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 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 for a seamless blend with the subwoofer output. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the RM6900 package - and get a subwoofer for free, February 28, 2007

I have the Harmon Kardon AVR7300 receiver with these 5 speakers- and the sound is unbelievably awesome! The range and sound clarity in the three fronts is excellent. The mids and highs are crystal clear.

The mounting brackets could be better (can't fit any gold plated connectors with the mounting brackets), however the set of universal binding brackets was minor for the trade-off in excellent sound quality.

If you are thinking of buying the famous black cubes with the famous black sub from a company that makes a wave radio... think it over. I used to run those cubes and although they are nice and small, these Polk speakers blow them away! I couldn't be happier.


Currently the price has dropped on the RM6900 package which includes a subwoofer for free. The included subwoofer isn't the best, but replace it and sell the old one on Craigslist or Ebay and you'll save some money on this package. The RM20 and RM6900 packages include the same front, rear, and center channel speakers.

I've been very happy with this sound system, although I've been using it in conjunction with separate front speakers in a 7 channel system. The extra satellites help enormously when trying to fill dead zones in the room.
