Home > Consumer Reviews > Polk Audio RM101 Satellite Speaker (Single, Black)

As a longtime Polk user I bought these for my rear surround to go with my Polk SDA2's for the front and a Polk center, replacing my previous Polk rear surrounds that I bought used and were starting to deteriorate. These are my 3rd set of rear surrounds and by far the best, I had no idea what I had been missing until I hooked these up in both sound quality and the amount of surround information. They are also quite nice looking and heavy for their small size and come with wall mount brackets. The sound matches my much larger Polk fronts very well even though these were actually designed as part of a complete sat/sub package. At less than $60 each these were the least expensive Polk option available, and I doubt one could find a better surround option for less money.

Absolutely great product. Switched the speakers and it sounds much better now. So far nothing but good things to say about polk.

I was looking for a small speaker to go with the new flat screen. One that would not be so bulky and boxy like the Klipsch bookshelf speakers i was replacing. I did not want to buy a complete system since i already had a Klipsch powered subwoofer and Bose rear channel. These fit the bill perfectly. Great sound from a small package and they work well with my system. ordering and shipping was easy and they arrived in perfect condition.
Thanks Amazon!

Good speakers.
They took quite some bedding-in, more so than other speakers.

I won't comment in detail on their sound quality because I have not been able to give them a fair crack of the whip: they're satellites in a second room and I'm powering them through 30 feet of 14AWG. It's not fair assess them under such extreme conditions.

I warn to be careful of the colour, because Amazon showed me a silver speaker but described it as black. I went on the photo, not on the decriptions, and received black ones. The retialer (not amazon) was great, though, and swapped them at no charge.
