Sounds good after 10 years.

For the last 10 years he has been still releasing music and films. I have 5 of these ceiling mounted as surround speakers for a 7.1 system. They still sound great since I installed them in 2007.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

The product is incomprehensible and NON-RETURNABLE!

This product is non-returnable. So if you buy it, it's yours. Even unopened. So 8" is not an 8" speaker, but an 8" speaker with an enclosure like a 10" speaker. I don't think it matters but I was looking to replace the speakers in my RV and don't want to cut anything. :((

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • I'm worried

Great sounding ceiling speakers!

When our house was built, we prepared the wiring for the ceiling speakers. We just didn't have a contractor who would charge us for installing cheap speakers. I have had Polk bookshelf speakers and I love the sound. Very clear/clear high frequencies. So I bought them without listening to them first. My guess was correct that Polk puts quality into all of their speakers, big and small. They were easy to install and sound fantastic. Perfect highs and mids and decent bass from a small speaker…

Pros
  • Fits a lot of
Cons
  • boring packaging

Sounds worse than Echo Dot

I used a Yamaha Rx-A880 to power Zone 2 for listening to music in the kitchen. Sounds boring. I thought there was something wrong with the receiver's Zone 2, so I hooked it up to an old Denon 3805 receiver. Even with the graphic EQ on, the BSR-3000 sounds awful. It sounds worse than the Logitech Z130 computer speaker. Little did I know this speaker came out over 10 years ago when I bought it. Don't buy this for ATMOS. The discharge is weak, you have to stand directly under the speaker. In no…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Legacy model

High quality speakers for ambient music

Installed in the kitchen. They were well packaged, easy to install and have a solid construction. The directional tweeter is a nice feature. These speakers can't, and aren't meant to, reproduce the sound quality of bookshelf speakers or freestanding monitors. Low frequencies are absent as this is not a subwoofer. It's great for everyday home audio solutions. Listening to music in the kitchen, bathroom or garage is a great use for these speakers. I wouldn't recommend installing them in a home…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Nothing here

Very impressive speakers!

I purchased six of these speakers (3 pairs) along with a Polk Audio 255C-RT center speaker to convert my surround sound system from traditional floorstanding/bookshelf speakers to in-ceiling speakers Speaker. Bought these after reading the Revain reviews and didn't want to pay at least double the price for a Bose. The speakers are fantastic, they sound like a dream. Very easy to install once you figure out where to find them. I had the benefit of an attic over my great room to ensure there were
