Polk Audio 265-RT 3-way In-Wall Speaker - The Vanishing Series | Easily Fits in Ceiling/Wall | High-Performance Audio - Use in Front, Rear or as Surrounds | With Power Port & Paintable Grille - Black

Purchased to replace more expensive Paradigm speakers that had blown out and no longer available. Did extensive research and decided on these speakers. Was surprised by the audio crispness and separation. Comparable to if not better than the Paradigms. Excellent Value!

The buttons for filtering the tweeter and adjusting the sound based on the proximity of the nearest wall get stuck in the down position and wont release. So you better like the sound that way because youll never be able to change it again. :( Also, if youre not gentle, the plastic fins that secure the speaker to the sheetrock will break when youre installing these. Sound quality is decent, but the button issue makes these defective, and it happened on both of the speakers I bought.

excellent product for the price. Amazon customer service not so helpful as the woman hung up on me saying she spent too much time trying to resolve my problem. Not very professional Amazon. On a better note I called back and spoke to Dean and he had the capability of resolving my problem with next day expected delivery. Maybe the first customer rep should take Deans approach and learn something about what keeps you in business.....stock holders and repeat customers.

These speakers complement my Polk 65RTs which I use as side surround speakers. I am using the 265RTs as rear surround speakers together with Polk speakers for my front highs and Infinity towers for my front. I am also using an Infinity center speaker and a BIC Acoustech PL-200 sub woofer to complete my 9.1 surround system. Collectively they bring out an air of audible clarity not previously experienced with my former rear and side surround speakers. I am using an Onkyo TX-NR3008 AV receiver to drive them all.

Works great in my Movie Room! Great sound! I mounted these on the sides of my 120 screen. I use the Polk 255-RT mounted under the screen.

Great for my living room theatre use.

Great sound from these. I use them in a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup with a Denon Receiver and they sound great. Sure some bookshelf speakers will sound better but these are nice and flush in my false wall and look and sound great. If you want decent sound for a home cinema and want a discreet setup, these are perfect.

The greatest speakers with great sound, bass is there, couple with Polks surround ceiling speakers and you have a full blown theater system. You will not regret these speakers. I have owned Polk speakers since the 70s.

UPDATE 2: Three years later and still pretty much daily use, these speakers are still performing without issue! UPDATE: A year later with daily use, and these things still sound absolutely amazing behind my acoustically transparent theater screen. If you have any doubts, stop. Just buy three of these and place them all vertically for your L-C-R front soundstage. You wont regret it! Original Review: These speakers are freaking awesome. I have three of them (L-C-R) all positioned vertically in the wall behind an acoustically-transparent screen in my home theater, and they sound absolutely amazing.

I have a small home gym room, and was planning on using 2 of these speakers to set the mood for my workouts. For the price and reviews, I was expecting to be impressed. Ive got cheap, I mean cheap, 2 for $89 2 way speakers that sound better than these 3 ways. Little to no bass, highs arent crisp as they should be, and the midrange is ok. Ill stick to my cheaper speakers or buy Klipsch or another brand that can meet expectations. Especially for the cost!
