I replaced a pair of Boston Acoustics for my new POLK AUDIO RC80i in ceiling speakers, you have to ensure you have the correct settings on your amp/avr or whatever it is you're connecting these to. in the master bedroom.
I want all of you to know i would purchase another pair of these speakers again. AND, hmn I think I may change them out for another pair of POLK AUDIO ceiling speakers.
I was surprised at the price that Amazon had these babies for, and I was even more surprised when I heard the sound. The sound rocks, I'm using a old PIONEER VSX-D812 which allows me to switch A or B speakers simultaneously or not cause I installed the B.A.
The specs on these speakers are great, you have to check this out. Especially the lower tones the base sounds are really thumping.
The only reason why I didn't score them a 5 star is because the instructions weren't specific enough as to which cut-out pattern to use, so my bro-n-law and I didn't want to take any chances, so we used the smaller pattern first only to find out we had to use the larger pattern cut-out, so live and learn right, for the second speaker installation it was much easier.
Great value and great service from Amazon. They were also recommended by Circuit City's firedog intstall team. Got these along with Polk RC65i's as front and center channel speakers and they are great. I have a full home theater set up with a panasonic 1080p projector 120 inch screens, so I did a lot of research before I got these.
I never did anything like this before and I'm completely amazed of the outcome. It is not to much more work to slowly chisel away to get that perfect fit though. You can't go wrong with the template, just make sure you go in the attic and clear out any insulation that might fall on you.This was my setup for the home theater and my wife and I are completely happy with the sound, look, and would purchase Polk Audio again.Front: RC80iSurround: RC60iBack Surround: RC60iCenter: CS1Sub: PSW505 I purchased these last December, 2007 from Amazon and after all these months I have been completely satisfied with the Polk Audio brand. I will agree with the others that the included templates make a tight fit.
I've only listened to music so far, but I am thrilled with my decision to use these. Removing the grills the first time is simple.if you read the instructions on how to do it. I know, in-ceiling is not "ideal" as defined by the audiophiles.but for a regular guy in the real world, I say these work great.
You get a template to use for cutting holes in the ceiling.use the right saw, and this is an easy process. Removing them later might be a bit trickier, but I wont need to get in there ever again, so who cares.Great speakers, and a great price. Mounting them is even easier.
I recently installed 4 of these speakers in my family room for our surround sound system. You mount these, and they all but disappear visually.Installation.I laugh at some of the people on there talking about having some hard times with this or that. Now stopping reading these reviews and just buy them.
Dont read all the hype by home theater "experts".well, not all of it anyway.I have a large, very open family room, and these speakers easily fill the room with very nice sound quality. Sound quality is great, and I dont have any ugly speakers hanging from my walls/ceilings.
Almost impossible to screw up installation. These speakers look great and sound great. I would certainly buy these again. The speakers put out great sound and the adjustible angle of the tweeters make customization of sound easy. I bought 4 sets of these to fill the house with. Super simple to install.
