I recently purchased this to upgrade my outdated system. I am currently using it with an onkyo receiver and the sound is awesome. It comes with all the hardware to wall mount the speakers which I thought was great. The only drawback I found were the connectors, as someone else had said. Anything bigger than a 16 gauge wire may be a problem. It is easily solved by using Monster Cable QL GFP-H With Self Crimping Gold Flex Pin Connectors (2 Pairs) or other like products. I would highly recommend these for sound quality, size and appearance. I don’t think there is anything better out there for the same price. After all, they are Polk Audio.
I also would suggest Monster Standard THX-Certified Speaker Cable (100 Feet) with this product. Excellent quality and great price for wire. It is small gauge but for 25ft or less will be perfect.

The RM 705 is a nicely constructed system. It is a definate upgrade to my home theatre JVC system from 6 years ago.
One design flaw in my mind is the ease or slight lack of to attach wire to the small speakers. I know in theory you only do it once but the springs could be replaced with a push/pull type grabber.
The five speakers are beautifully finished in a nice high gloss black wich picks up fingerprints like a magnet – so be prepared to wipe them off.
Bottom line is that the sound is great for the price and the minor issues of putting the syatem together is well worth it!

I have an Onkyo system and wanted to upgrade. The speakers were to big, even though the sound was great. I ordered these and a Denon AVR 790 receiver. The setup is crazy. The sound is so crisp and the sub is smooth and clean. The look great and sound better. I paid $[...]with the sub. Best Buy wanted $[...] w/o a sub. i swa today they are down to $[...]. You just cant go wrong with these as they will shake your windows out. what I really like is they sound great with music. a lot of home theater setups sound like crap with pure music, not these. Stop looking and order these.

i have these connected to Yamaha RX-V465 and they sound amazingggggggg
these speakers are very well constructed, piano black, nice shine, good balance and well positioned connectors. the sound quality is superb. the sub produces nice and thick bass accompanied with the center speaker. just remember that the center frequency is 95Hz and the satellites are at 120Hz so make sure you setup the receiver crossover at 100Hz [instead of 80Hz] so there is a slight overlap between the sub and center. the sub crossover set to max i.e. 200Hz i found this to be the best setting for my room and specially since the sub is a downward throwing sub. they speakers come with wall mounting braces and tilt stand for the center. the only issue is the spring clips do looks fragile. overall a great buy and worth every penny especially for a beginner home theater system and that too at $299 an amazing buy

I purchased these speakers to pair with an Onkyo HT-RC180. The speakers arrived well packed and include all the hardware you need to wall mount them. The screw mounts for the satellites are on the bottom of the speakers, so if you plan to use them on a stand, you’ll either have to attach them to the wall mounts and then attach those to the stand or find stands that accommodate a bottom mount.
The look of the speakers is outstanding. They don’t overwhelm the room or the television. Once calibrated, the subwoofer provides a rich, textured bass in a small, good-looking package.
My only complaint about system is the cheap spring terminals on the satellites. They don’t seem to grab the cable well. (Note that there is no speaker cable included and you’ll need a traditional rca cable for the sub.) At the Amazon price, however, the speakers are worth every penny.
