I have been looking at purchasing two new polk owm 5 speakers to replace the front left and right speakers in my surround set up for our smaller TV room. I am currently running a rm8 5.1 set up. Has anyone noticed a significant difference in the two? I think the rm8's are great, but would like a little more noise out of the front speakers. I have to keep these speakers small and wall mountable, due to my wife not wanting big bookshelf or floor standing speakers in our family room. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    I will keep that as an option, however I have the holes prewired in the room, so I would like to use small speakers for the left and right. Anyone used the OWM 5 as a front speaker for there surround sound system? I might just have to invest in a really nice set of wall mountable book shelf speakers, but I really want to keep the wife happy. A happy wife is a happy life. haha.
