STRENGTHS:
Great overall sound
WEAKNESSES:
None
REVIEW:
Had these installed as my two rear speakers on my 5.1 system. They sound great. I've used these for normal HD TV, DVD and Gamecube and the system and speakers sound great. I have the LC65i for my front speakers a Polk A4 center channel and a 12' Polk subwoofer and the system sounds great and the speakers sound great.

STRENGTHS:
Just about everything. I've read reports about these speakers having crappy bass but.....let's face it, if you want bass, you need a SUBWOOFER!!!!!! These are NOT designed to be your ONLY bass source or else YES, you WILL be disappointed in the speakers!!! Watched a Blu-Ray movie tonight and the 7.1 surround was incredible.
WEAKNESSES:
The only weakness is that I now have two satellite 5.1 speakers that also need replacement by these 65i's!!!
REVIEW:
I love these speakers. I installed two sets of them today in my family room that is about 26x20 in size. These speakers are the front left and front right, and back surround left and right of my 7.1. This is powered by an Onkyo subwoofer with existing Polk Audio center channel speaker, Velodyne 12" subwoofer, and (cough) 2 Kenwood satellite speakers that are, for now, serving as my 5.1 satellites. OUT OF THE BOX, these things are fantastic. I saw the ability to adjust bass and tweeter, but as soon as I ran the wires down the wall and plugged them in, I had no issues whatsoever. Front two TC65i speakers are installed in the vaulted section in the front, directionally angled to the rocking chairs and couch. The 7.1 speakers are in the ceiling and about 2' behind the couch and 4-5' in front of the rocking chairs. I had company over tonight for Christmas eve and EVERYONE was commenting on the Polks. These 2 Kenwood satellites are going to get replaced FAST!!!!!!!!!!

STRENGTHS:
Ability to adjust tweeter was key to getting the right sound. Improved bass response from tuned port helps.
WEAKNESSES:
None to speak of.
REVIEW:
I had two pairs of these installed in a LARGE great room with vaulted ceilings. The speakers are installed in the ceiling so they point down toward the center of the room and are more than 12 feet off the floor. At first they did not sound as good as I expected from Polks, but it was the room, not the speakers. We hadn't moved in yet and the room has hard wood floors, bead board ceiling and lots of glass and sheet rock, and did I mention it is a large room, so there was a lot of echo and the sound was too brassy. Once I reduced the treble on the speakers and then we got some furniture in the room, and particularly carpets, the sound quality was vastly improved. After some break in and more furniture, art work, carpets etc. to break up the hard surfaces, the sound is excellent. I still have the treble dialed back to give the bass more emphasis, but they fill the room nicely. Nice detail, adequate bass, even for a room this size, and the rich, mellow sound I have always apprciated from Polks. These speakers are used for music only.

STRENGTHS:
Mid range was very strong and impresive, the tweater seemed to have good quality sound as well.
WEAKNESSES:
None in my opionion.
REVIEW:
I was very impressed with these speakers. We used them for our surround sound and it more than met my expectations. I wanted a theater experience and I can say I don't need to go to the theater ever again.
