Polk RC80i December 16, 2008

Great sound and crispness. Used in 7.1 surround environment and they work well for 20' x 14' room.

I have 2 pairs of these speakers which I use for my rear surround and have been very impressed so far. I also have RC85i's and RC6s from Polk Audio and they all sound amazing together. As other people have noted it is easier to use the screws to pop off the grills the first time as the grills are very difficult to remove once installed so make sure you have the tweeters aimed were you want them when you put the grills back on them.
They are very easy to install. Since the color is so close to my ceiling color I didn't bother painting these, but I did paint my RC85i's and they were very easy to paint if you need to. These speakers are well worth the cost.
fantastic speakers! November 27, 2008

I don't know if Polk made changes to these speakers, but the complaints I see here have all been addressed. These speakers couldn't be easier to install,and they sound awesome!!! The template provided was perfect in size and the grills were simple to take off. I had both speakers installed and hooked up in less than 20 minutes. If you are looking for a great deal in ceiling speakers, you can't beat these! I love them and have ordered another set for my bedroom. Thanks to Polk for a great product and thanks to Amazon for incredibly fast service. I had them 3 days after I ordered them. Great job!
Fair to Average Speakers November 25, 2008

I used four of these speakers for part of an in-ceiling, home theater system. Sound is only fair to average. I recommend spending more money to obtain a richer, less tinny, sound.
I bought four and am NOT disappointed! November 25, 2008

I bought these RC80i speakers from Amazon as the surround speakers for my new 7.1 surround system. I mainly bought them due to the fact that the tweeters are on swivels. This allowed me to tune my system according to my needs. In this case, I pointed the tweeters at the nearest wall to bounce the audio down to the listening points.
I bought these along with the RC stand up line for the center channel and fronts. Polk is right, these speakers DO blend together.
I am very satisfied with my speaker setups. I consider these "prosumer" which means they are good but I know there are better.
The build quality is stunning. The magnets are HUGE and I felt that the way the mounts were developed, the speakers were going to stay in the ceiling forever! These are tough units and they SOUND great.
I have nothing bad to say about them. The manual was clear, the template they come with is VERY accurate and the install was a breeze. What more could you ask for? HIGHLY recommended!
