Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
The Polk Audio RC65i 2-way In-wall Speaker delivers incredible sound to any room in your home without using any floor or shelf space. The RC65i 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-wall speaker to virtually disappear in the room.

The Polk RC65i utilizes a 6.5-inch dynamic-balance, mineral filled polymer-composite cone with a rubber surround that outlasts cheaper foam surrounds, as well as a 0.75-inch dynamic-balance, metalized soft dome tweeter with a 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 durable, moisture resistant materials, the RC65i is safe for use in bathrooms, kitchens, saunas, or even under outdoor eaves, and features a wide-dispersion design for even sound-coverage throughout even large rooms. The RC65i also features infinite baffle tuning which uses the virtual enclosure of in-wall space for superior bass response, and is timbre-matched to the Polk Audio Monitor Series for seamless, enveloping imaging when used in a home theater system.

Customer Reviews

Great sound for the size/price.5
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.

Perfect ceiling speakers at a bargain price.5
No one had these speakers cheaper than Amazon and we needed ceiling speakers for 3 bedrooms wired for audio from a central source.

We bought 3 pair and couldn't be more pleased. Had to paint the paint-ready grills and speaker edges from their "dark" white color to the ceiling white, but that was also real easy as the speakers come w/ templates that perfectly cover the actual parts you don't want to paint.

They sound great, but are a little "underdriven" by our relatively weak amplifier/receiver. That's good news for folks w/ stronger receivers! I also do not find a problem w/ absence of bass as some reviews have noted. Sure bass is lacking...they aren't subwoofers! We have no problems hearing the bass from these speakers.

Along w/ the impedence matching volume controls in each bedroom, the whole setup is superb. FYI...we got our volume controls from MCM Electronics...fantastic price ($29.95 each) white slider controls w/ impedence matching...there aren't any this good and this cheap anywhere on Amazon. Check MCM for a HUGE selection of volume controls!
