If the OWM3s start moving again, I would love to hear them. I have LSi15s, and need something easy and unobtrusive to mount, so I'd like to see if these will mesh.
If someone can get them to me, I'll handle mailing them to the next person. Not sure why doro is responsible for all of the shipping labels. -
Polk Audio's own, Jon_S will be taking over this and all the other Polk demo programs in the very near future. Be aware that there will be major changes to the way the programs are run.Political Correctness'.........defined

Hey, for those of you with these demo's still in hand, Merry Xmas, they are now yours. Thanks for participating and simply confirm you have them so we can check off the boxes on this spreadsheet. We've been working on this transition for over a year and this was the quickest and easiest way to get this stuff closed out and new things dropped into the mix.
Polk would like everyone involved to know that your input has been greatly appreciated and if you haven't already filled out a review in the product pages, please do so when you get a chance. More demo's will be heading down the pike and they will be handled by our own resident Polk HQ nut Jon_S. Contact him directly with any questions or comments. - MarkCTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers?

I personally own a pair of OWM3's that are being applied as rear surround sound speakers in a 7.1 home theater. They compliment my other Polk speakers very well. (R300's, R150's, and CSR).
I found that they are were a bit larger than I first anticipated but nevertheless they are still discrete and can be mounted in many ways. I chose to mount them using the existing mounting holes found on the back of the speaker. They are above ear level but they are firing down sound at the listening area. Side Note: I was unable to use banana plugs on these speakers when using existing mount holes. The banana plugs would not allow the speaker to lay flush against the wall. I had to remove them and connect them using bare wire in order for the speaker to be properly mounted.
I have tested these speakers in low, medium, and high volume. They don't deliver much bass but the tweeter delivers very crisp sound. I wouldn't recommend these as your main front speakers in a surround sound system or in a stereo setup unless you also have a subwoofer. They really good surround sound speakers. They deliver the depth that was missing from my 5.1 system.Polk R300 x2
