Product Description

Color: White

The OWM3 is a dedicated Surround/Satellite that’s about as unobtrusive as an on-wall speaker can be. Equally capable of being part of a 2.1 2nd zone system, or as a multi-channel surround system, the OWM3s unique curved design and removable base make it easy to mount in a corner or simply place on a table. In fact, with the OWM3 you have six different mounting possibilities, including angled wall mounting. The OWM3 incorporates a 4 1/2" driver, which employs Capacitive Coupling Bass Technology for low frequency response that’s truly surprising given the speaker’s ultra compact size. A choice of either white or black finish makes the speaker blend in easily to any decor. It’s simple. It's easy. It's pure Polk Audio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Rears for 5.1 or 7.1 setups, May 16, 2009

Produces lots full sound for rear channels. Can be mounted in most any position to give that custom installed look. Had expensive B&W 805's for rears and decied to move the 805s to front for another seperate room setup. Put these in place and did not notice a change at all. Thundering choppers flying from front to rear still sound great. Also handles the subtle sounds of crickets in the outdoor scenes very cleanly. No need to spend more on super expensive rears -- save the money for your center speaker or a big subwoofer. Great performance and good value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Speakers!, March 14, 2009

This review is from: Polk Audio OWM3 On-Wall Speaker (Pair, Black) (Electronics)

Being audio-conscious, albeit not an audiophile, I bought these to replace my old JBL sound effects speakers as my front left and rights. The tweeters on both drivers broke, and I needed something new. Since I needed speakers in a pinch I went to the old two stores in my area: CircuitCity and the Bose outlet. The Bose outlet had their 301s for $219, which was a decent price. Because my CircuitCity was closing, these were discounted to only $100. I bought these impulsively (knowing that Polk is a good name in audio) and I have been impressed. The mids are not as clear as in my JBLs, but the treble is much more audible than my JBLs were (when the tweeters worked). Although they're wall-mount speakers, I use them with the included stand things and they work just fine. If you're looking for some speaker replacements and want something good, small, and relatively inexpensive then these speakers are a great choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best sound On Earth!, January 23, 2010

PROS:
These are some great sounding speakers. More than great, they sound spectacular. It has a very clear, full, rich complete sound that can sound as awesome as the front and surround sound speakers. I chose the white speakers and the color blends perfectly well with a nice limited edition picture resting between them. You would not believe how well they look on the wall over my sofa and how many compliments I get on their appearance. The speakers were easy to put up and the picture on the net does not do them justice. I can put these speakers anywhere that I want to. I can corner them between two walls, mount them on a stand or just sit them on a table. How sweet is that? Also, the shape of each speaker affords an easy blend into any decor. I know. I'm a woman.

CONS:
Barring someone receiving a lemon, I don't think that anyone could find a legitimate con to these, or for that matter, any of the Polk speakers in this series.

OTHER THOUGHTS:
My receiver is the Onkyo TX-SR706. I have the Polk Tsi300's floor standing speakers as my front left and right speakers. The Polk CS10 is my center speaker, the Polk Tsi100's bookshelf speakers are my surround sound speakers and The Polk OWM3's are my rear back speakers. They are all made to go with one another and are voice matched. Alas, my sub-woofer is a Yamaha SW315 10" powered sub.

All of the speakers are black except the center speaker, which is cherry wood and the OWM3's, which are white. The colors work well since the rears are on the wall above the sofa. Since they are each others matches, I'm able to set my crossover to 80hz and sit back and enjoy the show. It is A LOT OF FIRST RATE SOUND. I've been a music lover my entire life and I have never, ever had a system that sounds as wonderful and first rate as this.

It's my first time building a system and everyone that's comes to my home is super impressed with the way that it sounds and the way that it looks.
