Our take on the Polk Audio OWM3

by Chris Egner
Polk OWM3

Carefully designed drivers provide detailed sound

A versatile performer for any room

Polk created the sleek OWM3 with several applications in mind. Add a pair to the sound system in your kitchen or bedroom, use them as surround sound speakers with your TV in the living room, or make them a part of your desktop stereo setup for great-sounding computer games. There's practically no end to the ways you can use these compact and versatile performers. The OWM3's slim, uniquely curved design and removable base give you plenty of placement options, including on-wall or corner mounting for a clean, out-of-the-way installation.


Polk OWM3

Mount them on a wall or place them on a shelf

Polk builds them right to sound their best

The OWM3's modest size doesn't stop it from delivering rich sound. Polk's Dynamic Balance® drivers and super-dense, acoustically inert enclosures resist resonance that can cause distortion. Instead, you'll hear detail and dynamics that make your music and movies more lifelike. This speaker's careful design and smart technology ensure clear midrange response. For more low-end punch, add a Polk powered subwoofer.

      Driver Technology

      Polypropylene Woofers: Each speaker features a 4-1/2" polypropylene cone woofer which employs Capacitive Coupling Bass Technology for a low frequency response despite its size.

      Silk Tweeters: Each speaker has a 1" silk dome, Dynamic Balance tweeter that provides clear, detailed highs.

      Frequency Response Note: The overall frequency response is 80Hz-25kHz and the -3dB frequency response is 100-22kHz.

      Enclosure Design

      Glass-filled ABS Cabinets: The acoustic suspension cabinets feature glass-filled ABS construction, which creates an acoustically inert enclosure. The cabinet ensures an extremely clean midrange response with low coloration. The black finish blends easily with any decor.

      Connections

      Binding Posts: Each speaker has a set of gold-plated 5-way binding posts on the bottom of the angled rear panel. The binding posts will accept bare wire, spade lugs, pin connectors, dual or single banana plugs (removal of binding post plugs required).

      Mounting Options

      Multiple Mounting Options: The OWM3 is suited for on-wall mounting or placement on a tabletop or shelf. The speakers have four 4-way keyhole slots on the back, and come with rubber bumpers and an attachable base. There are seven different mounting possibilities: angled wall mount, corner mount, horizontal wall mount, vertical wall mount, shelf mount (using included base), horizontal shelf mount (using supplied rubber bumpers), and wall-mounted with an optional articulating wall-mount bracket (using the 1/4-20 threaded insert).

      Good value but could have a little more punch.

      Written By Frank, Charlotte, NC on Monday, May 06, 2013
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I bought these speakers (2 pairs) to replace my one pair of larger Polk M3 surround speakers. I wanted a lower profile speaker and needed additional speakers for 7.1. The price was very good and the mounting options were excellent. I am using a new Onkyo 717 and so far I have only used the Audyssey room set up and right now I don't hear what I am used to hearing from my surround speakers on my old system. I will need to see what happens when I manually adjust the output to the surround. Overall I am happy with these speakers. I love working with Crutchfield.
      Pros:
      Good price. Excellent mounting options.
      Cons:
      Could have a little more punch. The enclosures are much smaller than my M3.

      Excellent surround speakers, I paired this set with monitor55t front towers, CS10 center speaker, PSW10 sub and are connected to a YAMAHA RX-V573. This speakers not only they sounds good but, looks good too on my wall. I got the white one so they blend well on my wall paint, and mount them on the corner where the wall and the ceiling meet. Very versatile speaker, Highly recommend.
      Pros:
      Great sound, multi mounting style, looks

      Great Pair of Speakers

      Written By TomB, Wayne,PA on Monday, April 08, 2013
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I bought these speakers to be used in our basement which we are finishing for a place to send all those teenagers that keep spending time at our house. My daughter had her 1st party this weekend and the speakers were able to handle what today's kids calll music more than adequately. It is even more enjoyable when I go in to the basement and play my music. This is the second pair of these speakers that I have purchased. The originals are doing fine as front speakers in our surround sound system. I regret that I can't find more uses for these speakers. They are great and you will not be disappointed.
      Pros:
      CRisp clear sound and can handle the volumes demanded by teenagers without distortion.
      Cons:
      I can't think of any.

