Our take on the Polk Audio 80F/X-RT Speakers

The Polk Audio 80F/X-RT is a pair of 2-way in-wall speakers with an 8-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter, rated at 80W RMS and 100W peak. The 50 Hz to 25 kHz range and 87 dB sensitivity make them easy to drive from a modest AV receiver, and the 8-ohm load suits most home theater amps. They are a step up from Polk's smaller in-wall models in bass reach and output, and they compete with other 8-inch in-walls on midbass weight rather than on smart features. They suit living-room surround and stereo installs where you want full sound without floor space.

Questions and answers

Do the Polk 80F/X-RT speakers need an amplifier?
Yes. They are passive speakers with no built-in amplification, so they need an AV receiver or amplifier. The 8-ohm load and 87 dB sensitivity mean most receivers can drive them.
Can I use them for Dolby Atmos height channels?
No. Polk does not list them as suited for height channels. Use them as left, right or surround speakers and pick an angled in-ceiling model for Atmos overheads.
How much power do they handle?
Polk rates them at 80W RMS and 100W peak. A receiver rated around 50 to 100W per channel is a sensible match.
Do they come as a pair?
Yes, they are sold as a pair of two speakers. Each has an 8-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter in a 2-way design.
Can the grilles be painted to match my wall?
Yes. The grilles come in black or white and can be painted to blend into the wall. Remove the grille before painting.
Do they need a subwoofer?
For music, many owners will be happy without one. For movies, a subwoofer still adds the deep bass these in-walls cannot produce.
Where is the Polk Audio 80F/X-RT Speakers cheapest?
At Nordstrom, for $529.00, as of our latest check.
