Great center channel in a small form factor.

I bought this model to replace my old Sony which was just huge. I couldn't connect my old one to the new giant TV on the wall. This speaker sounds great and is quite small for the sound it makes. I have a keyboard hooked up to my sound system and this speaker plays high notes with ease. They sound crisp and clear. Movie dialogue sounds like a person is speaking to you. I highly recommend this column if the size is not what you want.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Great sound, great price.

I recommend this speaker to anyone who is not a music lover. If you're just looking for a great sounding speaker on a budget, this is a great solution. I was very happy with my home theater system but I had trouble understanding dialogue so I had to turn the system up to hear the words and then when an action scene was playing it was too loud and I kept adjusting the volume . This speaker solved that problem. Words are crystal clear and I don't have to hold the remote in my hand all the time.

Pros
  • quality construction
Cons
  • unreliable

Great sound for home audio

I actually bought it for my aunt. The center speaker in her home theater broke, so I bought a replacement. I've known the quality of Polk Audio products since the 1980's. They've always made good speakers. When I plugged it in and played the DVD to test it, I saw the full range of sounds. For a small size, the speaker delivers excellent sound quality. I wasn't the least bit disappointed with this dynamic. For me it was a great purchase. And my aunt, well, she's very happy that her home theater…

Best Answer to Center Channel Size Constraints

The bottom of the image on my new plasma is less than 5 inches above the housing it is mounted on. Mounting the center channel above the screen was not an option. There were a few higher rated center channel speakers, but nearly all were over 5 inches. The only one that wasn't was a 6 ohm speaker and my amp was 8 ohms. So I settled on the compact RM8, which is less than 5 inches tall. Have replaced the 6" Infinity center channel and am completely satisfied with the sound of the RM8. This is the

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Useless Features

Clear, small and inexpensive center channel

I bought this center channel to add to my 2.0 setup (a pair of Polk Monitor 50s). From a design perspective, the RM8 is solid. It feels heavy for its size and the glossy finish is very nice (it matches the finish on my TV's bezel). Setup was easy. The sound quality is excellent. While audio can be a little quiet, it's crisp and clear - free from interference and distortion. For a more powerful sound I would have gone for one of the Polk CS Series center speakers, but unfortunately I just didn't

  • Few competitors

The RM8 center speaker is sleek and sounds great

This is the second component I'm buying to build my own RM95 kit. I have previously purchased RM8 satellites and this center speaker completes my front set. For the record, I'm using this system with a consumer amp (Sony HT-DDW680), a high quality monster cable, and currently only 3.1 surround sound. The system is installed in a small 10x12 playroom, so there are very important acoustic limits to the volume of the room. However, there is a noticeable change in sound quality compared to previous

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
