Our take on the Polk Audio 255c-RT In Wall Center Channel Speaker

The Polk Audio 255c-RT is an in-wall center channel speaker built for home theater systems. It pairs two 5.25-inch Dynamic Balance polypropylene woofers with a 1-inch silk and polymer dome tweeter, and Polk's Power Port design helps it play louder with less port noise than a conventional ported cabinet. It is timbre matched to Polk's Legend, Reserve and RTI lines, so it blends with those speakers in a surround setup. It suits people building or finishing a media room who want a center channel that disappears into the wall rather than sitting on a shelf.
