    Polk Audio RM705 5.1 Home Theater System (Set of Six, Black)

    • Sure, these things can render explosions, and 5.1 surround is amazing if you have never heard it before
    • I don't know of a better surround system for just over two hundred dollars.
    • Unpack it, set it up, connect it to your receiver, and you've got the excitement of dynamic, thrilling surround sound with deep bass for movies, games and TV."The all black 6 speaker (5 satellite speakers, one powered 50 watt subwoofer
    • This is easy to set up, and provides and remarkable surround sound and home theater experience for the money.
    • I did this only one time, and the "balance" for all the speakers and subwoofer then emitted perfectly balanced sound as far as I could tell--absolutely great surround sound
    • Take your time to use good, thick wire (14ga min), make good connections (equal length wire for each pair!), and properly place and aim the speakers to get a great surround experience
    • , DVD, Tovo, iPod, and Media Center all interfaced with a set of great surround speakers to be able to listen to anything on any one of these devices
    • If you enjoy your movies in nice surround sound go for it.
    • I currently have them setup on just shelves at the moment but can't wait to get them mounted around the room in a proper surround sound setup.
    • The receiver I had been using a Sony STR-DE935 had 5.1 surround, but the 10 year old receiver lacked the latest HDMI ports.
    • And the surround 5.1 channels stopped working.
    • I also put my front R/L speakers on the Atlantic Satellite Speaker Stands (worked fine after having to alter (drill a hole) in the mounting bracket on the stands) since the polk speakers have bottom mounting screws, not back mounting screws.
