Customer Reviews

Good speaker for the money5
I was looking for a small speaker to go with the new flat screen. One that would not be so bulky and boxy like the Klipsch bookshelf speakers i was replacing. I did not want to buy a complete system since i already had a Klipsch powered subwoofer and Bose rear channel. These fit the bill perfectly. Great sound from a small package and they work well with my system. ordering and shipping was easy and they arrived in perfect condition.
Thanks Amazon!

Great product!5
Absolutely great product. Switched the speakers and it sounds much better now. So far nothing but good things to say about polk.




Good but watch out for the colours!4
Good speakers.
They took quite some bedding-in, more so than other speakers.

I won't comment in detail on their sound quality because I have not been able to give them a fair crack of the whip: they're satellites in a second room and I'm powering them through 30 feet of 14AWG. It's not fair assess them under such extreme conditions.

I warn to be careful of the colour, because Amazon showed me a silver speaker but described it as black. I went on the photo, not on the decriptions, and received black ones. The retialer (not amazon) was great, though, and swapped them at no charge.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Packaged singly to give listeners more flexibility when configuring a 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound speaker system, the RM7300 satellite speaker looks and sounds great when paired with a plasma or flat screen TV. Mounting options are plentiful: listeners can use the swivel wall-mounting bracket (which includes a hidden wire channel) to install the speaker flat against the wall--a perfect compliment to a wall-mounted flat-panel monitor. They can also place the speaker on a bookshelf or desk using the custom-designed shelf stand (included), or use the threaded insert to mount the speaker on a fully articulating bracket (sold separately). All the options deliver the same results--rich, full-bodied sound that disperses broadly throughout the room regardless of where guests are sitting.

The RM7300 comes in a stylishly sculpted anodized-aluminum enclosure with a curved silhouette. The unique shape breaks up internal standing wave resonance, helping create a pure, more lifelike sound, while the PowerPort venting extends and strengthens the lower midrange performance to ensure a seamless blend with the subwoofer output. The resulting midrange minimizes the "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 RM7300 is equipped with dual 4.5-inch polymer composite midrange drivers for clear, distortion-free midrange and a high-performance 1-inch silk/polymer composite dome tweeter for sweet, crisp highs. The drivers combine to produce a frequency response of 65 Hz to 25 kHz, and work with amps rated from 20 to 175 watts per channel. Additional features include magnetic shielding, which lets you locate the speakers near a state-of-the-art TV or video monitor without distorting the picture, and five-way binding post connections for the purest possible sound. The speaker measures 5.81 by 24 by 6.62 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.

Customer Reviews

Great sound, good price5
Awesome speaker, especially when there's a subwoofer helping out on the bass. The highs are crisp, the mids rich; they look amazing mounted.

We did quite a bit of research before deciding on this set. We have them in a 25' x 25' room paired with their smaller cousins as rears and the matching center (the subwoofer's an older Infiniti). They fill the space quite nicely. We've cranked them with movies and all sorts of music and have yet to hear distortion. (Yes, I know that has to do with the receiver as well.)

And they are now available for $75 less than when we bought them a year ago, so go ahead and indulge the audiophile in you!

Sounds good aestheticaly lacking3
The build quality is very good. The sound quality is good, although a little light in the bass department as expected. I bought them as a cheaper alternative to the RM30. I wall mounted 3 of them next to my plasma tv as fronts and center. The titanium color is three shades of gray-metalic. I believe that the darker pewter color choice would have been a better match for my plasma.

Great sound for the price and size5
I am not an audio expert, but I was amazed at how clear the sound is out of these speakers. They carry a great punch for there size. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a small, powerful, well made speaker.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for small to mid-sized rooms, the Polk PSW303 100-watt powered subwoofer makes a great addition to your home theater or stereo system. The sub features an 8-inch long-throw driver that produces a longer excursion and better linearity than most comparably sized models, along with slot-load venting that improves the bass response by dramatically minimizing turbulence, noise, and distortion. The resulting thunderous bass shakes out all the thrills and chills of your favorite movie soundtracks, while its accurate musicality makes you sit up and take notice whether you're listening to rump-shaking hip-hop or a powerful classical piece. And unlike many subwoofers, this modest-sized unit fits easily in a cabinet or behind furniture, where it won't attract undue attention.

