Great sound, simple to add or change out. Small and black so it hides easily.

Just received this little monster yesterday and all I can say is wow! I have 2 Polk Monitor 50s and had an old 3 piece sony set for my center and rears. I wanted to get a smaller set that looked sleek, but more importantly sounded good! I am HIGHLY satisfied with this center speaker! Put in Transformers last night..wow! Ordered 2 Polk RM7 sats for the rears, coming next week!! If you are looking for a small center channel that looks amazing, but ever better sounds amazing, this is the one for you!

I don’t know if JG’s review was for the RM8 or RM7. I bought these when I re-did my home 7.1 theater system. I have this as a center channel, 2 pair of the larger RM8 satellites for front and side, and a pair of RM7 satellites for the rear. I like the sub/sat types of systems as I don’t loose any floor space using towers. As long as you get a stellar sub, these work amazingly well. The dispersion is fantastic, completely fills our large living room with sound. Whether it’s a Blu-Ray movie or a satellite radio channel, it all sounds amazing.

I listened to this speaker carefully for 3 weeks before deciding to exchange it for a better one. It wasn’t bad, but the highs were weak and some of the mid-range notes sounded harsh and distorted to my ears. I was not happy with my choice, so I went back to check the stats to see what made me decide to buy it, and that’s when I realized my mistake; I thought I was buying the larger Polk model that looked the same as this one.