      First time dealing with Crutchfield and I couldn't be more pleased. The delivery was made exactly as scheduled. I replaced my old Minimus 7 surround speakers with these Polk OWM 3's. Sound and look good. I'm impressed with the quality.

      Good Surround

      Written By Josh, Corpus Christi, TX on Tuesday, March 26, 2013
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      These are great surround speakers. There are many ways one can mount them, and they just look fantastic. I bought these to complete my 5.1 surround system. I didn't want bulky bookshelf speakers cluttering up the living room so I got these and I'm extremely happy with them. The sound of bullets whizzing by, breaking glass, or whatever surround effects sent to them them comes through with excellent clarity and is dispersed to all the listening positions very well. Great value.
      Pros:
      Crystal clear with upper and mid range frequencies, multiple mounting options, aesthetically appealing.
      Cons:
      They do not do very well with lower frequencies. They're quite a smaller footprint than most bookshelf speakers so it's a trade off. I wouldn't recommend them for music unless you've got a good sub, but since I got them for movies I'm very satisfied.

      I purchased 3pairs of the OWM3 Polk speakers to replace my Bose Cubes. All I can say is WOW. I couldn't believe what I had been missing in sound quality and depth. At a fraction of the cost these speakers outperform my Bose speakers hands down. In addition, The Crutchfield purchasing and delivery process was seamless.

      Great Product, Great Value

      Written By J.J., Knox, IN on Thursday, March 07, 2013
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      The sound from these speakers is amazing. I love the clarity and crisp response. I also have the Polk Audio center speaker (CS10), and Polk Audio powered sub (PSW10). All of these units together make for some astuonding sound. Great for music and Blu-ray movies. The reason I bought these items was to get the big speakers (Cerwin Vega VE-12F) out of my livingroom to create more floor space. I was concerened I would lose the big sound, but with all of these together I have lost nothing.
      Pros:
      Great clarity,low cost, and the mounting reliefs in the speaker housing make hanging them a breeze. You can mount them flat or angled down. Just used a "Zip-it" wall anchor & that was it.
      Cons:
      None yet!

      When the speakers arrived, the speakers were bigger than what I expected, and that a good thing. I did not know on the Denon AVR-1913 receiver, you have to select the movie button from the remote control to get audio from the speakers. Thanks to the Crutchfield representative I spoke to over the phone who provided me assistance. The first movie I played after I setup the speakers, was Terminator 2. I fast forward to my favorite scene in the movie, which is the part the terminator kicks the table out through the window, and pull out the mini-gun. The sound of both the mini-gun and the bullets ricochet off the grass, was enough to tell myself, these speakers are a keeper.
      Pros:
      The size of the speakers, and the many different ways you can choose to mount them.
      Cons:
      Your wife/husband will get jealous, because you give your Home Theater more quality time.

      Versatile, elegant speaker; Exactly what I wanted

      Written By Ben M., Manhattan, NY on Monday, June 27, 2011
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I was upgrading my rear surround speakers and wanted something larger than a cube and smaller than a bookshelf speaker. I thought I would give these a try because they fit the limited space I had available on the side tables. They are perfect, and in black add visually with a modern feel to the space. The price was great and the quality with Polk is always a sales point for me.

      The increase in clarity over the old cubes was perceptible, and with a bit of use these should open up a bit sound wise (though given the non-traditional geometry you need to have realistic expectations). For both music and home entertainment purposes they have performed quite well and should continue to improve as they see further use.

      I thought the plastic foot/base was fine and seems sturdy enough. I did not attempt other speaker mounting positions, but analysing the shape and the hardware included I can see how you could put these just about anywhere without too much effort. Working with the 5-way binding posts (as with the Polk CS-10) was stress-free. Overall the speakers felt dense/solid and well built.

      To sum up: I purchased a car stereo and 4 speakers for that project from Crutchfield a few years ago and was very satisfied then. Now with this purchase I've added another good experience and the company definitely retains a happy customer!

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      The only reason I didn't give these a five is they really are limited to surround speaker applications. For that purpose they work very well, and score high on the WAF (wife acceptance factor).
