Polk Audio OWM3 On-Wall Speaker (Pair, White)

Polk Audio OWM3 On-Wall Speaker (Pair, White) Review



PROS:
These are some great sounding speakers. More than great, they sound spectacular. It has a very clear, full, rich complete sound that can sound as awesome as the front and surround sound speakers. I chose the white speakers and the color blends perfectly well with a nice limited edition picture resting between them. You would not believe how well they look on the wall over my sofa and how many compliments I get on their appearance. The speakers were easy to put up and the picture on the net does not do them justice. I can put these speakers anywhere that I want to. I can corner them between two walls, mount them on a stand or just sit them on a table. How sweet is that? Also, the shape of each speaker affords an easy blend into any decor. I know. I'm a woman.

CONS:
Barring someone receiving a lemon, I don't think that anyone could find a legitimate con to these, or for that matter, any of the Polk speakers in this series.

OTHER THOUGHTS:
My receiver is the Onkyo TX-SR706. I have the Polk Tsi300's floor standing speakers as my front left and right speakers. The Polk CS10 is my center speaker, the Polk Tsi100's bookshelf speakers are my surround sound speakers and The Polk OWM3's are my rear back speakers. They are all made to go with one another and are voice matched. Alas, my sub-woofer is a Yamaha SW315 10" powered sub.

All of the speakers are black except the center speaker, which is cherry wood and the OWM3's, which are white. The colors work well since the rears are on the wall above the sofa. Since they are each others matches, I'm able to set my crossover to 80hz and sit back and enjoy the show. It is A LOT OF FIRST RATE SOUND. I've been a music lover my entire life and I have never, ever had a system that sounds as wonderful and first rate as this.

It's my first time building a system and everyone that's comes to my home is super impressed with the way that it sounds and the way that it looks.

Polk Audio OWM3 On-Wall Speaker (Pair, White) Overview


The OWM3 is a dedicated Surround/Satellite that’s about as unobtrusive as an on-wall speaker can be. Equally capable of being part of a 2.1 2nd zone system, or as a multi-channel surround system, the OWM3s unique curved design and removable base make it easy to mount in a corner or simply place on a table. In fact, with the OWM3 you have six different mounting possibilities, including angled wall mounting. The OWM3 incorporates a 4 1/2" driver, which employs Capacitive Coupling Bass Technology for low frequency response that’s truly surprising given the speaker’s ultra compact size. A choice of either white or black finish makes the speaker blend in easily to any decor. It’s simple. It's easy. It's pure Polk Audio.

Perfect for intended use - David C. Easter - Austin, TX United States
I purchased this pair of speakers to replace a pair of old set rear surround speakers, one of which was not working correctly. They work great! Highely recommended.






Great Speakers for book shelf or home theater. - Stephen R. Kostelnik - Columbus OH
The best book shelf speakers that I ever owned. I was so impressed that I bought a pair to use as the real channel speakers on my home theater. They have crisp clear sound.



Great speakers for home theater. - R. Cherkasskiy -
These speakers are every bit as good as they are advertised. One thing has to be kept in mind that they are for home theater application.
