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 arent 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 wasnt 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.

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)

Running with my Denon AVR888, polk CSI 3 center and PSW303 sub. Sounds great. Highs and mids are clear and crisp. Adjustable tweeter helps to aim sound towards user if seating is not center of soundstage as in my case.

There couldnt have been a better experience installing these speakers. Very easy to install. I had all four speakers installed within an hour. The sound is rich and dynamic. I am very happy with the value and performance.

I purchased four of these in-wall speakers and very pleased with the high end sound reproduction. They compliment my new 5.1 Polk Audio system that is pure Polk Audio perfection. These speakers blend into the wall so nicely. The installation is fairly basic and the sound is full and rich that you would expect with tower speakers that use up considerable floor space. I would absolutely recommend these High Quality in-wall Polk Audio speakers. Polk Audio and Amazon.com are a winning combination.

When I finally finished fishing all of the speaker wire and adding a rear set of RC55is I was floored upon pumping about 100 watts of juice into these speakers. Amazingly distortion free and crisp clear sounding which is the same quality I got on the pair of Polk car speakers that were installed in my Chevy Silverado. If you can justify the cost and want to eliminate the clutter free standing speakers cause buy, you wont be dissappointed,

Speakers arrived in perfect condition. They were relatively simple to install, and they work very well. Tweeter is aim-able. Speakers achieve fantastic high and mid-range frequencies - they sound clear and crisp. Low frequency response is good (but not amazing by any stretch). These were my first Polk Audio speakers, and I would definitely buy them again.
