Running this system with a Denon AVR-1909, 2 extra RM101s and a Polk PSW505 sub (also from Amazon at a great price) for 7.1 home theater audio in a 18 X 21 room. Dialog, explosions, you name it; everything sounds crisp, clear, and immersive. Easy to wall mount, and the fit and finish is great! A great buy for this price!

I replaced the existing small Onkyo speakers that came with my Onkyo home theater system, I had read many positive reviews on these Polk Audio speakers and couldn't wait to try them. What a surprise when I hooked them up. My system came to life with crisp and clean sound. My system sounds so much better. I am hearing subtle sounds that just were not audible before. Every time I turn on my tv I can't help to notice the rich sound. I think the price on the five speakers was very fair for what you receive. I kept my Onkyo powered sub which seems to work fine with the other five matched speakers. I had no problem attaching them to my existing speaker stands. These speakers have some weight to them but they are fine with the stands. So don't look any further than these Polk Audio's for the best sound.

I replaced a rather large set of Sony surround sound speakers with these little marvels. (the wife said they took up too much room) At first listen I was thoroughly impressed. Coupled with the Polk Audio PSW111 subwoofer, my living room has never sounded better. I'm most impressed with the clarity of the center channel.

My Set-up:

TV: Vizio XVT series 42"
RECEIVER: Sony STR-DH700
BLUE RAY: Sony BDP-S360
SPEAKERS: Polk Audio surround RM10 set w/ PSW111 Subwoofer

I picked up a refurbished set directly from Polk for a solid discount and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I have them hooked up to my Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver using 16 AWG speaker wire and they sound great in my living room which is approximately 10' x 12'.

I feel that these satellites go low enough that I don't absolutely need a subwoofer. I live on the third floor in an apartment complex so I didn't want a subwoofer because I wouldn't be able to really use it much. However, I generally don't like overpowering bass so if you're a basshead, you might not agree with me on this. For reference, I generally prefer Sennheiser headphones because I like the tighter, cleaner bass that they produce.

I'm not an audiophile so I can't really describe every detail of the sound, but I watched a couple DVDs and Blu-rays and I'm more than satisfied. The scores sounded great, the dialogue was clear and easy to hear, and there was just enough bass to be effective without shaking my walls and disturbing my neighbors.

Overall, I think these speakers are incredible value for the money. A lot of retailers seem to have these on sale so they might be getting phased out, but speakers don't really get outdated like electronics do, so I think it's a great time to pick up a set if you're in the market for a good surround sound system.

I loved this set so much, I didn't stop. Got another pair and a 10" woofer too. The cost is great, and the sound too, and they look good and take up no room. Hanging or post mounts work out just fine. One center, two fronts, four surrounds and a Polk woofer too. Loving it! Wait... Is it thundering outside? No its Polking inside!
