Review:
I recently got the deal of the century by purchasing this set in mint condition from someone who said they had upgraded. Upgraded to what? Anyone who craves perfect sound for music or video has to buy this system. You will love yourself. Bose step to the back of the line. I am a former Bose owner.

Review:
WOW, is all I can say!! My system has never sounded better! I always heard Polk Audio were great speakers and now I am a convert. My wife loves them too because the speaker are small and I hide the powered subwoofer in the corner behind the drapes. The sound is VERY BIG, crisp, accurate, with solid bass!! I love it!

Audio Revolution.com, 1999
"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."
