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

Great speakers. Good solid sound,easy installation.

Im using two of these for the front speakers in a 5.1 system and the 65RT as rear speakers. I was skeptical at first because was going from great Paradigm speakers hanging on the wall to in-wall speakers. Well, let me tell you that in-wall speakers have obviously come a long way. These sound fabulous. Great design, easy to install, and most importantly, full vibrant sound.

I got 11 of these small speakers so that I can finally build my own cinema room. I have a 7.2.4 setup with a CXA-5100 & MXA5000 combi. I built all 13 loudspeakers myself. My two DIY subwoofers are equipped with two Polk db1040. DTS: X and Dolby Atmos just sound like a dream. Mhe middle and highs everything sounds perfect and the four top channel effect sounds incredibly good. I would buy them again.

I really love these speakers. I replaced 2 really good Polk tower speakers with these so I could utilize a projector screen in my man cave. Im using them as my Front L & Front R speakers behind an Amazon purchased Elite Screens audio-transparent screen (model ER100WH1-A1080P3). However, I wouldnt buy these if you dont plan on getting a sub. Ive paired these with a Polk Center Speaker, Polk Sub, 2 Polk RC85is as my rears, & 2 Polk RC60is in my ceiling. Even though these will be hidden from view, I was amazed at how tight to the wall the actual speaker/cover was. They look amazing. It has an extremely low profile, even less than the other wall/ceiling Polk speakers I have. And the magnet covers are so easy to take off compared to all my other in-wall speakers. Installing them is easy (running the speaker wire can be the tricky part). What youll need: Tape measure Stud finder (highly recommended) Level Pencil Laser level (optional) Sheetrock saw (can get for like $4 @ a hardware store) *make sure you dont cut into any electrical, plumbing, cold-air return, etc. I installed these in the only room in my house that has a drop ceiling, so I was lucky and had a better idea of what I was dealing with. Still there are no guarantees you wont find any surprises until you actually cut the hole. If youre not comfortable doing this, I would recommend hiring a professional. *make sure to stay 1- 1.5 away from any stud. You want the tabs to fully install so you get a good hold.

Dont want to pay Bose prices but want a speaker set that can handle some wattage? You have your answer in these. Im running a lot of sound through these things and they are definitely handling business.

Great sounding speakers. Easy to install, and love the magnetic grills. I have them installed with a 255C-RT in the cetner and 65RTs in the rear, along with a Velodyne 10 sub. The system sounds great.

Husband is really happy

I was looking for a quality in-wall speaker with a good price, these fit the bill! We now have a cleaner look in our family room without compromising the sound. Room size: 19 x 16 x 10 tall ceilings. My set-up: Polk Audio: 2 Front Surrounds 265RT, 1 Center Channel 255C-RT, 2 Rear Surrounds 65RT, BIC America F12 Subwoofer. Onkyo TX-NR636. We listen to music & watch movies, both are great!

Awesome Speakers. I used these to replace my RTI A9s due to space. They sound amazing. You will need a sub. They have little to zero bass but that is not why we buy them. Clarity is very good. I am pumping them with a huge amp and they take a lot of abuse from me. You will not be let down as long as you power them. Dont think a cheap Sony will do anything for these. Get a real receiver or amp you will be happy.

Low profile and great sound
