Home > Consumer Reviews > Polk Audio RM10 Speaker System (Set of Five, Black)

I purchased this set of speakers to replace my Onkyo speakers that came with HT-S6100. I am not a sound engineer, but I knew I was missing something from those Onkyo speakers. I got RM10, hooked them all up and WOW, what's a difference. They sound much better then the Onkyo speakers. Of course, you still can't compare these to Bose that cost hundreds more. But for $300 for all 5 speakers, it is a very good buy.

Speakers came well packed and quickly. Very easy to install w/ wall templates. Not really made to be mounted on the ceiling, though. Sound is impressive. A great deal!

This group of speakers produce a great sound. I contemplated buying all separate speakers and paying a lot more, but since this setup was only for the bedroom, I decided to purchase a packaged home theater set. They may not be comparable to high end speakers but they sound great to me. The receiver I purchased only puts out 40W channel so these speakers make a nice fit. (But, it does look like they are rated to take up to 100W) I am happy with the purchase and would do it again. The price was great also. The speakers are all nice and heavy and really well made. This package did not include a subwoofer. So, I am now in the process of buying one. Some may not care for adding on a subwoofer, but I enjoy the completed sound it gives.

In summary if you are considering this package it is a good value for the money. I paid $217 including S&H charges.

I heard these speakers at a local retail store, and had very crystal clear highs which really impressed me out of these speakers. i saw the tag on them and were $600, way to much to upgrade my speakers that came with my HTIB. so i checked amazon and saw them at an incrediable deal for $197! i been wanting these things for my room, which bout 14' x 14' not bad size. and like i expected these things punch real loud mids and highs at crystal clear sounds, my receiver is kinda lacking their potential(yamaha htr-5935), compared to the better onkyo avr powering these things at the store. but will soon upgrade my reciever to feed em better watts and sound. overall you will be amazingly surprised how well these perform. and highly recomend them for a room where u dont have alot of space for towers and bulky bookshelf speakers. these things are really solid and little bit bigger and heavier then they appear, really well built. just check out polkaudio.com to get full specs on these and the rm20's (which is the center that comes with this package). if you already have a sub, like i did,(Velodyne vrp1000, not bad sub for my size room) these speakers a definate MUST! at its price, thanks

fyi: they come with screwable mounting brackets for all the speakers and screws are provided.

The clarity and warmth of these speakers really impress me every time I turn on my system. Paired with my Onkyo surround receiver, I am very happy with the purchase. The speakers are heavy for their size and feel very solid. It's tough to tell from the picture, but the ports are on the top angled surface, and the speaker grill has a port diffuser to disperse the sound. I bought them when they were on sale for $199; if they were regular price I would probably have had a harder time pulling the trigger. The wall mounting plates are average, a keyhole hanger design. It would be nice if they were designed to anchor to speaker stands; I had to use double sided adhesive on the bottom of the speaker to secure mine.
