I know the Polk online literature says that you can place an RC6s in a bathroom and even in a shower stall, but do I dare install one for a client in a steam shower? This is a $12M brownstone in Boston overlooking the Boston Gardens - if there is a better speaker for this application, let me know, but the rest of the home is being done in Polk...

    Polk says, "Moisture-resistant materials make it safe for use in bathrooms, kitchens, saunas, even under outdoor roof-eaves.", so it would seem to fit the bill. However, the Atrium series may be the better choice, "Meets or exceeds ASTM D5894-Salt Fog, Mil Standard 810 Immersion and Mil Standard 883 MEthod 1009 8 for salt and corrosion tests."

    "A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    We have used the Atrium series of all sizes for roof decks and patios. They hold up beautifully in the Boston-area weather and also appear to have no problems with the salty air of Cape Cod. For this application, the client has specifically requested an in-ceiling speaker within the steam shower enclosure. We'll give the RC6s a try. Thanks for the fast reply!
