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

Love it! Love it! Really brings out the sound in the room. Couldnt be happier.

I am using these as my FL/FR speakers in a 7.1 system. These speakers are truly amazing! They were easy to install and have amazing sonic depth for the price. The Dual speakers really enable a much richer sound than a single speaker can afford. Highly recommend!

Purchased these for a theater room. They look and sound great.

I must be missing something here based on the other reviewers. Solid build. For the cost, these are basically what you are paying for in terms of sound and receiving a little more in terms of features and build quality. They look very clean when installed properly. So overall above average value. I knew I would be sacrificing a little with the lack of enclosure on the rear but overall impressed with how its managed. Definitely not blown away but not crying about it either. Definitely recommend tossing some audio insulation around the rear of these. Its cheap, youre ripping your wall to shreds anyway and it goes a long way. Sound is well balanced but definitely requires a sub to complete any kind of true depth, as with pretty much any in-walls for entertainment systems. You defintely need to tweak your receiver settings to get these to your liking. Play around with your levels until you say ahhh, thats it. Default usually isnt the winner. Read the couple paragraphs in the manual regarding the 2 wall distance and tweeter filter as well. The wall distance switch matters most and for most its going to be over 2. My tweeter filter is on given the acoustics of the room, but presumably most people will want it off. The sound itself, once tweaked (Im using a brand new Denon receiver) is what you would expect from a speaker that costs this much. The other reviewers...I dont know. I just dont agree with what many have said in regards to the final product. They sound good but I am not doing cartwheels. The room we tossed them in definitely wasnt getting the GoldenEar budget which is why I purchased them. At the end of the day if you can spend a little more I would look at in-wall enclosed or ultra slim on-wall options or Speakercraft makes some reasonably priced 3 ways that plop in your wall just as these do. Overall I am not disappointed but not going crazy like many other people here. No my objective to be a Debbie Downer but wanted to give a more realistic review than what is posted here. I know I would have appreciated reading it.

Having an issue with a POLK product I purchased and they torture you to diagnose the problem when I already know the issue - will never buy another POLK product ever - back to BOSE for me

Pols speakers are very good

very good sounding speaker I would buy again in a instant my setup is a Marantz 6012 in a 5.1.4 setup I run the 265 rt speakers on all 4 corners then I use the 80 r/x rt for my atmos in ceiling and a svs pb 2000 sub and the 255c rt and it the best sounding setup I could have ever hoped for it is truly I life like sound full all around high quality sound and they just look amazing I have yet to put the covers on cause they have such a great look and build quality

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!

Exactly as they advertised. Sounds amazing.

Top of the line speakers. Bought these for front left and rights. Port works well. Super easy install and clean finish.
