 Polk, What do you expect June 19, 2008
It works, install easily and doesn't give a problem. Push it and it will fade at higher volumes, but as an inwall its a good performer. Keep it in a 1-1.5 cuft. environment and you'll be even happier you bought it. Whether bringing up the rear or working as a front or mid speaker..with a good receiver, properly tuned and a good sub, its a piece of cake. It'll return on its investment you can be sure.
 Outstanding Speaker June 19, 2008
These speaker delivery great surround sound. I used them for all four corners of my 5.1 surround. Installation was very easy, but just make sure that before you cut out the drywall that you make sure that you aren't over any part of a stud. I first cut a small pilot hole the size of my hand, then positioned the template to make sure the template wasn't covering a stud. ALSO, make sure you have about 1/2 inch clearance between the hole and a stud so that the mounting brackets can turn and have something to grab on to.
The instructions say to use a paperclip to pull off the screen from the speaker. Rather that poking a hole in the cloth under the grill and risk poking the speaker, I just carefully used my utility knife and gentlely pryed off the grill.
Love this June 18, 2008
I absolutely love it. I paired this with with Polk audio: CS2 center, 60 towers, RC85i wall souround, and RC80i in ceiling for back surround. With a large living room and cathedral ceilings, and an ONKYO SR805 to push them, these speakers provide an excellent home theater/music experience.
CONS: Make sure you get a subwoofer seperately (not really a con, more of a requirement)
Square is great. Round is better. June 18, 2008
I just ordered my second pair of square RC65i Polk speakers. They are really good speakers for the price. Especially Amazon's price. I paid $249 for my first pair at a big name retailer locally. I went with the square 65i's because they fit my application better and looked better in my media room, but the round Polk speakers, like the RC60i's are actually a better speaker. The sound and components of the round RC60i's are just a bit better and provide a better overall audio experience (just compare them side by side at any store and you'll hear the difference).
But having said that, ALL Polk speakers are great. I have enjoyed my RC65i's. They install easily with simple wire stripping and insert type install. The speakers clips easily clamp onto the wall and the provided wall cut-outs make installing easy. But I do agree with one of the other reviews that said they are a bit more difficult to remove. If you unscrew the clip screws just a bit too much then the clips fall off and are difficult to reinstall.
But as for sound quality and over manufacturing quality, you just can't beat Polk. So if you have no space or design conflicts, I would go with the round RC60i or RC80i's (just a size difference). If not, then these RC65i's are a great deal.
Great sound for the size/price. June 9, 2008
We just completed a kitchen renovation, which included ceiling speakers tied into the home theater system.
The main system has Klipsh Ref Series 5's, which do a tremendous job no matter what type of music you push to them. The Polks in the kitchen sound rich, crisp, and full. For the money, these are just great speakers, period.
