Over the years I've used several different speakers the size of the Polk Audio RM6751, but none equal in caliber.

You will be amazed by the sound these produce. The highs are bright and crisp and the mids come through clearly and cleanly; even the lows have a full, rich sound to them. Over all it's a neat little multi-use speaker.

Suggested use would be as rear surround speakers, for use as a bedroom or apartment speaker or any place where you want a lot of sound in a little space. From the rotor blades of the helicopter coming in behind you in your favorite movie to the pluck of a guitar string resonating in a full, rich sound, these speakers do it and do it well. As I write this review I am listening to a Bartók piece and am enjoying the rich tonality of the piano, heard cleanly from bass to treble.

Now don't kid yourself; if you think you are getting the sound of a full floor speaker with tweeters, mids and 10" woofers, think again. If, on the other hand, you want a speaker capable of handling some decent wattage, minimal distortion and good sound all in a small package then you've found your speaker. These handle the volume quite well (100 watts max) and they do a very nice job delivering the mids and highs without blurring. The bass comes through without issue but, not surprisingly, also without punch.

Whether listening to piano concertos or watching your favorite movie, the Polk Audio RM6751 may just well suit your needs.

NOTE: While the bass isn't bad on these I would absolutely recommend the use of a sub-woofer Polk Audio PSW10 if you are using them as primary speakers for a small media room or otherwise want to bring in a more full, rich bass tone. After all, when those explosions start going off you will want more umph! than these can provide.

I really like the way the look up on the wall, or I should say I like they way they blend into the wall and you don't even notice them till you turn up the volume. I opted for the white pair because they would blend into the white wall better than black ones. The rest of my stereo is black, but I was right to get the white ones. They were about 13$ more each IIRC, but it was worth every penny. My friend has Bose Cubes and when he came over he said he was jealous of the sound created. I looked at the Cubes, on Ebay but I did not want to pay a minimum of 130$ and come away with used speakers. I only paid 115$ for them which was nearly 35$ more than the black ones. But I would do it again in a heartbeat, they sound great as rear surrounds. And you don't really notice them unless you are really looking. I have a pretty beefy Sub woofer, and some nice Polk floor monitors, a sweet center channel all powered by a serious Denon receiver. I would definitely say you cant go wrong with the sound and appearance of these speakers.

A word about the service here at Amazon. I have to say how impressed I am. I went and did the Amazon prime deal, try it free for 30 days...you know. So I did the two day shipping option and it was really cheap. I finished checking out at about 8 pm. EST and my speakers arrived at 3pm the next day! I looked and it appeared they came from AZ all the way to Indiana in about 20 hours! Wow. Super fast. I was really happy. I have bought quite a few things over the years here and there but have always been happy with the service at Amazon.

these are solid speakers. I use them as surround speakers so I cannot say whether or not they have great sound but they certainly do the trick for surround speakers. They look nice and were very easy to install on my wall.

We have a 6-speaker surround sound audio system in our family room. Just one of the speakers went out, so I found it on Amazon and ordered it. It came to us brand new, wrapped, and in perfect working condition. I'm thrilled.

I purchased two of these speakers as extension speakers in our kitchen. They are small enough to sit on top of our kitchen corner cabinets and they give out 'big' sound.I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

These speakers were the last two I needed to complete my surround setup. They say "size matters" and that is especially true when one's spouse is not real happy to see electronic stuff all over the house. Big speakers hanging on the wall of a family room just were not going to be acceptable and I didn't really want to start cutting holes in the walls and fishing wires around fire stops in order to flush mount some in-wall jobs, let alone the patching etc. These measure only 4x6.5x5. The two speakers, in white, mounted unobtrusively on the wall and I was able to run speaker wire along the base boards very neatly tacked down. The look is neat and the sound is very good. I am very happy with the results and the wife had no complaints at all.

My other speakers are also by Polk Audio and I have always been satisfied with the brand.

Polk Audio RM6751 Satellite Speaker (Single, White)

Great speakers and awesome price...matches well with my white ceilings, you won't even know they are there until they are pushing surround sound..

I purchased these speakers to act as side and back for my 7.1 home theater setup. Mounted them on the roof using universal mounts that allows me to tilt and aim them properly in the room to obtain the desired effect. The particular mounts I purchased are made of plastic and I was concerned with the weight (I ordered the mounts and the speakers at the same time). Luckily, the speakers are light enough so that weight is no problem. I'm sure any mounts out there would work like a charm with them.

The response of these speakers is excellent. Although relatively small and lightweight, they pump out solid and natural sound. Being so small, they lack powerful bass (that's what the subwoofer is for, after all). However midranges and highs sound alive and warm. I'm very happy to have selected these speakers for this job and would definitely recommend them without reservations. I think these are the best speakers at this price point that I've listened to.

I think you could use these speakers for the front of a home theater if the room is small enough. You can easily put them in a shelf or in wall mounts, where their color is likely to help matching the walls.

I was excited to get this speaker considering the great reviews and my past experience with Polk speakers. However I was very disappointed when I hooked it up to my receiver. The sound was "tinny" and "fuzzy" or distorted. I tried many different settings with the same result.

I sent an email to Polk customer service and did not receive a reply.

I returned the speakers for a refund.

Don't let the small size of these speakers dissuade you -- they are really good, high quality speakers that have a nice low end to them. They produce a surprising amount of bass, nice mids and highs. These little speakers outperform a couple of Onko 6.5" woofer mains from a HTIB, at generously 1/4 the size. The white color blends in well with the ubiquitous boring slightly off-white paint on all walls.
