Big Speaker Sound... Without the Big Speaker
The new RM6200 Home Theater Speaker System delivers the RM Series' decade-long award-winning performance tradition and ease-of-use at a new low price. This tiny package of 5 small timbre-matched satellites and an 8" powered subwoofer (packaged separately**), is filled with surprisingly BIG home theater thrills, and incredible value.
The RM6200 features:
- Perfectly matched Front, Center and Surround satellites guarantee seamless, lifelike surround sound imaging. Perfect for today's state-of-the-art Dolby Digital (AC-3) systems.
- Soft lines and sculptured shapes blend unobtrusively into any decor.
- The small satellite cabinets are constructed of injection molded polymer for low enclosure resonance and better sound.
- The 8" woofer driver in the powered subwoofer (PSW250, included in system but packaged separately) belts out big, beefy bass for maximum movie and music enjoyment.
- Satellites feature built-in keyhole slots for easy wall mounting.
- Satellites also accept OmniMount fully articulating mounting brackets.
- All satellites (including Center) and Subwoofer are magnetically shielded for safe placement next to your TV.
- Gold-plated 5-way binding post inputs for secure, high performance cable connections.
- Satellites available in Black or White finishes to match any room. (Center Channels and Subwoofers are available in Black only.)
**Satellites are packaged in one carton, subwoofer in another. This gives you the freedom to choose the Polk subwoofer model that is right for you. Some retailers independently price the satellites and subwoofer. Be sure to clarify what components are included when considering any RM Series system price tag or quote. RM6200 Satellites are not available separately.
About the RM Series
Amazingly small and easy to integrate into any decor, sleek molded RM speakers use exclusive Polk technologies, such as Dynamic Balance®, to really fill your room with sound. They deliver the level of performance demanded by audio enthusiasts, while providing the utility and price to fit any budget and home theater environment.
The RM's unique combination of performance and utility has earned the Polk RM Series the coveted Audio Video International Grand Prix Award for ten consecutive years!
Powered Subwoofers Set Polk RM Above the Competition
The key to a great sub/sat system? Polk powered subwoofers provide far better performance and vastly more control than any passive woofer could offer. With a Polk RM System you'll hear bass depth and impact that challenges professional movie theater systems. (And better than any movie theater, you'll be able to precisely control the bass level to suit your taste and the acoustics of your room.) It's deep, powerful, plaster-cracking bass, and greater placement flexibility than any competitive system with a wimpy passive woofer.
Matched Sats - The Secret of Perfect Surround Sound
Surround sound moves around your room from speaker to speaker. Airplanes fly over, tornadoes whip around the room, and bullets fly past your couch. As sound moves from speaker to speaker, it's vitally important that the character of that sound does not change as it passes from speaker to speaker. Mismatched satellite speakers cannot do this. So the left, right and center satellite speakers of the RM Series Home Theater Speaker Systems use identical drivers and tweeters throughout to insure a perfectly lifelike, seamless soundstage. You get maximum sonic realism and surround sound fun.

Review:
I was a little skepticle at first about purchasing such small speakers at such a good price, but this speaker system is totally awesome. Playing movies like Star Wars and Jurasic Park will literally shake you in your chair and make the floor rumble. If you are looking for a grat system for under $1000 this is the one for you.

Great bass and sats at a great price. Compact sat size is a real plus for living rooms that you don't want looking like a stereo showroom.
Weaknesses:
None that I can think of.
Review:
I have the 6200 sats and the 350 sub (not the 250). The combination is unbelievable. For example, Jurassic Park, The Mummy, and Joy Ride will shake the floor. Try the last few scenes in The Mummy...as the stone tomb walls start to close. The sound is incredibe. Powered by a 100w Onkyo receiver (TX-DS696)- clean power. I checked quite a few systems and found nothing else like this combination, unless you take a quantum leap in price.

Center channel clarity, sub/sat blend (no midrange hole)

None at this price
Review:
Recently installed the RM6200 with the PSW250 Sub (and an Onkyo TXDS595 receiver). Gave it a test drive with 'The Mummy', and I was blown away! Very clean center channel, excellent surround effects, and the 250 does an admirable job. Considering an upgrade to the PSW350, but very satisfied for now.

Too cheap.
Review:
I finally installed these little guys on my walls. Not only do they sound amazing but they also look great on the walls. I hooked them to my Denon A/V Receiver and films like Saving Private Ryan come alive. The realism is scary.

Speakers are amazing! the sats are clear and handle power with ease! Also the sub is very powerful even though it is rated at 50watts
Weaknesses:
None that i could hear!
Review:
I've had these for a while now and im very satisfied and pleased with the sound and performance they have. I tested these and the RM6600 and i didnt really here that much difference in the sound, only the base was better in the RM6600. These were much better for my budget. Better than some bose that i also tested! When i first watched jurassic park and pearl harbor i was blown away with the clear sound and the bass! Excellent buy! with no regrets!

Get Real!!! These are Polk's.. They have none!
Review:
I've been a fan of Mathew Polk's work since the begining following his departure from JBL. Every since I heard my first Polk speakers, I knew that Polk Audio was going to be the reference speaker to beat.. It's been a long time since then and I have yet to find a speaker that can hold a candle to a Polk. I purchased my RM6200 system from a local dealer virtually in their box. The sales rep asked if I would like to hear them, and I told him "No... I know how there going to sound. Nothing short of awesome". I got them home and set them up. Upon hearing them in action a very large smile broke across my face. I knew I would not be disappointed. The RM6200 Satellites were flawless. After listening to a DTS-ES (Everone knows DTS beats Dolby Digital!) encoded DVD on my Denon 6.1 system, I knew I had not made a mistake. The soundfield was a perfect 360 degrees without ANY holes. The highs were vibrent and the mids astonishing. The PSW350 Sub (Purchased seperately) literally rocked the house with it's powerful deep lows. My friend was over to watch ID4 last night. He's thinking on selling his $1200 Bose 5.1 system and buying a Polk Audio RM series system. Yes! Another one sees the light (or rather HEARS the sound)! I will ALWAYS select Polk. A job well done for Mathew and his team!!! Kudo's!!

Good clean performance from low to high sound volumes. Very little drop off in the voice range.
Weaknesses:
Very good for this price range. Offcourse, you can pay more money and get the bigger THX certified speakers.
Review:
This is one of the best speaker (RM6200) and subwoofer (PSW250) combinations in this price range. The combination with the Onkyo Receiver 595 gives amazing sound from a number of sources including DVD. The sound is not shrill and bass can be adjusted as per the listener's liking.

Sound great and white blends in to the walls very good. Very powerful for small packages.
Weaknesses:
Subwooper not enough for me, had to upgrade to 100 watt YST-SW105, now perfect to my taste, as a complete set.
Review:
Perfect for the price, performance and most of all the big sound in a small package.

"...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!"
