Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Intended for front or surround channel use within a Polk RM series speaker system, the RM201--which is sold and packaged singly--is sleek and stylized, with a sculpted anodized-aluminum enclosure that looks terrific next to a plasma or flat-screen TV. The speaker offers more than just a pretty face, however. The unique shape also breaks up internal standing wave resonance, helping create a pure, more lifelike sound, while the PowerPort venting and dynamic balance technologies produce rich, full-bodied, big-speaker results from a compact housing. As part of a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 speaker system, the RM201 helps create a dramatic sound stage for DVDs while giving music CDs--especially SACD and other multichannel formats--unparalleled depth.

The RM201 is equipped with dual 3.5-inch polymer composite cone midrange drivers for clear, distortion-free midrange and a high-performance 0.75-inch silk/polymer composite dome tweeter for sweet, crisp highs. The PowerPort venting, which hides under the grille, also extends and strengthens the lower midrange performance to ensure a seamless blend with the subwoofer output. The result is a midrange with no "hole" between the satellite and sub frequencies, helping male vocals sound rich and full rather than thin and weak (as with most other sub/sat systems). The sound also disperses broadly throughout the room so everyone can enjoy the results regardless of where they're sitting.

Additional features include a swivel bracket with a hidden wire channel for efficient wall-mounting; threaded inserts on the back of the satellite for listeners who prefer fully articulating mounting brackets (sold separately); an included stand for shelf or cabinet placement; and high-quality five-way binding post connections for the best possible sound. And to top it off, the speaker is magnetically shielded against video interference, so you can place it near your state-of-the-art TV or video monitor without worrying about image distortion. The speaker, which measures 4.5 by 12.5 by 5.06 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a five-year warranty.

Unbelievable!
I picked up a pair of these to run off of my computer. I'm listening an mp3 on em right now, hooked up to a junk amp meant to power a set of logitec surround speakers and all I can say is wow! Given higher quality power and a better source (dvd audio or CD) it could only get better from here.

I've owned piles of really expensive stereo equipment home/auto and have been through about 4 different surround systems for my computer. I can tell you that you can junk the 5.1 or 7.1 computer surround systems. None sound even 1/2 as good a pair of these Polks.

One thing you also dont really have to worry about is price. Polk pretty much price fixes everything so the cost here on Amazon is going to be as good as anywhere you look. Free shipping wouldnt hurt either! For a bit over 3 bills you cannot go wrong on a pair.

Rock Speaker Review
The speakers are great...easy installation and they sound fantastic. We are very pleased with the quality at such a great price.

great speakers!
awesome sound for a small to medium space. you can't beat the price and hook up is so simple. i love my speakers.

These speakers exceeded my expectations
Wow - These speakers far exceeded my expectations and actually put out decent sound. Because they sit on the ground you can turn them up louder without having to worry about irritating the neighbors.

To install I simply drilled a 3/8" hole through the living room wall and ran speaker wire to the outside patio through a plastic coaxial guide. I then crimped the speaker wire from the house to the speaker wire of the rock speakers.

I couldn't be happier. Now I can listen to my turntable while outside on the patio :-)

Best Deal for 5 speakers set up
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.

Great little system
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.

Great sound, value and looks!
I got these to go along with a flat panel, PS3 and dayton 10" sub so I could enjoy blueray movies, NASCAR, music and the occasional game. After using them for a few weeks I may never leave the house for entertainment again.

They are small and come with some mounting plates for the wall. I used these for the front three but opted to use omni mounts for the back because of the shape of my room.

I have no regrets, would buy this again and only wish they sold a 7 speaker set because adding two individual speakers cost more than half the price of all five.

Amazon.com Product Description
The name "Monitor" is special to Polk Audio. The original Polk Audio Monitor Series, produced in the mid-1970s, ushered in the modern loudspeaker era by setting the standard for performance and value. The original Monitor Series is the line that made Polk Audio famous with its simple, sturdy construction, clear, accurate sound, powerful bass and superior imaging all at a price that made great sound available to everyone.

The newly reborn Monitor Series is classic Polk: a quality-built, affordable line of high performance loudspeakers for music and home theater. They are highly efficient, so they can be driven by unpretentious receivers, and they are voice matched for lifelike surround sound environments. The Monitor Series boasts a stylish contemporary look, modern titanium faces, and bold stabilizer feet on the tower models. Built for speed, sound quality and value, the Monitor Series is a great introduction to high performance sound.

