Clear and reach sound like for that money . worth it.

Excellent quality. I like how I can adjust the direction of the tweeter. My setup: Receiver (Sony STRDH770)) Front speakers (Polk Audio RC85i) Rear speakers (Polk Audio RC85i) Subwoofer (Polk Audio PSW111) Center speakers (Polk Audio 255c-RT)

Awesome.

I purchased this speaker to compliment a 7.1 in wall/in ceiling surround sound system. I purchased the following speakers and receiver: Polk Audio 255C-RT (Center) Polk 265-LS x 2 (Front Sides) Polk 80F/X-RT x 4 (Surround and Surround Back) Polk HTS 12 (Subwoofer) Denon AVR-x3600H (Receiver) While it is hard to come up with an individual review for each speaker, they work very well as a system. They sound decent out of the box. One of my main concerns was how well it would sound having mix and matched LS and RT into the same speaker setup. Upon the following process, those concerns were swiftly laid to rest. Once you get your initial sound set up configured (Audyssey if you are using a newer Denon receiver), tweak the crossovers and play around with other options - these speakers sound amazing once you get the right configuration. If you want to get the most out of these speakers, make sure you lay them out properly and go through the process of tweaking them to your liking. I installed the front and center channels on the wall, and the surround and surround back speakers in the ceiling. These are very easy to install. Most of your time will be spent on the layout of your speakers and potentially running speaker wire.

Bought this when we moved into our new house 3 months ago to go with a pair of rc85i's (in wall) for the fronts and rt85i's (in ceiling) for surrounds, powered by an Onkyo 636. Is this the best sound system I've ever heard? No. Is it good enough to impress me on a regular basis? It sure is. Easy install. Seamless look. Great sound for movies and music on a space/cost budget. Just don't plan to put them in a wall that is shared with a room that needs to be quiete as sound bleed through is pretty noticeable. Your results may vary but adding insulation to my walls did little to reduce the problem. Thankfully my wall is shared with a hallway so it is not much of a problem
