Excellent quality and sound

Polk! Always good.

Cant say enough good things! I bought 12. Six to use in my 7.1 dedicated media room, and six to use in my 7.1 living room that doubles as my SONOS whole house audio system. Whether its music I want to hear crystal clear, or chase scene from a Dolby Atmos movie, the speakers are fabulous!

arrived fine. sound very good with the right amp.... but... if you want it to sound not as flat...build a box enclosure for it.... sounds better with a box enclosure...Polk used to sell one specifically for these speakers..... but many are making one similar themselves.. you really need a good amp to push them to get the sound they were designed for out of them . remember these are mid bass and high speakers..... so dont expect a lot of low base out of them

Mine work with a help of a little sub.

I ordered all of the components of my theater system upfront so when I was running wires, cutting holes, etc. I would have everything at my finger tips. I didnt read that after 30 days you cant return anything - even if you got a defective product. Given the timeline for most DIYers this is too short of a period of time. When I called Polk to see if they would honor their warranty, they refused to send me a new speaker and instead send me some parts and expected to be disassemble and repair.

I love these speakers!! I use the for my rears in a 7.1 setup with some Klipsch Towers up front powered by a Denon and these speakers can handle everything I throw at them!!

This is the first of 2 reviews. I received my two (2) In-wall 265RT speakers from Amazon on Friday afternoon. Opened the shipping box over the weekend and as always, Amazon did a great job of packing the speakers in bubble wrap within a larger box. Unfortunately, one of the individual speaker manufacturer boxes looked like it had been dropped pretty hard (see pics) while the other box was pristine. For what I paid per speaker, Im really hoping BOTH work without issue. I have a contractor installing them later this week. Ill let you know how it turns out.

I am using the 265RT speakers as my center and 2 fronts for my home theater. They installed easy and sound great. I would highly recommend purchasing these if you are looking for a moderately priced speaker that will knock your socks off.

Love my new surround sound system!!
