    Default In Ceiling RC60i vs RC80i vs. OWMs

    I searched the threads & read all the RC80i info that came up...

    Wanted to know how the RC80i compare to the RC60i & if its that big a difference

    Background info:
    Have Monitor 70s, CS2... no AVR yet
    Will be using 4 RC80 or RC60s for rear surround in 8' ceiling

    If I'm just using them as rear surrounds, no music I'd imagine the RC60i would be fine but if people think theres a big difference let me know!

    Would the OWMs be better due to the improved cone direction vs the RCs?

    Haven't had much luck anywhere!
    Considering the Monoprice 15 deg angled ceiling speakers... Less price plus the angling would be HUGE pluses but if I can get a witness for the Polks I wouldn't mind staying with an all Polk system either!

    I don't think many people have experience with these. You should probably contact Polk to get some answers. :)

    I have 80's, and have installed 60's for some family friends. I personally like the 80's, if for no other reason than I feel more secure pushing them to my ear's limits.
