RM85 owners chime in..

I am looking at downgrading from my bulkier polk speakers to satellites due to smaller living area.. I will likely be going with RM85's and a PSW111 sub.. My only uses are directv and xbox 360/dvd

how would you rate this set-up compared to other satellite speaker set-ups?

I have the rm 95 and the rm 20, which are both a minute step above the rm 85's. The rm 95, the one I have the most experience with, are a really good starter kit. In a smaller size room (in the 12x12 give or take a few feet) these things will go a decent way to impressing you. They go very loud (dependent minorly upon your receiver) and for their price are pretty good in terms of quality. Work well for both music and ht. I had them in a dorm room for a few years and they did me very well. Am moving to an apartment now and am upgrading to the rti a7's and series. I had the 95's with the dswpro 400 sub, but I have heard good things about the psw111. If you are looking for either the rm95 or the rm20 both of mine are for sale, but good luck with your set either way!

I don't see where you have your Rm20's for sale? is this the 5.1 rm20 or 5.0 or 2.0? how much are you asking for the rm20's?

I have it in the sales/wanted category of the forum. It may be pushed down a little bit. It is listed with the subwoofer I am selling as well. Asking about 350 for it but will compromise if absolutely necessary, brand new unopened box. Here is the link:
