I have a all Polk system and needed a pair of satellites for rear surround use and these were a great match.
Speakers have plenty of volume when (I have a Harman Kardon receiver) and the midrange is good. I would get these over the RM 101 or the RM 7 because it has a 3.5" driver vs. 2.5" on the newer models. The bigger driver provides a more flexible frequency response of 40-22000 hz vs 95-22000 hz. You'll get better midrange sound which is what surrounds do most of the time. There's also a silk .5" tweeter which is pretty smooth, no harsh brightness here.
Provided you have a decent sub to take care of the low end, these should will be great surround speakers. Especially for the price.
Pros
- Good sound in small package
- Good heft to a small speaker
- Wide frequency response
- Smooth highs
- Good mid range
- Inexpensive
Cons
- Not the most attractive
- Spring wire clips are kinda cheap
- Speakers are more charcoal in color |
Forget going to the movies

| Full, rich sound with a good bass effect from the rear port. Would only use for rear surround speakers, since their small size would not bring enough sound by themselves to properly fill a room. |
Excellent

| I ordered this one as a "cheaper" speaker and also a more expensive Boston Acoustic speaker. BA speaker was about 1.5x bigger and I expected it to blow this Polk one out of the air. Surprisingly, the smaller less expensive Polk had much clearer high notes and bass was punchier. Both had about the same loud level. Great speaker for small price! |

| I was recently in the market for satellite speakers to upgrade my ONKYO Surround sound system, all i wanted were the satellite speakers. I searched at all the usual retail stores. I had done my research and was set on buying POLK speakers. The retailers also highly recommended them but i was only able to find them in sets which included a center speaker, plus the ones in the set were half the size for about $600. I then turned to AMAZON and was able to get a much better speaker at a great price $286 for all four including shipping and taxes! The clarity and sound quality is incredible, i will definitely be hearing from my neighbors soon as I tend to turn up the volume. So far i have experienced zero distortion, these combined with my PS3 and movies on Blu ray - just blow you away - Highly recommend these speakers |

The Polk RM6751 satellite speaker accommodates listeners who want to add a channel or two to their existing 5.1-channel surround sound speaker system. Specifically designed for Polk's RM6750 setup--which itself comes with four satellites, a center speaker, and a subwoofer--the satellite helps fill out the rear effects, creating a true top-of-the-line home theater compatible with the latest surround encoding formats. Each RM6751 speaker is equipped with a 3.25-inch polymer composite cone midrange driver that's lightweight and efficient, along with a high-performance 0.5-inch silk dome tweeter. Combined, the drivers create a clear, distortion-free midrange and smooth highs. The speaker also employs the same PowerPort bass vent technology used in Polk's line of full-sized speakers, thus improving the lower midrange response. The result is a midrange with no "hole" between the satellite and the sub frequencies, helping male vocals sound rich and full rather than thin and weak (as with most other sub/sat systems). Meanwhile, the satellite's integrated baffle and grille design allows for maximum sound dispersion and minimum diffraction, letting everyone in the room hear the same clear, well-balanced audio. The speaker is housed within a mineral-filled, non-resonant, black-finished polypropylene enclosure that not only sounds natural, but also looks great. To top it off, the speaker includes an integrated keyhole slot-mounting bracket for effortless wall mounting. And because the speaker is magnetically shielded, you can locate the speaker near the TV without suffering from video interference. The speaker measures 4.06 by 6.5 by 5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty. What's in the Box RM6751 satellite speaker, mounting bracket, user's manual.
