Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Five compact speakers make up the Polk Audio RM20 compact home theater speaker system. Its stylishly sculpted anodized aluminum satellites look awesome next to your plasma or flat screen television, and can be mounted either on the wall using their aimable brackets or on shelves. Either way, this system was designed for minimal intrusion into your space, and maximum sound quality. High tech materials and features, such as Satellite PowerPorts ensure superior sub/sat system performance, delivering rich, full-bodied, big speaker sound from stylish, compact packages.

The RM20 features:

• Stylishly curved satellite enclosures formed of heavy duty, non-resonant aluminum; the shape breaks up internal standing wave resonance for pure, lifelike sound.
• The satellites and center feature Power Port Bass Vents hidden under the grilles to extend and strengthen their lower-midrange performance. Unlike competing satellite systems, with this system you'll experience full, rich, natural voices and other midrange sounds.
• Satellites and center feature Swivel Wall-Mounting Brackets with hidden wire channels
• Threaded inserts on the back of the satellites and center speakers allow use of fully articulating brackets (sold separately).
• Front Stage Satellites come with custom designed desk or shelf Stands with hidden wire channels.
• Satellites and center speakers feature two 3-1/4 inch (8.25cm) Mineral Filled Polymer Dynamic Balance midrange drivers for clear, distortion-free midrange even at high volume levels.
• Broad dispersion design allows everyone in the listening area to hear clear, well-balanced sound.
• Satellites feature high performance 3/4 inch (19mm) Dynamic Balance Silk/Polymer Composite Dome Tweeter for sweet highs and more lifelike imaging.
• Connect your RM Series Satellites securely and conveniently with their high quality 5-way binding post inputs.
• Satellites are magnetically shielded for safe placement near your state-of-the-art TV or video monitor with no risk of video distortion.

Couldn't be more pleased with the RM20s. Excellent sound quality! Have them paired with Polk's 404 bass and the Onkyo 405 receiver. Can't believe the realism even from older CDs. Polk makes solid products.

I've had these speakers for about a year now, and they are great. I have them coupled with a Panasonic XR55 digital amp and Cerwin Vega CVHD 12S sub. After years of cheap HTIB speakers, these are an ear-opener. Highly recommended.

How this speaker set got discontinued is beyond me. I got the order 4 days earlier then expected (on a FRIDAY) set these babys up, luckily they are not spring clips, they are binding posts which is a plus.

SOUND= AWSOME, alot better then teh Rm75 , 85 imo.

The set came with mount brackets, all you need is anchors & teh screw for it,

I use 16 guag speaker wire, its metal (not like those plastic RM 75/85 /95 speakers they make now)

I really pushed the sound and never had an issue. I am very tempted to buy more of the Rm101 (single driver) for my bed bedroom set up, these babys are the bomb, everyone who hears em think I paid over $1k, then I tell em I paid under $400, they want a set too. Xbox 360 & PS3 are rediculous, let alone Blue ray. they have some stability and compared to most speakers that fel fragile, these bad boys feel durable. This is my first post and I am a proud owner of the RM20 5.1 speakers.
