I purchased this speaker to compliment a 7.1 in wall/in ceiling surround sound system. I purchased the following speakers and receiver:Polk Audio 255C-RT (Center)Polk 265-LS x 2 (Front Sides)Polk 80F/X-RT x 4 (Surround and Surround Back)Polk HTS 12 (Subwoofer)Denon AVR-x3600H (Receiver)While it is hard to come up with an individual review for each speaker, they work very well as a system. They sound decent out of the box. One of my main concerns was how well it would sound having mix and matched LS and RT into the same speaker setup. Upon the following process, those concerns were swiftly laid to rest. Once you get your initial sound set up configured (Audyssey if you are using a newer Denon receiver), tweak the crossovers and play around with other options – these speakers sound amazing once you get the right configuration. If you want to get the most out of these speakers, make sure you lay them out properly and go through the process of tweaking them to your liking. I installed the front and center channels on the wall, and the surround and surround back speakers in the ceiling. These are very easy to install. Most of your time will be spent on the layout of your speakers and potentially running speaker wire.

I’m probably like most costumers never write reviews but with this speaker I feel like I should put a word in. I’m very impressed with the quality of the sound definitely a 5 star purchase

East to install, for the most part. Sounds great. Matches well with my Polk tower speakers and my Polk in-ceiling surrounds. Should have done this years ago. Made a huge difference.

Bought this when we moved into our new house 3 months ago to go with a pair of rc85i’s (in wall) for the fronts and rt85i’s (in ceiling) for surrounds, powered by an Onkyo 636. Is this the best sound system I’ve ever heard? No. Is it good enough to impress me on a regular basis? It sure is. Easy install. Seamless look. Great sound for movies and music on a space/cost budget. Just don’t plan to put them in a wall that is shared with a room that needs to be quiete as sound bleed through is pretty noticeable. Your results may vary but adding insulation to my walls did little to reduce the problem. Thankfully my wall is shared with a hallway so it is not much of a problem

I was so excited to finally have in-wall speakers. This center channel was easy to install, it fits flush and turned out just as I was hoping. This center speaker sounds great and makes for a real theater experience in our basement entertainment room. I sprayed the grill black, which looks nice, and I plan on color matching to the wall in the future.

I bought a house with a normal-size living (okay…it’s small). The house was pre-wired for surround-sound and a co-worker of mine who used to perform as a musician for a living recommended these speakers. He stated that you cannot beat the sound and quality for the size and price. He was absolutely correct. These are perfect for my living room that is approximately 12×15. I have this center speaker and two Polk Audio RC65i 2-way and two Polk Audio RC80i 2-way in ceiling speakers. By the way, I am so glad that I had someone put them in the ceiling. I had several people tell me that it is okay to mount them on the wall. I didn’t want crap hanging from my ceiling. I have higher ceilings, but they certainly aren’t 20-foot ceilings. I whole-heartedly recommend the speakers – and putting them in the ceiling if you are able to.

super easy install, hardest part was determining a spot to avoid studs in wall. i could not center it because of a stud in wall, offset it and it blends in so not a big issue. Sound – i replaced a center channel that was in my ceiling, which caused muffled voices. This really improved the sound quality. i am not a sound geek, just wanted solid sound when watching movies and TV. i am sure any speaker would have improved the sound but this was a good price, sounds good and was easy to install.

Replaced this Polk in wall speaker for previous Sonnance/Sonos center channel speaker. I use my system primarily for TV sound clarity and secondarily for stereo sound. Vocal clarity of the Polk 255c-RT is much better than the Sonos. Also cannot stress the need for insulation sound dampening behind and around your speakers. I think wall vibration muddies up the sound clarity.
