This speaker is AWESOME!!! I've used two sets of bookshelf speakers for surround; Monitor 30 and 40, and have even used the Monitor 70 in surround.
Nothing I've used compares to the F/XiA6. These speakers create a large sound field like on other.
You want to be enveloped in the action? Get these.
You have the option of mounting these on the wall, I have my right one wall mounted, my left one is on a stand. I actually prefer stands because I like space around the speakers.
If you're looking for a superb surround speaker, the F/XiA6 is it.

Ok, I finally have my system complete minus a Polk Audio Active Subwoofer. I just purchased the FXi A6 surround speakers in white and they really do make a significant different from regular Bookshelf speakers. Many people will not specifically upgrade to real surround speakers as they think just regular satellite or bookshelf speakers will do-for many this is fine, however if you want to experience the true sound fidelity sound that many current movie i.e. Blu-ray, then step up to these speakers. The movies subtle sounds come to life as they were meant to be heard when the audio producers laid down the tracks for specific sounds. The Polk Audio FXi A6 will take advantage of todays new sound technologies by enhancing each sound for example jet engine sounds, rain drops, the rustling sound of leaves being moved or stepped on. The Bipole and Dipole option is a great touch by Polk Audio. This physical knob allows you to tweak your sound output depending on your particular room side and configuration. By simply using the Bipole setting you can have 3D sound if speakers are behind you, typically ear level if standing up. Using the Dipole allow you the option to set them beside your listening zone diffusing the sound same height. Play with both options and hear what you prefer. I have 2 RTi 12 floorstanding monsters bi-amped for maximum bass output. I am using a different speaker for center front but with these FXi A6 surrounds the difference is clearly noticeable. Great speakers.

These speakers are wonderful. I installed them in place of built-in speakers that I felt were not performing well. I mounted them to the wall and was not excited about it as they are not hidden like the ones they are replacing. Okay, so how did they sound? Well, funny you should ask.... I was not 100% sold that this was the solution until I turned on my movie. OH MY GOD!!! I am so happy I could cry. Invisible to the ear not the eye. These things tossed sound around the room like champs. Rockets flew over my head moving my hair with the wind jets. The sound is detailed and clean. I might know where they are but I sure dont focus on them when the movie comes on. In fact I no longer see them. Funny how that is.

System: DVD-Player Yamaha S-657, receiver Yamaha V-757, Front PolkAudio RTi10, Center PolkAudio CSi A6, Surround PolkAudio FXi A6, subwoofer PolkAudio PSW 505, interconnect cable (front, center, surround)- selfmaked (twisted pair - every wire of pair{central wire OFC 1.5mm2, around central 5 silver thin wire; silver and OFC joins in place connectors in every side of cable} ), interconnect cable subwoofer - selfmaked(OFC 3mm2 central wire, around metal defence as ground wire), speaker cable surround and center Profigold Bass Flex 2,5mm2, front Esoteric Audio "Premier" 8mm2.
Ideal exclusive circle sound field, hear from any point of room high quality moving effects in space. I specially hear Jean Michel Jarre "Aero" DVD with 5.1 effects.Its best sound that I hear. Surround speakers disappear into sound, as though speakers not exist, exist only sound. Center and surround speakers I manually set to LARGE. In SMALL sound turned out badly.

THESE NEW POLK FXi A6 SURROUNDS, REPLACE MY OLDER LS/FX SURROUNDS.THEY WERE GREAT,HOWEVER THERE SMALLER DRIVERS COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH MY FRONT RTi's WITH 6.1 MUSIC.
THE NEW POLK FXi A6 LOOKS FANTASTIC,AND ONCE I MOUNTED THEM ON MY WALLS WITH TWEETERS AT STANDING EAR HEIGHT,I WAS GOOD TO GO! THE SUPPLIED MOUNTING TEMPLATE WORKED GREAT! IF USED AS DIPOLE'S THE CENTER LINE OF THE SPEAKER IS THE NULL ZONE,I FOUND THE SOUND WAS FULL,WARM & NATURAL. AFTER SOME BREAK IN,I USED SEVERAL DISC'S TO DEMO THERE CAPABILITY'S. THEN I DISCONNECTED MY POLK REAR CENTER,AND WAS VERY IMPRESSED IT WAS AS IF I DIDN'T EVEN NEED A REAR CENTER CHANNEL. OVER ALL THESE ARE KEEPERS,GREAT STYLE,SHAPE,SIMPLE INSTALLATION,AND THE MOST NATURAL SOUND FIELD I COULD ASK FOR. TRUST ME,YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING!AFTER ALL...THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED SURROUND SOUND...ISN'T IT?

I have the Polk RTi 10 Fronts and the CSi A6 center and the F/Xi A6 surrounds and I cant hardly find movies to keep up with these speakers. And music is amazing most of all people like when they see them and love them when we watch movies.great speakers.
