  1. ejarocki

    Met all of my requirements. Looks good (actually, it hides well when painted).

  2. JereG

    Great center speaker. Is a little wide though. I believe it was 16 inches wide. Had some trouble trying to mount horizontal had to go vertical between studs.

  3. BestBuyElite

    easy to install, great sound, good price. I would definitely recommend. My only complaint is that if you want to paint the grilles to match the walls you need to remove the cloth film that lines the grille but they tuck it behind the grille mount so unless you cut the cloth to get a hold of it you cannot easily remove it. Once you do remove it, it is basically impossible to put it back in and have it look like it was not removed. i.e. the film bunches up because it cannot be tucked in to the grille mount. The rear surrounds I got from polk were easy to remove and replace the cloth film so it looked like new

  4. BigBob

    Incredible center channel. Crisp clean voices during movies and while watching TV shows. Had to mount in the wall vertically due to stud spacing and the fact that the speaker is pretty wide, but that has no bearing on the sound quality.

  5. Jengo

    Great value. Great sound. Discreet. Hard to go wrong with Polk.

  6. Navy

    Great line of speakers, can never go wrong with polk audio

  7. Navy

    This speaker is so crystal clear and has great bass

  8. Mrstexsun

    Great Speaker purchase and at a fantastic price as well.

  9. Sahall0997

    My speakers have not really worked since they installed them i dont hink it is the speakers fault te geek squad is not that talented on the install side.

  10. JoeBlack

    This was installed in my master bedroom as a part of a simple, but decent 5.1 Surround Sound setup. My wife and I enjoy watching scary movies in bed and usually don’t have the volume up that high because we have small children that go to bed right down the hall from us. The Subwoofer sounded ok-good when first installed, but I always felt that is was “loose”. Recently I noticed a ticking noise coming from it and thought that there was something rattling nearby. I determined it was in fact the sub had blown. I was fortunate to have a spare def tech sub to replace it with and wish I would’ve never bought the Polk to begin with. My def tech sub was a little more expensive, but the sound doesn’t even compare. I would steer clear of this Polk subwoofer.

  11. Tony

    Clean look and great sound. Will require you to cut a stud if your wall studs are 16 oc.

  12. Sephult

    I purchased the Front and this Center for my Theater/Studio. Honestly my first in-wall speaker purchase. It was simple and easy to install and sounded great right off. Sometimes it’s hard to tell where the sound is coming from as the speakers are really transparent in a good way. I would have to say these are my first Polk speakers and I am sold on purchasing more Polk Audio in the future.

  13. 1gturbo

    not many options for in wall center channels, but this is great. awesome voice and treble from it and really brings the system together.

  14. Brandon

    Very clean crisp sound. Decent value and easy to hook up. Looks very discrete when properly mounted.

  15. batmanrobin927

    Sounds great. Easy install. Can use this in the ceiling.

  16. PandaDuz

    This thing absolutely blew me away. I did not expect such deep, rich sounds to come from such small speakers.!

  17. DougS

    Repkaced an in-wall center-channel speaker that was installed in the house I just bought. The Polk looks and sounds a lot better. The Geek Squad did a great job with the replacment.
