how do the 5000's handle the lower frequencies as stand alone speaker?

Any answer is really subjective. I found them to be OK. But, I still added a subwoofer and that combination seems to work fine. They are in a fairly large room and at opposite ends of the couch in that room. The sound you get is quite nice and really fills the place up. The room is also carpeted. I listen to a lot of systems, play music and listen to studio monitors. These are fine for a home system without spending a fortune.

they are good, but i don't listen to bass heavy music. and i also use a subwoofer to handle all low end for my personal setup. amazing speakers for the price point.

To my ears, very good clarity across the entire frequency range. Bass is surprisingly strong.

Terrible you'll have to pair it with a nice sub. Mids and Highs are crisp and quite nice for the price.

The lower frequencies are pretty good. Just don't expect to pump extremely low bass frequencies at high volumes. It can handle funk, rap, pop, ect. Just not stuff like extremely low frequency with high volume/spl music, like say dub step. Also don't think you will win some kind of loudest/most bass competition. But if you listen to music with a normal bass response, or even a little bass heavy these will do more than fine.

Sure. If you don't connect any Surround Back speakers, you've only got 5.1 channels.

I put these in old Community Floor Monitors and they played well with the original horn. Not a lot of bass but that may be from the design of the cab. For stage monitors I don't want a lot of bass anyway. Let the subs do the bass for the venue. I Prefer EV or JBL to Cerwin Vega for mains. I'd recommend the higher end EVs if you can afford them. JBL are easily overdriven and damaged if you are not careful in your setup and mixing.

Nope, sorry! You get adequate sound reproduction without much power behind it. I would suggest that because the speakers are of, ah, "minimal quality" the base probably isn't too deep. For what it's worth, I haven't been bothered by the base on any of my mp3 songs. Hope that helps!

I have no high pitch sound but do encounter a shorter range. I unplug router and power reset its inconvenient the router is junk

The 775 has pre outs. If you have high wattage speakers then you can use an external amp to power them since most receivers these days don't supply enough power for anything other than entry level speakers.

No matter size of other speakers set them to small so all low frequencies will be sent to subwooferonly set them to large if you don't have a subwoofer hooked up.

I'm not sure if it would take the low frequencies, I think the best bet would be is to ask/email Vox themselves.

yea thats the 5.0 and that is the same as i do have it.remember you must have a subwoofer to get the top quality sound expected.at least klipsh number 10, 350w or 450w.

The built in input is the only input. The 3.5 is an output so that you can hook up multiple speakers of this type.

Have their own speakers. I returned them because they worked only a very short distance.

What's the frequency response of the mains? You will likely see the need to adjust the sub's high end slightly above the low end of the mains, using a cable into the l/r input jacks. Or you could use the crossovers in the receiver, set the speakers to small, crossover wherever you think the low end drops off on the mains... usually 10 hz above the listed specs. Then connect the sub the the lfe input, that bypasses the crossover in the sub.

I bought the ssf-5000s and put them in my man cave and afer hearing them bought another pair for the house but not sure if they will overwhelm my other polk bookshelf speakers hooked to the surround system

I bought 4 of these for my HK520 and love them. They are great for music and movies but if you like it loud, they will need some help from a subwoofer. If you run them by themselves, make sure you switch the receiver's speaker setting to small speakers. If not, you will damage them because they can't handle low frequencies. I set my crossover at 100hz and they sound pretty good. Hope that helps.

I didn't find any part of spectrum emphasized. I have Monitor Audio BX6 floor standing loudspeakers. What's your source? Speakers?

These speakers are designed to replace a 3 1/2" in a car system. They probably will not have as much bass as a small portable system that is designed to deliver full range. I have them in my 2001 Corvette that has a bass speaker just below them in the door and this combination sounds great! As a stand alone you will only get mid range and highs.

Yes. The only time volume is a problem is outdoors... but thats an issue with any single source speakers.
