Purchased the RC-85 as my front speakers and the RC-65 as the rear surround. Very happy with the sound quality and performance. They sound great for being a small speaker. Were a breeze to install. If you like a lot of bass, pair them up with a good sub...but this should be obvious given their size and purpose.

I was very pleased with the entire experience. The speakers arrived very quickly from Crutchfield to my front door. The RC85i speakers were a breeze to install and they sound great! I almost had purchased a smaller pair of the 55i's, but then decided to upgrade in order to enjoy deeper bass and a broader sound spectrum. It was the right decision. High quality sound and design at an affordable price.

Ok first off I have to say that these speakers sound simply phenomenal! I use them as rear surrounds in my home theater. I am running them off of an Onkyo TX-SR504 receiver in a pretty good size living room with very high ceilings. Simply put, these speakers are more than adequate to fill up the space with sound! I had to knock off a star, however, as one of them had a shoddy mounting mechanism. I still got it in there, but it took a little longer than the other one. That said, I will probably buy 4 more to go in my bedroom when I get around to upgrading my system in there!

Not to Be Overlooked |

Really impressive sound at a great price, and a great overall value. I imagine a lot of people pass them up because they look too small. Don't! I have a 1960s ranch house with a small living room (15 x 13ft) and needed more space: in-wall and in-ceiling speakers to the rescue. These modest speakers turn the entire wall cavity (typically 16-24" wide) into 8-foot speakers. I use two of these with a modest-looking but powerful Polk RM6902 Center speaker mounted below my Panasonic 42" plasma TV, a Polk PSW10 subwoofer, and two Boston Acoustics DSI255 ceiling speakers for surround. If you have a similar sized room, you could spend more than I did and do a lot worse. I did a lot of research online and the results exceeded my expectations. We use our setup for all types of music and home theater uses, and it always comes through. Yes, you can spend thousands more for "better" speakers, but as an audiophile who's been to hundreds of concerts, I think that somewhere along the way the differences are lost to the human ear and you're just paying for bragging rights, brand names, and speakers handcrafted from exotic wood.

Great sound and look, and VERY easy to install. I also have an "acoustically-challenged" family room with a 17' vaulted ceiling and an ONKYO 110 WPC 6.1 receiver is enough to drive a pair of these speakers as surround backs and do a really good job.
