'Tis the season for Christmas music -- a lot of it. If you want to rock out some serious holiday cheer, you'd better have a good set of speakers. Amazon wants you to give the gift of audio this season (even if it's to yourself), so they are offering a very nice deal on Polk's RM705 5.1 channel Home Theater System.
This 5.1 speaker package typically has a list price of $599.95. However, for a limited time, Amazon is slashing 58 percent off that, making your final purchase price just $219.99 including shipping. That means that you'll save $379 on this set. If that doesn't make you want to belt out a few Christmas carols, maybe you should have a little more eggnog (the happy kind) and take a closer look at this set:
*NOTE* - Updated pricing as Amazon lowered this another $30 (from $249.99 to $219.99) for Cyber Monday
The RM705 is a complete 5.1-channel surround sound speaker set designed by the speaker geniuses at Polk Audio, a company based in Baltimore, Maryland since 1972. Of course, final assembly of the speakers is done in Asia (as with most manufacturers these days), but design, engineering and service are all based right here in the U.S. of A. The system includes four of the compact RM7 satellite speakers, the RM7C center channel, and a 50-watt powered subwoofer that can enhance all of your movie watching, gaming, sports, and even the daily news.
Each of the heavy-duty, non-resonant composite speaker enclosures has a sharp high-gloss finish and a "Reuleaux Triangular Polygon" shape which minimizes reflections. Inside, each speaker has a 2.5-inch bass/mid driver and one 0.5-inch tweeter. The separate powered subwoofer has a compact vented enclosure, with an 8-inch long-throw driver and a built-in power amp so it won't pout any additional straing on your receiver or amplifier.
This package includes all of the necessary wall brackets to mount the satellites. There's also a shelf cradle to nestle that center channel right under a flat-panel HDTV. Do make sure to pick up some speaker cable though. We'd recommend something simple like this RCA Speaker Cable on Amazon.
When you order this system, make sure that you buy directly from Amazon -- not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. Amazon is the retailer that is offering this massive discount. Shop now and you can score free Super Saver shipping and still have this set arrive in plenty of time to put under the tree or to provide tunes for your in-house holiday party.
