Big Speaker Sound...Without the Big Speaker
Beauty and Brawn in One Compact System
Five compact speakers and a high performance Powered Subwoofer make up the RM10 compact home theater speaker system. Its stylishly sculpted Pewter anodized Aluminum Satellites look awesome next to your plasma or flat screen television, and can be mounted either on the wall using their aimable brackets or on shelves. Either way, this system was designed for minimal intrusion into your space, and maximum sound quality. High tech materials and features, such as Satellite PowerPorts® and Subwoofer Slot Load venting technologies, ensure superior sub/sat system performance, delivering rich, full-bodied, big speaker sound from stylish, compact packages.
The RM10 features:
- Stylishly curved satellite enclosures formed of heavy duty, non-resonant Pewter-finish Aluminum; the shape breaks up internal standing wave resonance for pure, lifelike sound.
- Rich Pewter finish with deep charcoal trim and grilles
- Complete 5.1 system - front and surround satellites, center and subwoofer - packaged in one carton.
- Individual satellites available to accommodate 6.1 or 7.1 channel systems.
- The satellites feature Power Port Vents hidden under the grilles to extend and strengthen their lower-midrange performance for a seamless blend with the subwoofer output. Unlike competing satellite systems, with this system you'll experience full, rich, natural voices and other midrange sounds.
Center Channel Speaker features an exclusive Center Channel Cradle that aims the speaker toward the listener, from above or below the TV.
- Satellites feature Bolt-On Swivel Wall-Mounting Brackets with hidden wire channels
- Threaded inserts on the back of the satellite and center speakers allow use of fully articulating brackets (sold separately).
- Satellites feature a 3-1/4 inch (8.25cm) Mineral Filled Polymer Dynamic Balance midrange driver for clear, distortion-free midrange.
- Center speaker uses two midrange drivers to handle the center channel's high output requirements with minimal distortion.
- Broad dispersion design allows everyone in the listening area to hear clear, well-balanced sound.
- Satellites feature high performance 3/4 inch (19mm) Dynamic Balance Silk/Polymer Composite Dome Tweeter for sweet highs and more lifelike imaging.
- Connect your RM Series Satellites securely and conveniently with their high quality 5-way binding post inputs.
- Powered Subwoofer with 10 inch driver and Slot Load Bass Vent pours out deep, efficient bass.
- Satellites are magnetically shielded for safe placement near your state-of-the-art TV or video monitor with no risk of video distortion.

Sound for the price, easy to set up.
Weaknesses:
User manual for speaker setup is "weak".
Review:
For a home on the beach with a small but open concept living room, the RM-10 system fits evry nicely. Sound for the price is very good when combined with a nice, high-end A/V receiver. Not too overpowering, but not underpowered either, this sytem delivers very nicely in a 300 sq. ft. room.

Manuals
Review:
The sound is great. With good seperation of tones between subwoofer and satellites and center speaker. The speaker manuals are dissapointing however and not at all clear.

Smooth beautiful sound at low power, crisp and clear. Very easy to install.
Weaknesses:
Well you could say the manual but they are so easy to install you really don't need one.
Review:
Outstanding sound emanates from these small cubes, clear, crisp and undistorted. Driven by a NAD-T973 7x140 they handle all you can give them and still stand in the room. Best bang for the buck!!
