This is the cheapest it has ever been.

For those looking for an affordable (but quality) In Wall/Ceiling Centre Speaker this one might be for you.

I haven't signed up to Amazon Prime, but from what I can understand this should apply when selecting Amazon Global Standard Shipping. Can someone please confirm.

The speaker sells in Australia for ~ $450-$500.

Dynamic Balance®

Patented Polk Audio technology and construction techniques produce powerful, deep bass performance, especially when you need it most.

Power Port®

Patented bass venting design smoothly transitions air flow, eliminating turbulence and distortion, for deeper, more efficient bass impact.

Sheer-Grille™

Vanishing® Series built-in speakers feature Polk's exclusive wafer-thin Sheer-Grille™, a magnetically-secured grille that protrudes only 7mm from its surroundings. Sheer-Grilles have nearly transparent, ultra-small perfs, and are acoustically inert, for dynamic, unimpeded sound and more uniform coverage, even in larger rooms.

Reflective Room Compensation

Reflective surfaces in rooms can make sound brighter and cause image distortion. Engaging the Vanishing reflective room compensation feature lowers the tweeter level to compensate for reflective surfaces. Vanishing reflective room compensation is a custom audio control that cuts the level only in the 4-5kHz range, exactly where reflectivity destroys sound quality.

Distance Toggle

Crossover adjustments flatten response bumps caused by nearby walls, reducing "boominess" for more lifelike sound from any position.

    Nope

  • Hi Op,
    The problem with this deal is it’s one speaker.
    Don’t Polk do a set and if so what’s the package price?

  • pity the Centre speaker isn't a true MTM. The tweeter is offset and not perfectly inline with the mids. It would have been a nice option for a 7x MTM speaker set. I've always liked the sound of a nice pair of MTMs compared to a speaker with a tweeter and single mid-range (MTM layout of drivers = Mid-Tweeter-Mid)

    • Did those MTMs use a vertical layout though? MTM has a specific radiation pattern that works well vertically, I'm not sure it works so well horisontally.

  • I believe a pair of 265-RT would be a more appropriate pairing with a 255C-RT.

    I've had the set of three for about a year now, and love them. Just don't bend the grille at all, as they don't bend back properly.

  • Amazon Prime AU only works if the seller has listed the item in Amazon AU.

    In this case, this item is not qualified
