Discover how good in-ceiling speakers can sound!

Great in-ceiling speakers if you're picky about sound quality. I'm not a Polk fan at all. My regular speakers are, shall we say, rather esoteric. But it increased my appreciation for Polk! Often ceiling speakers sound awful, tinny or boomy etc. But they have very nice and smooth mids (which is key); probably because, unlike almost all other in-ceiling speakers in this price range, it has 3 drivers, one for mids, so it doesn't have to do without mids for bass reproduction. And it has good, tight bass (not a HUGE base, but real bass); This is likely due to the design of the woofer and cabinet, which is also quite unique, allowing it to be larger and vibrate more than traditional 6.5-inch in-ceiling speakers. I used two of these in a 15 x 20 foot room that is open to all three. on the sides and they make a lot of sound. Can easily be driven via a 20 watt amplifier. No in-ceiling housing required. They only sound great in the ceiling cavity. One note: They're fairly deep and heavy compared to other in-ceiling speakers of this size. Check the dimensions to make sure they fit your ceiling. Also note that the price is for ONE. Therefore, they are higher in price. But at least three levels higher in quality. I strongly recommend them.
