Sheer-GrilleThe unique, wafer-thin grille is magnetically secured to deliver nearly transparent, ultra-small perfs and dynamic, unimpeded sound. |

Polk Audio In Wall/In Ceiling Speakers (RT and LS combo)
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.

East to install, for the most part. Sounds great. Matches well with my Polk tower speakers and my Polk in-ceiling surrounds. Should have done this years ago. Made a huge difference.

I was so excited to finally have in-wall speakers. This center channel was easy to install, it fits flush and turned out just as I was hoping. This center speaker sounds great and makes for a real theater experience in our basement entertainment room. I sprayed the grill black, which looks nice, and I plan on color matching to the wall in the future.
