$699
Product Description:
Experience room-filling, detailed audio with Polk’s Vanishing Series 80 F/X-LS In-Ceiling Surround Speakers that hide away in your ceiling and yet produces extraordinary sound quality for your movies, music, and TV shows. Each speaker is equipped with an 8″ Dynamic Balance Driver, and dual 0.75″ Ring Radiator Tweeter that delivers smooth, detailed highs and accurate lows for an unparalleled musical experience. Featuring dual-ported bandpass enclosure, the loudspeakers offer deep, impactful bass and minimize resonances for crystal clear audio output. The 80F/X-LS is equipped with the Vanishing Wall Distance Toggle switch that helps to tune out the boominess, without sacrificing the deep bass response of the speaker. Pair them with the Vanishing LS Series center channel and in-wall speakers, or Polk’s traditional floor-standing and bookshelf stereo speakers, to build a complete 5.1 or 7.1 channel home theater setup. The rotating cam stabilization system allows for quick and easy installation, while the paintable wafer-thin Sheer-Grille makes the loudspeaker virtually indistinguishable from its surrounding. All LS speakers can be installed in new or existing constructions using optional mounting brackets.
NEAR-INVISIBLE IN-CEILING SURROUND SPEAKER SET – Equipped with (2) 0.75″ Ring-Radiator Tweeter for detailed highs, and (1) 8″ Dynamic Balance Woofer for clean, accurate mids, the 80 F/X-LS speakers are designed to produce an enveloping rear soundstage
BIG SOUND, NO FOOTPRINT – With a precision-engineered minimally flanged design and Polk’s exclusive Sheer-Grille, which protrudes only 7mm from the ceiling, the speaker virtually disappears in the wall, but the room-filling audio can be heard loud & clear
FEEL THE HEART-THUMPING BASS – Highly efficient in small enclosures, the dual bandpass bass ports deliver deep, rumbling bass and minimize chuffing, so that you hear crystal-clear dialogues and pristine sound quality for your movies, music, and TV shows
EASY TO MOUNT AND INSTALL – Each 80F/X-LS has 4 rotating cams that hold the speaker in place for a simple one-cut, drop-in installation. Comes with paintable magnetically-secured metal grille – leave it as is or spray paint to match your interiors
BUILD A COMPLETE HOME THEATER SYSTEM – Pair with the Vanishing LS Series center-channel and in-wall speakers or use them as surround speakers in a 5.1 or 7.1 channel home theater configuration along with Polk’s floorstanding and bookshelf speakers

Title: POLK IN UP THERE
Review: The Polk ceiling speakers made my Atmos experience come to life. I had a 7.1 system before so I didn’t know what I was missing. The height channels added another dimension and now I’m truly surrounded in sound. I have a few other 7.1 surround speakers at my home in different areas so I know that Polk does have a unique sound. The ring radiator in Polk speakers give it a reserved sound so it is not as airy as traditional speakers so if you have a really lively room that is not acoustically treated Polk may be right for you. I am very satisfied with the sound of the Polk speakers in my 7.1.6 setup.

Title: Great speakers
Review: We have a 5.1 audio system for the living room. I purchased the Polk Audio 80F/X-LS for the front 3 speakers (right, center, and left) and purchased the Polk Audio 80F/X-RT for the 2 back speakers (right and left). The house is a new build – we ran the audio cable and used the 9-3/8″ diameter Polk pre-construction brackets before the drywall went up – so installation was a breeze. I rotated the speakers towards the listening area and added the Polk DSW PRO 440 subwoofer. I was concerned about poor sound from the front speakers being in-ceiling rather than in-wall, but they sound great! We have been listening to them from about a year and are very happy with the purchase.

Title: Buy Focal 100 instead
Review: These speakers sound mediocre and leave a lot to be desired. Buy Focal 100 series instead and it will blow the Polk away for same amount of money. It’s not even close. I wanted to love the Polk because I already had the Polk Legend Tower speakers but the Polk in ceiling and in wall speakers are not very good. It was disappointing.
