Rockville 2 RockSlim Black Home Theater 5.25″

Good speaker for the price!
They are a decent sounding speakers and I like how slim they are.

Good for rear sound
Excellent solution for rear speakers. Pleasant sound. Easy to install yourself, everything you need is included.

Great sound for price.
Good quality speakers for my purposes. Love that you can hang them without any mounts.

A little disappointed
Let me start out by saying that these speakers actually work ok with my particular configuration because I am using them as “Front Height Left/Right” so they’re basically a supplement to my main Front left/right.They’re not super expensive, and I wouldn’t call them trash, but I would say I find them a bit disappointing.What I like:1) They look great. They sit off the wall only about 1.5 inches. If you don’t have the option of recessing speakers by cutting into the wall, this type of speaker is your best option if you want a low-profile look.2) They’re very easy to work with. They’re pretty light and easy to install on a single nail/screw if you want them mounted vertically. Mounting them horizontally requires a bit of creativity. Not a big deal for my application.3) High frequency sounds are pretty decent.What I don’t like:1) Very weak bass. I’m not expecting booming sound from speakers of this size, but the specs say they handle low end frequency down to 100 hz. When I ran a setup on my receiver using the supplied mic, it set the crossover frequency to 180 hz. I ran it 3 times, every single time it landed on 180. To put this in perspective, my particular receiver mic usually lands within 20 hz of what a speaker is properly rated at. I’ve configured a lot of different setups at various speakers distances and I’m confident in saying that the speakers I received cannot accommodate the low end that their specs claim. Because I was curious, I even tried running them as my main front left/right with the configuration mic sitting 6 feet away. The crossover frequency was still determined to be 180 hz.I get better bass out of similar sized speakers, some of them at a lower price point. Granted, none of those speakers are a low profile. It’s just that when I play a song with a strong bass line such as “another one bites the dust” I don’t feel even a slight bump out of these speakers. Not all woofers are created equal, obviously, but I’ve heard 3 inch woofers that provide a fuller bass response than these do. Again, the slim profile is probably a limiting factor in this category.My advice would be to use these as secondary speakers. If you intend to use these as anything other than surround or height speakers my fear is that you will get very poor performance out of them.

I’d been searching high and low for speakers that would ease up the space on my cramped workstation. Particularly something that could be hung on the wall and preferably be as flat as possible. And I couldn’t be happier that I finally found what I needed exactly for my Macbook sound system which I use via Bluetooth.These speakers are quite a breeze to install. All you need some wall fixtures like screws or hook and you’re good to go.Another thing is that, it should be understood that they’re passive speakers without any in-built subwoofer so you can’t expect to have any bass reproduction on the speakers.For bass, I’m using a Bluetooth amplifier that also has an additional connection for a third-party passive subwoofer. Thus, the only power that the whole sound system requires is just a power adapter for the amplifier.Hence, the resulting sound is so satisfactory that I’m really pleased with them.Aesthetic-wise, they’re simply elegant and stylish; which adds to my requirements for the perfect sound system, at least for me.
