I'm love polk speakers

These Polk 265-LS (used as surrounds) sounds awesome and well balanced when paired to my LSi speaker setup (Caution see ***FYI for more info.) Good clarity, sound, and presence. Good mounting diversity as you can adjust sound with its built in sound shaping controls. It also comes with a port plug in case you have to mount speaker in a larger than a normal wall stud spacing. Bass is ok but for movies or hard core listening you will need a subwoofer. *** FYI I did learn something when matching the 265-LS's 91 db sensitivity 8-ohm impedance to my existing 88 db 4-ohm setup is that the 265-LS is so much more efficient that the receiver could not output match it to the rest of the system and maxed out at -12db. I ended up powering the 265-LS with my old Denon AVR-2500 and adjusted the output to half so main receiver could sound match. I repositioned my good old Polk LSi 7.2 speaker set up in order to update to Dolby Atmos 5.2.4. After repositioning I ended up needing rear surrounds. I also wanted them to not only match my LSi's but also wanted them in wall. I found these Polk 265-LS on Crutchfield that had similar drivers. My setup LSi9's for front and center, LSi/fx for side front and rear heights, 265-LS for the surrounds, and the subs. Onxyo PR-RZ5100 receiver, PA-MC5100 amp, and Denon AVR 2500 to power the Polk 265-LS rear surrounds. Crutchfield support and shipping was great as always!!!

Great Speakers, low profile

Delivery was timely, and speakers were packed appropriately. Instructions were easy to understand, and the installation of the speakers went smoothly. sound is superb! used as part of a 7.2.2 configuration with other speakers in the same Polk Audio LSiM series.

Love the sound!

Just installed as L+R pair in media room paired with a Paradigm center and Martin Logan SW. Ended up using the wall switch toggle since needed to place with 2' of the side-walls. Didn't seem to impact the sound negatively. Also using 65 RT's for rear surround for 5.1. Love the Polk Audio clarity and overall sound experience.

Like a lot

THis is an easy to install, almost "invisible" in the wall speaker. Obviously bass is not so good (need a subwoofer), but could do without one. Like it a lot. My only personal comparison is with a pair of Bowers and Wilkins CWM 800 wall/ceiling speakers. The Polk 265-LS is a better sounding speaker, but if the B&W speakers were still easily available (they have been discontinued, I am told) I would purchase the B&W speakers (but they are not quite as "invisible").
