I have nothing but love for my new set of Polk Audio RM705

The Polk Audio RM705 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theater Speaker System has proven to be the perfect mate to my Denon AVR-2310CI; surround sound is amazing and nothing like what I used to get from my old setup. And since I watch almost all of my programming in full HD, 5.1 Surround Sound is part of the deal. I am now enjoying television and movies in clear, crisp, bass-enhanced sound! And the system can easily be expanded to 7.1 surround with the addition of side speakers.

A bit of fine tuning was necessary to on the subwoofer in order to get the bass just right, but after about 15 minutes of listening to various musical passages I found a comfortable level. The 50 watt powered subwoofer itself is of decent size. The power switch can be set to auto so that the unit shut itself down after 15 minutes of no signal input from the receiver. The other settings are of course "on" and "off"; needless to say I set it to "auto." In addition there is a volume control.

The RM7 Center, center speaker is a bit larger than the rest of the small satellite speaker only because it contains (1) more driver. The satellite speakers are a bit heavy, which I like, that means they'll stay in place. It also means they're solidly built and will last.

One disappointment: the Polk Audio RM705 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theater Speaker System ships with wall mounts for the satellite speakers, but no stands. I do not want to mount the speakers on the wall. I checked Polk's website and no short stands are offered for the speakers, only floor stands and they are expensive at $189.00 a pair.

Closing Thoughts

Other than the little niggling stand issue mentioned above, I have nothing but love for my new set of Polk Audio RM705 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theater Speakers. Smartly designed, affordable, with more than enough sound to meet my needs, this 5.1 surround sound speaker system is a keeper, a solid winner. Buy a set, you'll be glad you did.I love the Polk Audio Home Theater System. I love coming home and watching a dvd and or listening to my music. The sound quality is crisp, clear and moving. I feel like I'm at the movies especially when the floor starts to vibrate. You know when a sound system is good is when your son brings his college friends home to watch a movie and doesn't mind you being there. Quality at an affordable price is the best sound to my ears. I am sure there are even better system out there than this and at higher prices...who cares! I can't say enough about how good the sound is. Oh... wait a minute yes I can. I was watching a movie with my dog Maxx. He was laying on the couch next to me when all of a sudden he jumps up and starts barking. Yes you got it, he thought there was another dog barking outside when it was only the movie. The barking Maxx heard was the background sound to a talking scene. Hmmm!!! What does that tell you about the clearity? Man's best friend is proof that the sound is so real it can even fool an animal. I am so done with having to have to spend a lot of momey to get anything. I did my homework, asked the correct questions and I ended up with a sound system that would give the competitors a run for their money. Love it! The money I saved I went out and bought a new 54" plasma tv. Happy New Year and good luck.
