Polk Audio RM8000T Floorstanding Speaker, Titanium (Single) description
Looking for a speaker that makes a lasting impression without calling undue attention to itself? Look no further than the Polk RM8000T floorstanding model. Each speaker (it's packaged singly, so you'll need to purchase two for a stereo setup) makes a great visual complement to today's state-of-the-art TVs and monitors while reproducing stunning high-performance sound in a home theater system. The speaker owes its topnotch performance to its quartet of 4.5-inch polymer composite woofers with Butyl rubber surrounds and 1-inch silk/polymer composite dome tweeter. The drivers combine to create a wide, distortion-free midrange--even at high volume levels--and clear, detailed highs with lifelike imaging. The overall frequency response checks in at 42 Hz to 26 kHz.

The quality is further enhanced by the patented PowerPort bass venting technology, which extends and strengthens the lower midrange performance to ensure a seamless blend with the subwoofer output. The result is a midrange with virtually no "hole" between the speaker and sub frequencies, helping male vocals sound rich and full rather than thin and weak, as with most other home theater speaker systems. Meanwhile, the speaker's curved cabinet shape and internal angled partitions help break up standing waves for superior clarity. Additional sound-enhancing features include anti-diffraction grilles, which minimize diffraction to produce a spacious, three-dimensional sound image, and Mylar capacitors in the crossovers, which extend the high-frequency response and improve the audio detail.

Each RM8000T speaker does quite well as a standalone stereo speaker, but is particularly powerful when teamed with other tonally matched Polk RM series models in a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 surround sound system. And serious audiophiles will delight in the speaker's dual bi-ampable, five-way binding post inputs. Bi-amping lets listeners connect two sets of cables to the rear of the speaker--one set for woofers and one set for tweeters--with each set carrying its own amplified signal. The discrete amplification creates a sound with more headroom and impact.

As a final bonus, the speaker is magnetically shielded against video interference, so you can locate it near a TV or video monitor without distorting the picture. The titanium-finished speaker, which measures 6.19 by 45.12 by 7.88 inches (W x H x D), comes with an accessory spike kit for positioning at an optimal angle. It's also backed by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.
