RM7500

"… they really mop the floor with the competition. It's very hard to find speakers that excel in both surround and stereo, with a truly listenable sub…Matthew Polk has produced a winner. These are the best poor man's surround speakers I've heard yet."

" … the RM7500’s forte is movie playback. If you want to impress your neighbors with action-packed movie music and effects, it won’t disappoint you… Moreover, it provides a seamless soundfield that really envelops you, along with a stud-shaking sub."

"Wall-mount wonder!"

"If you're looking for a versatile wall-mount surround set with a good sub at a good price, this is an excellent choice."

RM6600

"Extended and airy, bright but not edgy. Many audiophile speakers should be so good."
"…combined great strengths in music reproduction with exceptional home-theater excitement."

RM6200

"It (RM6200 with PSW250) more or less has it all: real steam engine-like depth and vitality and a clean yet quite sophisticated midband and treble." (selected as an "Editor's Choice")
Home Entertainment (UK), October 2000

"...the RM6200 sang brilliantly...The speakers sound even better than they look...recommended for anyone after a mid-priced, fuss-free set of quality speakers to use in a small to medium-sized room."

"This is one of the best (if not the very best) sub/sat systems I've ever auditioned. Period!"

RM6500

"If you are looking at entering the home theater sound market, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better system than the RM6500 – at $1,099.00, the performance price ratio is hard to beat. But look, and listen around – do your research and read the specifications carefully before investing. My feeling is that you'll come to the same conclusion that I did – as a long-term investment, the Polk RM6500 Series is a keeper."

"The RM6500 is a very effective performer and reflects the company's rethinking of a classic product."

"Recommended."

RM7300V

"Best Overall Great sound for movies and music. Rockin' subwoofer is deep and detailed. Good for small to medium-size rooms."

RM6700

"Times change, audio fashions come and go, but Polk Audio just keeps on producing great speakers."

"The RM6700's sonic signature is immediate, very clean, and low in distortion; that's why these little guys sound like much larger speakers...the RM6700's midrange was flawless--detailed and harmonically correct--and the treble was smooth, airy, and fully extended. We're downright persnickety about the way sats and subs work together, but the RM6700's blend with the PSW350 was absolutely perfect, causing the whole system to sing with one voice."

"We recommend this kit without reservation to those with small and medium-sized rooms."

"Sonically, this system is everything it should be by design and intent. The sound is smooth, vibrant, dynamic and unblemished by peaky effects that might look like a musical falsehood on a polygraph test. In other words, whatever the entertainment question, Polk's little bunch gives you all the right answers."

RM6900

"Installation of the satellites is an exercise in simplicity that I found refreshing...Unlike many home theater in a box systems, I was able to breeze through installation painlessly."

"...it's refreshing to see a company like Polk Audio care about the product that has their name on it. The RM6900 wasn't just made to fill a niche, it was carefully crafted to sound like an expensive large speaker at the fraction of the cost and size."

"Just as the satellites sounded much bigger than their size inplied., so did the subwoofer. The transition between the detailed airy midrange of the satellites and the punchy bass was quite good. Dialog from the center channel was well represented during movie playback and vocals in music content were smooth and dynamic."

"...I would recommend this system to anyone seeking quality sound from a small package."

RM30 System

"'Pleasantly surprised' doesn’t come close to describing my reaction. 'Astounded' is more like it. The RM30/302 combines startling clarity and dazzling dynamics with a huge open radiation pattern. There’s absolutely no sense of sound confined in boxes, as there often is with similar looking loudspeakers. The Polks present a dimensionality that immediately recalled a first encounter with a pair of Wilson WATTs and how I was bowled over by their ability to present a palpable acoustic image to a listener anywhere in the vicinity."

"Movie-and-music fans looking for an excellent affordable audio system would have to hunt long and hard to top the RM30/302/101 combination."

SurroundBar®

"What you do get is a genuine sense of sound coming from behind your listening position... You feel as if there are indeed many small speakers invisibly placed around the room."

"It is gorgeously crafted from Aluminium..."

"From the outset the sound is immediately richer and more robust than the rival ******..."

"...the more you listen to the Polk the seemingly more invisible it becomes..."

"...it does manage to create a suitably enveloping overall ambience of effects that are far less influenced by the room, and where you sit in it, than [the 4] other systems [tested in this review]"

"...the SurroundBar is probably the unltimate one-box speaker solution I've heard to date."

"Not surprisingly, the SurroundBar includes seven 3.5-inch drivers, three tweeters, and a very complex 39-element crossover. What is surprising is how well it works."

"In fact, in difficult rooms, such as those in which the rear speakers have to be mounted in acoustically undesirable locations or the seating area is not ideal for surround (up against a wall, for example), the SurroundBar will surely outperform a multiple-speaker arrangement."

"the SurroundBar does a great job of doing exactly what it was designed to do: fill a room with quite fine surround sound without intruding on the homeowner's décor or lifestyle. And that's the (sound) wave of the future."

"...the front stage is super wide and impressive from many listening positions. The center channel is stable during the hullabaloo too, which helps dialog come across rather clear and un-muddied. There’s a cool lack of source points too from the successful cancellation of the inter-aural crosstalk. Imagine more of a “wall” of sound, rather than a speaker here, and a speaker there with many dead spots in between."

Translated from the original Norwegian
"The surprise is big when this piece is capable of giving a pretty convincing expression that there really is surround speakers in the room. It does not sound as if there are two speakers, but several speakers at the rear of the room that gives a complete and pretty wide sound from behind."

"Conclusion
Polk SurroundBar is not for those that have to rebuild their garage for their home theatre system, but it is definitely one of the most intelligent products we have seen for the regular consumer with a strong aversion against pulling cables all over their home and mounting speakers on the back wall. In addition it also sounds very nice."

"This is no bluff people, but a close to genius idea that works as its purpose."

"The SurroundBar offers an impressive surround-sound experience without the clutter and installation hassle of conventional 5.1 systems, and it looks stylish to boot."

"get the best there is in audio surround sound with Polk Audio’s SurroundBar!"
Exercise For Men Only
July 2006

"And the sound on Baz Luhrmann’s "Moulin Rouge" was so compelling that the film was half over before I remembered that I was listening to a single box speaker. And that’s probably the feature that impressed me most about the unit. It’s a very satisfying and involving system that will not leave you wanting more."

"...the SurroundBar will get you about as close to discrete surround sound as you can get from a single-box speaker at the front of the room. And its sound quality speaks of its heritage - the Polk speakers sound rich and full-balanced and will blow away the speakers built into any television, flat panel or otherwise."
