Polk Audio In-Ceiling Speaker (SC60) - White - Single - Only at Best Buy

When I was remodeling my basement, I was looking for a quality in-wall speaker to minimize the obtrusiveness of my soundsystem in a limited space. My neighbor reccommended these speakers and he could not have been more correct! Being somewhat an audiophile, I had initially been skeptical of the sound quality of such a small speaker, but any doubts I had were immediately laid to rest the moment I fired these speakers up. They are crisp, clear and full. Combined with my set of RC80i speakers for center surround and rear surround, I feel like I am a part of whatever music or movie I am experiencing, even when the subwoofer is shut off! I absolutely love these speakers!

I was asked to provide a discreet looking, but amazing sounding system in a expensive home. Having been aware of Polk's reputation for stellar quality I looked to them once again. The RC85I was so simple to install and when the receiver was turned on, and the first note of the cd played instant gratification. Warm sound filled the 20x25 room w 10 foot ceilings. The speakers out perform all others (front) (rear) the simplicity speaks fopr itself. If your looking to have an amazingly easy install warm sound and overall durability, make the right purchase Polk.

I installed these speakers 3 days ago as my rear surrounds for home theater(although they could easily serve as front surround speakers). The installation was very easy, just cut the hole, pop the speakers in, and tighten the screws. After installation, I inserted Star Wars Episode III in the DVD player. After about 15 minutes into the movie I kept hearing a rattling noise. I traced down the noise and found that it was the wall phone that was in the same wall cavity on the opposite side of one of the speakers!!! LOL. The low bass put out by the speaker was causing the handset to shake. Needless to say, these speakers do very well as rear surrounds, just make sure you don't have any phones or anything hanging on the wall opposite of these bad boys!

the sound is pretty impressive for what you get. Movies and TV are reproduced without a snag. The bangs and booms maintain their integrity with great imaging at all volumes. Musically, they do leave something to be desired. I run the Polk LC60i series in another room of my house so I'm rather spoiled by that as a contrast. The music tends to sound a little thin, especially classical/jazz music when there's a piano involved. Keep in mind I say this compared to the LC60 speakers which are the most open sounding in-ceiling you might ever hear. If the speakers are being used solely for background music, they definitely hit the spot at this price point. I think you'd be hard pressed to find another speaker manufacturer that can even compare to these speakers at this price. Hope that helps!

I just purchased 2-pairs of these in-wall speakers (RC85i) for my front and rear surround sound speaker setup. What an amazing sound I heard when I fired up these bad boys! Smooth clean bass, excellent midrange along with crisp clean highs! Sweet and smooth! No boominess or harshness here baby, nothing but pure audio ectasy for the ears! I never thought that In-Wall speakers can achieve the sound quality of audiofile components! These Polk RC85i's sure do!
