can they be used as L/R front speaker in 7.1 with TL2 being satellite?

I don't see why not. I use them as my rears in a 5.1 and plan to transition them to my side speakers once I install another pair of speaker for rears to complete a 7.1 system. They might not have as much power as you would want for front speakers but that all depends on room size and your taste.

I would not do that, these speakers are unable to deliver any form of dynamic sound.

Ideally all front speakers, Left, Center, Right should be the same for optimal performance. Using the OWM3 as left/right main would work, and probably sound OK. I disagree with a previous comment on deficient bass response, as the very low frequencies would be handled by the sub/LFE channel with a powered sub. I would select "small speakers" on your 7.1 reciever for the front speakers when setting up your system- this will send all lower frequencies(>120hz) to the sub channel.

No, these are designed to be mounted t your sides to provide an imursive surround stage. Using them as front speakers would provide a muddy, non directional, surround expreiace.

Try with Peerless, those have a strong built and are universal, you can hide the cables inside main leg. I have a pair for years now, and I have use them with several satellites speakers and have worked with all of them.

I am using fh6-lcr's as fronts and center for two years they are wonderful.Make sure your amp has enough to push them.Remember center channels make the best speakers.Also fyi you have to stand them up vertically for proper sound when using as surrounds,Google for technical reason.

Don't know of any reason why they would not work. You will still be a couple of speakers short if you a filling out the 7 maximum, plus the woofer. I satisfied with mine for a few months now.

I use them as part of a 7.1 system as rear surrounds. it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If these would be the only speakers then front of the room

yes of course, especially if your centre speaker does not match with the L&R; FRONT speakers. (ie. Using different brands or even just a different model of the same brand) The frequency(crossover) is the basis of how it would synchronise with the rest of your setup. TRY playing around with it.

Probably, they are very small, not sure about height, they ARE worth the effort, I have four of them on the dash of the Explorer. You need a receiver which will adjust the frequency bands, I always use Pioneer with USB capability. The sound is not tin-ny, brittle like Sonys, Polk is the best sounding tweeter, you will enjoy what they do, you want to hear more highs and they give them, really filling the music. You may also consider the low's with a small output unit behind the seat (or elsewhere) such as a low power Alpine. Just enough base fill. Check Google you may find the size of your current OEM speakers, Polk will give the size of theirs . Good Luck. I play everything from Hendrix to Folk, some Jazz and some female solo singers, I enjoy my drive.

Hello...these speakers require wires. I use them as surrounds in my 7.1 system. They are very good.

I don't see why not. They are great quality speakers. Still haven't had a chance to hook up my system but don't anticipate I will be disappointed.

Bear, These do not send sound straight at you so they normally would not be the best choice as your front speakers.Eric C

Yes. The RF 62s are best used for front, especially if you have smaller RB 51s. RB is bookshelf and RF is floor standing. RB can be used as front speaker but you always want the larger speakers in front. Also, RF can be used as rear speakers if you want but then you would want the same in front or larger like RF 82.

I use them for call of my 7.2 setup, they work great! I've had them for 6 months now and they're fantastic speakers for the price.

Yes, good question. I have a 7.1 sound system in place and don't want to loose the quality I have. I wouldn't mind losing all the speakers though. If it isn't true 7.1, they shouldn't call it that.

I've got it hooked up in a 7.1 configuration using existing rears as back surround. If you use the right terminals on the speaker, it will combine drivers for you to set it up the way you need to- using existing surrounds.

You can use just about any speaker as a rear surround, although you would not be using these speakers to their full potential. These speakers have a higher range than what is normally used in surround speakers (low to high), therefore, you end up with expensive surround speakers. Tower speakers are typically used as front speakers in a 2.1 or 3.1 setup. If you have the money to spend, I guess "why not?". But if you want bang for your buck, use these as front speakers and buy some nice rear surround speakers and save some space.

You can easily hook these up to a Logitech 2.1 computer speaker setup and replace the mains. But you do need to make sure that they arent the hardwired type and can accommodate a speaker wire input. Also that the power output of the system is at least as high as the nominal power required by the Polks. I'm doing just this very thing, replacing the two main front speakers with the Polks on a Logitech z5500 system. Already replaced the rears with little Bose cubes.
