Polk Audio VM10

The Polk Audio VM10 are high performance satellite loudspeakers from Polk Audio's VM series of individually sold speakers.  The speakers feature two 3" mid-woofers with dynamic balance mineral-filled polypropylene drivers and butyl rubber surrounds along with a single 1" aluminum dome tweeter for accurate and detailed performance through a wide frequency range and power handling of up to 150 watts.  They are designed with a high-grade extruded aluminum enclosure and narrow baffle design geometry to produce a broad dispersion sound field and have a satin gloss hand-polished finish.  The speakers come with an easy to install wall mount bracket to add flexibility in positioning and have a 5 year warranty.  The VM10s can be matched with Polk Audio's other VM series speakers and DSW series subwoofers to create a customized speaker setup.
