Our take on the Polk Audio 90-RT Full-Range Bandpass Dual-Port In-Ceiling

The Polk Audio 90-RT is a round in-ceiling speaker with a 1-inch dome tweeter and a 6.5-inch woofer, built for whole-home audio and surround channels. Its aimable tweeter and paintable grille make it easy to fit into a ceiling and point sound toward the listening area. It is a passive speaker, so it needs an amplifier or AV receiver and has no Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or app control. Compared with powered in-ceiling speakers, it is simpler and more flexible for multi-room wiring, but it asks more of your setup.