Contributing to the distortion-free bass response is the rock-solid medium-density fiberboard (MDF) housing, which includes a 1-inch-thick front baffle that minimizes panel resonance. Additional features include a hi-roll surround that supports longer excursion; a high-current 100-watt continuous (260 watts dynamic) power amplifier; adjustable low-pass crossover, phase switch, and volume controls; and an auto on/off circuit that automatically turns on the subwoofer when it senses a program signal. If no signal is detected, the amplifier turns off within 15 minutes.

The PSW303, which sports a genuine wood veneer finish in black, includes an unfiltered LFE input for use with low-pass filtered output jacks along with filtered speaker-level and line-level inputs. As a final bonus, the sub is magnetically shielded for safe, flexible placement near a TV or video monitor. The sub measures 11.44 by 12.44 by 16.5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty on the speaker and a three-year warranty on the amplifier.

Serves its purpose4
I am type of person who enjoys sound quality but not inclined to spend more for high end audio components. This subwoofer provides the deep bass required for my 5 speaker system. The sound provided when watching movies is similar to the movie theatre experience.
My computer audio library is linked to the entertainment sound system and I am less than enthused by the bass for this purpose. I enjoy rock music and feel as if the bass is more inclined to serve hip hop music. The tight clear sound from bass guitar is lost in deep reverberating bass.

What's that? BOOM I can't BOOM you.5
This sub kicks serious BOOM. It's small size BOOM is BOOM BA BOOM BABOOM and it produces a BOOMing incredible amount of TIGHT, ACCURATE, CHEST POUNDING BASS.


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Not "boomy" BOOM at all, just powerful.

BOOM.

That is all. Highly recoBOOMed for apartments, bedrooms, and small to medium sized rooms in need of thump.

Little Giant5
Small size and smaller cost..but what a performer. Our bedroom, game room, and my wife's craft room jump to the beat of this little black box. Bought as a music sub, I can vouch from my most recent viewing of Independence Day on cable in our game room...it can kick _ _ _ _ too. Don't be afraid of the price or the size for a small to mid small room and use corner placement and you will be happy! Lots of knobs that work and do the right thing too. I was very suprised to find it can boogey!! I have three of them in different environments and they all are up to the task.

Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
The Polk Audio Atrium 65SDI All Weather Stereo Speaker is ideal for single speaker stereo performance where a pair of speakers is inconvenient, or as a pair of speakers where high-performance, weather-resistant speakers are needed. The 65SDI has a unique, patent-pending Dual Input/Single Input switch combined with a dual tweeter array that allows this unit to be used either as a single high-performance stereo loudspeaker, or the left-or-right speaker in a high-performance stereo pair. This function is enabled or disengaged via a simple switch located over the binding-post connectors, and sums the complete stereo signal (left and right) or the single left or right signal and mixes the signal to the appropriate tweeter or tweeters for the best performance, smoothest blending and most detailed imaging of any multi-application speaker.

The Polk Atrium 65SDI utilizes a 6.5-inch mineral-composite polypropylene cone with butyl-rubber suspension for superior bass and midrange response, as well as dual one-inch metalized dome tweeters with neodymium magnets. Constructed with stainless steel and brass hardware, and an aluminum bracket and grille for rustproof reliability, this unit has special military spec waterproofing features that include a patent-pending waterproof power-port bass vent with a bug-screen for keeping critters out of the cabinet. The Atrium 65SDI features a sculpted front baffle and rounded enclosure that minimize diffraction (caused by sound reflecting off of hard edges) for even more open and lifelike imaging, and two sets of gold-plated five-way binding posts for more secure hook-up options. Built with a sleek white finish and rugged enough for use practically anywher





What's in the Box
Atrium 65SDI speaker, Rubber Power Port plug, 2 rubber feet, owner's manual, and registration card.
