" ... I bought a pair of Polk RC80i's for my bathrooms (one in each) and two Klipsch CDT-5800-C II's for my great room, all driven by an Elan A1240 12 channel amplifier. ... I've put about 20-30 hours on each speaker before writing this review. ... - Klipsch: 8 inch woofer, rated to +-3dB @ 49Hz - 23kHz ... Klipsch has the additional beneficial features over the Polk of a rotating woofer assembly and a -3dB switch for woofer and tweeter independently. ... Both have 360deg adjustable tweeters. ... To describe the speakers in comparison: the Polks can be tinny at highs and more muddy at lows and mids, while the Klipschs can almost be described as lacking fullness . ... It's actually extremely impressive sub-50Hz can be achieved at -3dB with the Klipsch (can't vouch for the Polk unless I measure some sweeps). ... The Klipschs are undoubtedly more clear and crisp, yet I can forsee even better speakers in my future. ... The Polks perform outstandingly and the sound quality differences are measurable, but nearly negligible from an enjoyment perspective. ... "
" ... We recenlty put in a a proper AV system and I needed some rear ceiling speakers for what is a relatively small room. ... I certainly could have done better and even my installer kind of made comments about these speakers being "cheap". ... "
" ... I mounted 4 speakers in my outdoor Gable with a cieling height of 15 feet. ... I normally prefer heavy base . ... These speakers deliver . ... The speakers are clear with a moderate to heavy amount of base depending on equalizer settings. ... Highs are clear and mids coukd be a little louder. ... "

" ... I gave the review 4 stars because the speaker grills a pressure fit into the unit and the paper clip method for removing them is not as easy as the videos indicate. ... I would have given them 5 stars if the grills were magnetic. ... "
