers, and of course match perfectly the satellites that come with the RM6750 system.

Running a Yamaha RX-V765 with 95W through these using 16 gauge wire. Wonderful range and clarity. Mine did not come with any mounts, but have great molded hooks that you can use a deeper wood screw to hang if you will not need to aim them in a different direction from the wall face.

I use these as rear speakers, accompanying a set of higher priced and better quality Polk fronts and center. They don't sound bad at all. For most music they will do the job, but when I turn a little up the volume, specially with music that includes a good deal of activity from the rears and with some instruments, particularly with some electronic sounds that are highly "vibrational" they begin to produce a loud "screech" that ruins what you're hearing. Maybe they'll do a better job with home theater effects than with music. I repeat: This happens just with a few records I own, not with all of them. I guess such a tiny enclosure is not the best for listening to music at levels of 25 watts or more, per channel.

I was recently in the market for satellite speakers to upgrade my ONKYO Surround sound system, all i wanted were the satellite speakers. I searched at all the usual retail stores. I had done my research and was set on buying POLK speakers. The retailers also highly recommended them but i was only able to find them in sets which included a center speaker, plus the ones in the set were half the size for about $600. I then turned to AMAZON and was able to get a much better speaker at a great price $286 for all four including shipping and taxes! The clarity and sound quality is incredible, i will definitely be hearing from my neighbors soon as I tend to turn up the volume. So far i have experienced zero distortion, these combined with my PS3 and movies on Blu ray - just blow you away - Highly recommend these speakers

I ordered this one as a "cheaper" speaker and also a more expensive Boston Acoustic speaker. BA speaker was about 1.5x bigger and I expected it to blow this Polk one out of the air. Surprisingly, the smaller less expensive Polk had much clearer high notes and bass was punchier. Both had about the same loud level. Great speaker for small price!

Great speakers lots of full rich sound. These speakers really enhance the movie watching on our 65 inch Mitsubishi tv.

I bought these satellite speakers to complete my surround sound system. I already had two bookshelf speakers, a center channel and a subwoofer, all Polk Audio. And these do very well for the rear surround speakers for sound effects and supporting audio in movies. I am very happy with these speakers for what they are designed for. Polk Audio makes great audio components.

Full, rich sound with a good bass effect from the rear port. Would only use for rear surround speakers, since their small size would not bring enough sound by themselves to properly fill a room.
