Product Description
The new RM95 Home Theater Speaker System is a five-piece speaker system that presents a sleek, minimalist design while delivering impressively big sound. Featuring four of the RM8 Wide-dispersion Array Satellite Loudspeakers, which ensure more dispersion pattern options for the utmost in placement flexibility. The RM8 Satellite creates a more enveloping, less localizable surround effect. Drivers are mounted on opposing baffles for a broader and larger front stage sound field and a more immersive and atmospheric surround field. Polk speaker technology ensures superior system performance, delivering rich, full-bodied, big speaker sound. RM8 Satellites Use High-Performance 3/4" (19mm) Silk/Polymer Composite Dome Tweeters for superior imaging and smooth highs. All RM Series Satellites Are Magnetically Shielded for safe placement next to today's state-of-the-art TVs and video monitors.

Great speakers if you have the right room to take advantage of the dual drivers February 20, 2008

I was originally looking at a Bose speaker setup, but I couldn't bring myself to spend $1000 on speakers. Not knocking Bose, but I thought Polk Audio has always put out a good product, so I though I'd give them a try, and I've been very pleased.
I bought them on sale at Tweeter for $599 around Christmas, and I could not be happier with them. Part of the deal was also the PSW11 sub which has more than enough punch for my system.
I have them set up for a home theater system in my basement and they sound phenomenal, but placement is critical to getting the most sound out of these speakers (actually, any speakers) due to the fact that they have dual drivers. All this means is they have a mid-range and tweeter on two of the three sides of the speaker (they are triangular in shape if looking from the top-down). They are designed to create a sound field by bouncing sound off of the walls in your room.
It is very important to experiment with placement of these speakers to get the best sound from them. Each room is different in relation to your listening area, so try a couple of different spots before affixing them to the wall (decent wall brackets are included).
Music sounds great, too. I don't usually blast music, but frequency response and clarity are both excellent. They are small enough to fit quite nicely any room without drawing attention to themselves like some other larger bookshelf speakers commonly used in home theater setups.
No matter what you buy, though, just remember that if you are considering buying $600 worth of speakers, make sure you don't waste your money by going with cheap speaker cable. I used all Monster cables (16 gauge), and terminated everything with Monster speaker terminals, and they sound really good.
Hope this helps.
