I purchased a pair of these speakers to use as surrounds. At less than $80 per speaker, these speakers represent excellent value. They have the same warm quality that are found in other Polk speakers and the tweeters put out some nice highs. I use these speakers in a room that is about 150 sq. ft. In a bigger room, you might want to go for in-wall speakers that put out a richer sound like the Polk TC265i.Installation is a breeze. In fact, probably the most difficult part about the installation may be finding the wall studs (if you don't have a good stud sensor) and running the wires to the speaker if your house isn't already wired.
