Excellent deal, do not miss if in the market for atmos / audio / surround speakers
These are the vanishing series with ultra thin/sheer magnetic grill, and almost no visible bezel
I cant find any difference between these and the V60 series most places carry for $100 - $199 each
Also, specs / performance on these are much better than the MC60 / MC / RC series.
These reach Much lower frequencies and better response, and at this price cost the same or less than MC60's / RC's.
The MC's / RC's do not hit very low frequencies and they dont have vanishing/sheer/bezel-less like the V / VT / RT Vanishing series
They are on par with the RTI / RT series and match perfectly with them - but cost much less.
Polk seems to be updating their line with same spec'd but higher priced newer models lately so jump on these while you can.
I missed these last time on sale and literally as i was on a ladder cutting speaker holes for MC60's and Klipsch KH6's i gave it one last chance to find better speakers on my budget and sure enough these are back on sale! UNREAL.
I put down the dremel instantly, and mc60 / klipsch templates. Ill wait for delivery of these saturday !!
Using for (4) atmos ceiling speakers to match the vt65 rears, 265-RT fronts, center, and surrounds.
I'll use the other lower end speakers i had gathered for less important distributed audio/ambient music.

(or for legacy dolby surround if not going atmos, and if side or rear wall placement is not an option for your room, use these overhead as sides and/or rear surrounds)
And get bigger floor standing speakers for front (floor standing towers like definitive technology BP6, or polk 265RT (dual 6.5" per speaker) in-walls, for example. Or at least a rectangular speaker (just for aesthetics if nothing else) like the polk VT65 if you can find them or the Polk 65RT.
These will be more than fine for distributed music/audio as well. Where i find decent brand name $70-$150 per pair speakers usually do fine for ambient music, but at this price, why not use these for that as well, more bang for buck and very nice aesthetically. Usually the lower priced/budget speakers do not have such nice vanishing bezels and wafer thin magnetic grills like these
The woofer in this case will have a high crossover point to allow it produce the range of sound from the low end up through the mid range until the tweeter takes over for the highs.
In a three-way the mid range will be handled by a more purpose built speaker. A three-way is not always better (average person can't tell the difference), and a high end two-way with a well designed crossover will blow a low end three-way away.

thanks!
You can use for fronts and rears but if its a primary media/theater room I'd prefer to use these as 2 or 4 ceiling speakers (9.1.2/9.1.2/7.1.4/7.1.2/5.1.4/5.1.2) for dolby atmos

I think you are talking about open box price. This usually sells for 80-90$. They are on sale for 60$ dew times a year.
Very easy. The plastic brackets are very sturdy. Make sure to use template for right size of hole. The magnetic grill holds very well.
