Polk Audio Speaker – Review
By Keya at 20 February, 2009, 4:59 pm
The Polk Audio RM6750 5.1 channel home theater speaker system is phenomenal and an outstanding value. I had originally been looking for a home theater in a box system to mate to a newly acquired 37″ LG LCD HDTV. The search was partly precipitated by the demise of the older generation DVD player.
Get more value and flexibility buying a receiver, an upscalable DVD player (improved picture with regular DVDs on HDTV) and a new speaker system than with home theater in a box.
Introducing a complete home theater audio solution for people who crave true cinema excitement without breaking the bank – the RM6750. Polk audio speaker, integrated Power Port Bass Vent designed right onto the back of the compact Satellite and Center Channel speakers – the same technology used in full-sized Polk Audio speakers improves lower midrange response and all-important sub/sat blending, taking the RM6750 beyond the performance realm of any other sub/sat system in this price range.
Polk audio speaker integrated design reveals midrange with no “hole” in the frequencies between the sats and the sub, for male vocals that are rich and full-not thin and weak like other sub/sat systems. The RM6750 comes with its own subwoofer module, an 8 inch long throw driver and high current power amplifier for real ground-shaking bass thrills.
Speaker wiring is straigtforward; wire is not supplied and best to buy/use thick gauge to handle power. Speaker set up instructions from Polk are relatively meager, especially about the subwoofer, but their website is very informative and makes a compelling argument for hooking up subwoofer in parallel with front speakers rather than using subwoofer port and sound is terrific this way.
Plus : Great Sound, Attractive, Blend into the environment (they are small), Great price, Quality Name
Imperfect review : That said, they’re no replacement for larger, more powerful speakers. They lack strength at some lower frequencies, frequently noticed that deep male voices aren’t particularly clear or powerful through the speakers. It’s particularly noticeable with the center channel, since that’s where most dialog will be placed.
Technical Details
- Six piece surround sound package that includes 2 front and 2 surround speakers, 1 center-channel speaker, and 1 subwoofer
- Satellite and center-channel speakers utilize 3.25-inch polymer-composite cone drivers for distortion-free midrange
- Features 0.5-inch silk and polymer-composite dome tweeter in each satellite speakers and 0.75-inch silk and polymer-composite dome tweeter in center-channel speaker
- Subwoofer utilizes an eight-inch long-throw dynamic-balance poly-composite driver for longer driver excursion and better linearity
- Satellite and center-channel speakers can accommodate 6.1 or 7.1 channel systems
Thanks Polk for a really great product… and for all of the knowledge information you have on your site…
Also, don’t forget to reading my other reviews on Onkyo Home Entertainment System and Panasonic Portable DVD Player.
