Is anyone using RM 8 's for a home stereo?
I have space limits and would consider RM8 w/ a sub

Would you be referring to the rm8000T?

How about a Polk surround bar SDA instant home theater...see product menu above. A single bar placed beneath or above your TV and a matching sub...no wires.

I think he talking about the RM8 satellites that go in the RM85/95 5 packs maybe?

I have 4 rm8's and would suggest against them for a home stereo. For HT they really are not to bad for how small they are, but for music you need something else. They only play down to 120hz, and you really don't want your sub to play that high. Why not get some of the RTi A3's instead off of polk direct. They would be much better sounding then the small rm8's. But if you really need something as small as the rm8's then they will probably surprise you with their sound for how small they are.

cnhI personally don't think this is a really good option for stereo music. I own the SB42 and out of curiosity I pushed some music through using my PSW110 and I wasn't too impress about the end result. Small drivers along with being encased into the same enclosure... I can't see good stereo sound coming out of that.

Nah... I agree that RTi A3 would be a good option. In fact I've noticed decent pricing for the refurbs on the Polk direct site yesterday evening.

Cheers!