The CS1 center speaker has been designed to be the perfect match for Monitor Series speakers in multi-channel systems. The CS1 features a high efficiency design to reveal the classic Polk Audio sound (open, spacious and clear) even when driven by modestly-powered amplifiers and receivers.

The 1" (25mm) fabric/polymer composite dynamic balance dome tweeter with powerful neodymium magnet structure delivers clear and detailed high frequency response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments. Ultimate flexibility comes via the reversible-design cabinets that can be turned upside down to aim up when placed under a video monitor.

Customer Reviews

Great center speaker
I bought this to join with my Polk Monitor 50s and it works great. Dialogue sounds much clearer. I still have to turn up the center speaker's volume because a lot of movie soundtracks STILL like to drown out their dialogue with sound effects and make the dialogue volume low and the sound effects blast. It looks great and is somewhat huge compared to my flat RCA speaker.

The only con is that the speaker rises slightly above the bottom of my LCD TV screen, so I have to put a cushion under me or find some way to place it lower (they are both on one table right now).

Fantastic product!
I bought this center speaker to complement my Polk R50s and R150s.
Perfect combo at the best price. Amazon did it again!

Polk Audio CS1 with BOSE supporting cast
I was using a Bose double cube for my center channel. It was weak, and insufficient. I decided to go with the PA CS1, wow what a difference. Great sound at a lower volume. Vocals are clear and defined. I tested the unit listening to that "movie previews guy" voice. EXACTLY like it is in the theater. AMAZING. Even regular TV voices/narration sound waaay better, (I watch alot of NGEO, TruTV, Discovery etc.) programs that have lots of narration.
One note, it's big. But if your TV is 50in or larger, it looks decent. I think if it was with a smaller TV 42 in or smaller it would look overwhelming. If you have a large rear projection TV >60in, like I do, it looks great sitting on top of it, like a "beefed" up version of your TV. I like this look personally. Maybe it's a guy thing. I wouldn't get this if you don't like big speakers, and want to be discrete about it. But I'm personally convinced you will NOT get the same sound out of a BOSE center channel than you would with this. BOSE double cubes are great for surround, but that center channel was weak.

Clean, clear, and good price
This is my first foray (actually it was a gift) into Polk Audio merchandise. I am pleased with the crisp, clear, and detailed high frequency sound it emits. It has considerable resolution and articulation that helps deliever lifelike representations of vocals and instruments. There is virtually no distortion, and it sits above my T.V., which sometimes speakers and T.V.s will play interference with each other, but not this monitor. I have it hooked up to my Sony STR-DE697 Receiver, and it has been able with great clarity to handle high volumes. This is a great buy, even if you have a modest receiver

Really Good stuff Man!
This speaker replaced cheap radio shack center channel,that never really gave decent sound. Especially dialog on movie soundtracks... My wife would always say"What did he just say?" or "I can't hear them " etc. Haven't had that problem anymore. Made the biggest sound differece in speaker setup because so much of dolby 5.1 is though the center speaker. This got a good review in CNET rated 7 of 10. it is really well built and quite large. 16x7x9in It fit in my setup but might be too large for some tastes.. But the sound is VERY clear and accurate, Great for sports movies and music too, its a good choice without going broke..

Worth every dollar
I purchaced this speaker along with four Polk Monitor 30 satalites, a Pioneer VSX-1017TXV-K receiver, and a Velodyne VX-10 sub about two months ago. I did tons of research and read hundreds of reviews for about a month before I pulled the trigger. The center channel sound is a perfect match (to no surprise) with the other Polk Monitor speakers. The sound is warm and crisp, but not too bright. Voices sound natural and well defined. When watching a movie, it really feels like i'm in a theater. My budget was 900 dollars and I can't believe what I was able to get. Through my research, I don't think you can do much(if any) better for 900 dollars.

Customer Reviews

Great bass, nice appearance
I was replacing crummy, but reliable large old RCA speakers. These L/R Polk speakers fit in nicely around my Samsung LCD. I can't have too loud sounds because I'm in an apartment. I actually had to turn the bass down on the Onkyo receiver because of these speakers! They fill the room better and sound richer.

