Great speakers to match accessory

Great ceiling speakers. They sound great, spot on if you don't plan on using a subwoofer like I did. I didn't want a mess on the floor. I tried another high end brand and they didn't have a deep tone, they would probably work with a subwoofer. All in all I love these

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

The investment in BIG Sound is worth it!

I was looking for a quality option that could handle my powerful Sony amp and these two cats nailed it. I've added them as rear built-in surround speakers and they've always been a pleasure. If you have the right high power amp, these things will scream and transport you to every movie or show you watch. Great alternative to Bose and they are very heavy.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Style 90

Good ceiling speaker

I have four of these speakers on my porch. All in all, these are good ceiling speakers. They have the soft and smooth sound you would expect from a Polk, but lack the detail of Polk atriums. Some of the speakers sounded thin at first. Turns out the installer had accidentally pressed the "normal/reflective" button. Make sure this button is set correctly for the best sound. Also, one of the four grilles was slightly deformed and continued to fall away from the speaker. I had to glue it in place…

Great to set up, even better to listen to.

Fantastic speakers. Very easy to install (see warning) and offer excellent, clear, room-filling sound. They're not too big and loud for surround speakers for TV and movies, and they rock the house when they're playing music. CAUTION: Know where your studs and pipes are located and know the height of the ceiling void. I knew 2 of 3 and had to improvise on the drywall. PVC sewer pipes are not inferior to a centimeter. If you cut holes in the right places, installation is not difficult.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Almost never

worth matching. on Portable Audio & Video

After many years I have finally decided to customize the speakers in my 7.1 system. With a Polk RTi A5 as my main unit, I decided to buy a pair of Polk 90RT for the top (70RT were too small to replace my current speakers) to replace my old Polk RC60 and reuse my Polk 265RT for the back, to replace my 25 year old old vintage Interdyn speakers. The improvement goes far beyond what I had hoped for. The range of these speakers is excellent. They fit my A5 perfectly, next step. Update the center to…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Anything I can add

Beware - this speaker is over 9 inches tall and quite heavy. Of course not for every ceiling. Please read the product description carefully before ordering. .Also be careful with this as the woofer cone may be touched through the back. Sonically, this is a surprisingly detailed speaker, but it's not clearly more appealing than the more affordable Polk Audio MC80. - Mid-size 90RT woofer and high-end crossover reproduce buttery-smooth, detailed, "real" vocals. In fact, it delivers a consistent…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs

Big sound, small footprint

covered patio/porch). Bought 2 of these. (not sure if they are not ranked 😬) They are quite big (tall!) and heavy, make sure you have enough space. I only have them on a 50 watt amp but they sound very good. Full details - good low, middle and high frequencies! Even more impressive considering they are outside! When installed they look deceptively simple, you never expected so much sound from an in-ceiling speaker! The only criticism is the magnetic lid. They are weak and keep falling off. I…

Pros
  • EASY ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION - PERFECT FIT TEMPLATE, precision flange, pre-engineered brackets (available) and PATENTED ROTATING JAWS system ensure a vibration-free, secure installation
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
