    • Immersive In-Ceiling Speakers – Perfect for Dolby Atmos Setups
Style: Speaker
The Polk Audio 80F/X-RT in-Ceiling 2-Way Round Surround Speakers have taken my Dolby Atmos system to the next level. With their 8” woofer and dual 3/4” tweeters, the sound is rich, detailed, and incredibly immersive. Surround effects fill the room seamlessly, making movies, music, and games feel more lifelike than ever. I love that the paintable sheer grille blends perfectly into the ceiling — they’re almost invisible once installed, keeping the room clean and stylish. Installation was straightforward, and the build quality is excellent. At 100 watts of power handling, they deliver plenty of volume without distortion. ✅ Pros: Immersive surround sound perfect for Dolby Atmos 8” woofer + dual tweeters create detailed, room-filling audio Paintable grilles make them nearly invisible in the ceiling Solid build quality with 100W power handling Great balance of performance and design ❌ Cons: Requires cutting into the ceiling — installation is more permanent than bookshelf speakers Bass is good, but best paired with a subwoofer for full impact 💡 Tips: Pair with a dedicated subwoofer for the best home theater experience. Use them as rear or height channels in an Atmos system for immersive effects. Paint the grilles to match your ceiling for a completely seamless look. Make sure to run good quality speaker wire before installation to future-proof your setup. Bottom Line: The Polk Audio 80F/X-RT speakers are an excellent choice for a Dolby Atmos system. They sound fantastic, disappear into the ceiling, and create an immersive audio experience that feels like a true theater at home ... show more

    • excellent overhead speakers, super easy install
Style: Speaker
love these. I used them to update my home theater to a dolby atmos. I love the construction of them and the ease of installation. The only thing that could use improvement is to be able to remove the polk label before painting, because one you paint the grill to match your ceiling the polk audio is gone and its a small blank area, would be nice to have it say polk either by sticker or removable emblem. But they sound excellent and made a great addition to my theater. ... show more

Style: Speaker
I just purchased the 80 F/X for my rear surround in a 7.1 setup. I have 15 foot vaulted ceilings so I was concerned about the quality with such high ceilings and wanted speakers big enough to deliver great surround noise in a big room. I considered the MC 80's as they were highly rated, however I didn't want to take any chances and went with these. So far I have not been disappointed. They produce great distinctive sound and are perfect for my set up and living room layout. Even with the high ceiling placement you can hear them no problem and the bass is pretty good too. I hooked them up as center channels just to see what they can really do and wow they sounded great, I almost considered keeping them to run center and front channels, but I have a definitive technology mythos sound bar for that and it sounds amazing as well. I highly recommend these speakers especially if you need to fill a large room. ... show more

    • Easy Install and Smooth Sound
Style: Speaker
I bought these to replace some smaller rear speakers in my 5.1 theater system. They provide much fuller sound than the little micros I had in the rear and work well when I have my Marantz in "all zone stereo" mode, where the fronts and rears are getting full signal and power. The tweeters are on an angle, so you can rotate the assembly until the tweeters are firing toward the listening area, instead of straight down. The room is now full of sound! The install was easy and they seem very well-made. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that they don't quite have the detailed and nuanced clarity of some of my (admittedly more expensive) speakers. I wouldn't use these as my front mains, but for rears I would buy them again. ... show more

    • Amazing Surround Sound Speakers!

Review Image by Lakeshow75
Installed these speakers in less than two hours. Bought them to match my Polk 265 RT front speakers. These speakers sit almost completely flush with the ceiling and the grilles make them look almost invisible when installed. These are replacing my older BOSE wall mounted surround speakers, and the difference is night and day. These Polk speakers sound deep and rich, much more sound than I expected. They completely round out my 5.1 system and really anchor the rear stage. I am extremely pleased with them! ... show more

    • Great Speakers
Style: Speaker
We have a 5.1 audio system for the living room. I purchased the Polk Audio 80F/X-LS for the front 3 speakers (right, center, and left) and purchased the Polk Audio 80F/X-RT for the 2 back speakers (right and left). The house is a new build - we ran the audio cable and used the 9-3/8" diameter Polk pre-construction brackets before the drywall went up - so installation was a breeze. I rotated the speakers towards the listening area and added the Polk DSW PRO 440 subwoofer. We have been listening to them from about a year and are very happy with the purchase. ... show more