I got a Polk CS1 center speaker with these and they all sound great! Good for a budget, but not budget-sounding.

Not bad at these prices...
The Polk website lists these babies at a whopping four hundred sixty bucks MSRP...now if you're paying anywhere near that, I'd say you're nuts because there's far better speakers available at that pricepoint. Luckily the street prices on the Polk Monitor line keep dropping, perhaps due to fierce competition from both high-quality Internet-direct manufacturers like av123, Ascend, SVS, Hsu, etc. and as more speakers are now produced in cut-rate China, such as the Usher Audio S-520. At the one hundred thirty bucks shipped each price that Amazon currently has them at, however, this is an excellent value---mainly because these being floorstanding rather than bookshelf speakers, you don't have to spend any money on speaker stands, which would start at around eighty to a hundred bucks and negate any price advantage of bookshelf speakers.

The Monitor 50 is basically identical to the Monitor 40 in terms of not only having the same two 5.25" mid-woofers and 1" silk tweeter, but surprisingly the much larger cabinet of the 50 does not seem to give you any extra bass extension: both the 40 and the 50 are listed by Polk as going down to 57Hz, which means that having a powered subwoofer is highly recommended, especially if you are using these speakers for home theater (DVDs)---and particularly if you watch a lot of big-budget action flicks where the subwoofer really makes or breaks your system, particularly in a large open space.

For critical music listening, the Polk Monitor is decent, but hardly anything to write home about. That's "critical music listening"---wherein one sits in front of the speakers and listens intently to the nuances, details, balance and tonality of the musical output, in contrast to casual listening where you're perhaps preparing a meal in the kitchen at the same time, or dusting the furniture, etc. Critical music listeners, look elsewhere, and be prepared to spend at least two hundred fifty to four hundred dollars for a truly good pair of bookshelf speakers such as the Infinity Beta 20s or Ascend CBM-170s.

For everyone else, meaning those who mainly watch DVDs, TV, and play video games, the Monitor series will be plenty adequate. The silk tweeters give you decent detail, the 89db sensitivity means that you don't need some massive super-powerful amp to drive these, and the double-woofer d'Apollito (midwoof-tweeter-midwoof) design of the Monitor 50 and 40 will give you a nice full midrange and room-filling output.

Quality sound for the price
I love the speakers, great sound and affordable prices. I would definitely recommend this speaker.

Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
The Polk Audio RC80i 2-way In-ceiling Speaker delivers incredible stereo sound to any room in your home from speakers you can barely see, without using any floor or shelf space. The RC80i is easy to install, requiring only that you cut a hole, feed the wires through, and simply drop the speaker in where it is held in place by rotating cams that safely secure the speaker with no extra assembly or mess. Once installed, the paintable grille and flange allows this in-ceiling speaker to virtually disappear in the room.

The Polk RC80i utilizes a eight-inch dynamic-balance, mineral filled polymer-composite cone with a rubber surround that outlasts cheaper foam surrounds, as well as a one-inch ring-radiator tweeter with a 15-degree swivel mount. The swivel-mounted tweeter is aimable for direct high frequency control that ensures spacious imaging with amazing clarity, and well-balanced sound in any listening position, even off-axis listening positions, rather than in just a small sweet spot. Constructed of rust resistant hardware and durable, moisture resistant materials, the RC80i is safe for use in bathrooms, kitchens, saunas, or even under outdoor eaves, and a glass-filled composite baffle that provides a dense, acoustically inert platform for the speaker's high end components. This unit features strong composite driver baskets that keep moving parts in rigid alignment, a wide-dispersion design for even sound-coverage throughout even large rooms, and a wall-distance toggle switch that flattens frequency response when installation requires placement near a corner or adjacent wall. The RC80i also features a tweeter-level switch that lets you tailor the highs for your room acoustics, and is timbre-matched to the Polk Audio Monitor Series for seamless, enveloping imaging when used in a home theater system.

What's in the Box
RC80i speakers (pair), 2 grilles, 2 cardboard templates with paint masks, owner's manual, and registration card.

