Review on Polk Audio RC65i In-Wall 6.5" Speakers - Premium 2-Way Pair for Indoor/Outdoor Placement in Damp and Humid Environments - Perfect for Bath, Kitchen, Covered Porches (White, Paintable-Grille) by Phil Kowal

I have just remodeled/updated our basement theater room (the previous owner had a BOSE lifestyle for over 20 years). I'm not a surround sound fan but wanted the sound of champagne for the price of a beer. After some research, I've heard good things about Polk speakers. I installed a 255c-RT (middle), 2 x RC85i (front left/right), 2 x RC65i (rear left/right) and a PSW10 subwoofer. Due to wall restrictions, my back panels are fixed to the ceiling (false ceiling). I also opted for a smaller RC65i compared to the 85. I've (with some effort) routed all new 14 gauge speaker wire (including pre-routed side surround and ceiling wires for 5.1.2 Atmos). I connected all this to the new Yamaha RX-V683 (7.2) and am very happy with the result. Mission: Impossible: Saw Fallout and he's blown away! My room is about 14 x 20 feet with 8-10 foot ceilings. Installation was easy but I only gave 4 stars (installation part) due to some flimsy plastic clips. Be careful not to overtighten! My receiver is also currently being used for Zone 2 with the existing speakers in the playroom (next to the theatre). Next year I plan to install High Surrounds (5.1.2 Atmos) and was advised to use Polk. 80F/X-RT. More expensive so not sure I could go with less. The review will be updated later after installation. Since my budget is limited, I'm still using an old Toshiba 55" wall mount, which will be upgraded to 75-82" by Christmas (Santa, are you listening?). Hooray!