Polk Audio Celing speakers
Polk Audio RC80i 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers (Pair, White)
I replaced my BOZE 141 rear speakers with these in ceiling speakers and am quite pleased with the results. I had not used Polk Audio before and was concerned that they would not preform as good as the BOZE. The BOZE were not bad but only had an 80 watt handling range where the Polk have a 120 watt range. Now the sound from the rear speakers is a lot richer than before. I am well pleased.

improved my setup and easy to install
First, they were very easy to install. Second, I enjoy good quality sound, but I'm also not dumb enough to take out a second mortgage to get it. They are a great compromise for someone on a budget, yet wants something more than the cheap speakers can offer. They are much better than what I had.

I like them so much, I'm thinking about installing in-wall speakers for the front and center too.

Excellent speakers for the price
Don't spend thousands of dollars building out your surround & surround back channels - these speakers get the job done! Installation is a snap - I had four speakers installed in the back of my living room in less than an hour. Sound is phenomenal - I just can't see paying hundreds of dollars PER SPEAKER when you can get this great-sounding pair @ such a low price. These are great for surround or whole home sound - definitely a good buy.

At least they make a sound
Got these for free with my Sonos system. The price made them an extra star.
No base to mention, sharp high and mid sound make them sit in our 4 year daughters room playing audio farie-tales. They work there.

Aaaah polkaholic.
Monitor Series (front and center) brought blu-ray live. Loss less Dolby compression with monitor series in the front, i needed a rear set to match them. What a great find. Got these from frys for 50$ a pair. It took some time to break-in. These are amazing speakers, it can go low (60-65 Hz). It frees up the sub, so that sub can play the super low 20-30 Hz loud and clear. I also tested these as fronts, they can handle very well. At low to medium volumes they show their build quality. Dont try to push it too hard. Use it as a book shelf in a small room or as rear speakers. Timber matched polk living room is bar none.

outstandind performance and value
The R150 speakers are outstanding.
The entire line of products; from their budget conceous to their top end, are amoung the industries best.
I have been employed in the consumer products service industry for 38 years. Polk Audio has adeveloped and maintained one of the industries best products and reputations for many decades.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Give your movies and music the rich, powerful audio they deserve with the Polk Audio PSW10 powered subwoofer. Hailing from Polk's reborn Monitor series--which ushered in the modern loudspeaker era in the mid-1970s--the sub combines quality construction with high-end performance, all for a price that won't break the bank. The PSW10 is equipped with a 10-inch polymer-composite cone driver that creates tight, musical bass, along with state-of-the-art laser-based Klippel measurement technology to perfectly center the voice coil within the magnetic field. The Klippel technology improves the linearity of the frequencies to ensure a deep, precise sound for everything from action-movie explosions to cello musical passages.

Adding to the quality is the non-resonant medium-density fiberboard (MDF) enclosure, the 0.75-inch baffles, and the internal bracing, all of which contribute to the sub's superior detail, accuracy, and musicality. Meanwhile, the PSW10's built-in high-current amplifier (50 watts RMS, 100 watts dynamic) supplies all the power you need for big bass, while the adjustable low-pass crossover, phase switch, and volume control make it easy to blend your sub's output with your front and rear speakers. The sub even includes automatic signal-sensing circuitry, meaning it knows when to turn itself on and off.

Though the PSW10 will work with any speakers, the sub specifically designed to complement the clean, stylish look and robust sounds of Polk's entire Monitor speaker line. The black oak finish is particularly compelling, with a style that fits seamlessly with most modern furnishings.

Connectivity stems from the line- and speaker-level inputs, along with the unfiltered LFE input. The combined options make it easy to connect the PSW10 with any receiver or amplifier. And movie fans will delight in the magnetic shielding, which protects nearby TVs and video monitors from video distortion. Measuring 14 by 14.38 by 16.12 inches (W x H x D) and backed by a five-year warranty on the speaker and a three-year warranty on the internal amp, the PSW10 makes a great introduction to powerful home theater sound.

Good value
For 100 dollars this subwoofer is more than enough for my bedroom.I listen to christian music all the time.

Small room base fix
Great addition to the small home theater. 16'X20' most movies require only 1/2 volume. Great throw, although I typicaly prefer a bottom firing Sub. Great value, solid polk construction. Allows you the option of reducing the base in the louds and rears cranking the sub for a wide seperation of ranges if your processor has a delay you can acheive that big IMAX sound! that is if you nieghbors will put up with you.

Excellent sub!!
Compare this sub side by side with a yamaha and a JBL, this one has much lower bass and clear sound, highly recommend!!
