would you recommend installing 3 of these as L,C &amp; R speakers...or would you recommend this center w/ (2) M-8s as L&amp;R?

I have this as the center and the M8's as left and right and they sound awesome!

They are great but for center speakers you need plenty of highs and mids. The center speaker is the work horse of the system. I won't used it

I went with 8" for front right and two rears and the dual 5.25 for center. If I were to do it again I would have done two 8s for the center. The duals sound good but need a little more of the lower frequencies

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

Mr Clark I am not able to answer your question at this time. We are working on getting our new system set up and are making sure our speaker system will match up. I have found that contacting R/S Cust Service to be helpful with some of our concerns in setting up our system. If you don't get the answer to your question there, I have found that local audio shops can also be helpful. BC

I am not sure this system would work well for your purpose. The speakers do not mount to the center control unit. All three of them would have to be carried separately. It would be bulky and cumbersome to move from one place to another.

It's definitely not going to take the place of 2 12" speakers. I run 4 of these speakers only powered by my kenwood 4x50w head unit. I do have an 8" infinity sub in the trunk. And it's fantastic! When the sub is turned off it's a very noticeable drop in bass. They may be better powered by a dedicated amp, i would be interested to see how that works as i've been thinking of getting another amp.

Thanks, do you use 301's for all 4 surround speakers? Seems to me the back surround speakers do not need to be high quality.

Should work out fine. The speakers may not be "voiced" exactly the same however but I use Klipsch for my L&R and Center and even though they are perfectly "Matched" according to Klipsch, you can always tell a slight tonal difference between the L&R speakers and the RC-62. NO big deal! Go for it!

I also have a question about this, are there any speaker stands that hold 2 speakers per stand, side by side or something? I don't really have the space to set up 4 rear speakers on individual stands (plus it would look kind of stupid in my apartment).

Hi Tony, your analysis was very useful. I'm considering the 830's or 820's for my home theater setup. I'm currently using the floor-standing S-10 studio series without a subwoofer, but I now need to switch to wall-mounted front speakers due to the layout of my room.My questions are:1. If I use the 830's or the 820's as my front speakers, will I need a subwoofer?2. I already have a center speaker (non-JBL). Do I need to replace it?3. As an entirely different option, should I just replace my entire speaker set with one of the better JBL 5.1 packages? That way, I ensure compatibility. I'm thinking maybe the Cinema 500 system or the CS-6100BG package.Thanks in advance for your tips. Hi Tony, your analysis was very useful.

I bought two extra speakers on eBay. Someone bought a second set for two extra speakers and sold the center and two speakers separately

I currently am running two of the 6" horn speakers, but the person that recommended this set up to me is running 4 of the 6" horns. Hope this helps, great little PA.

I have a 24x16 room and I have 2-RC85I's, 2-RCI80's, a Pioneer Elite SIW571L 5 1/4" In-Wall CST LCR Speaker and a PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer and a pioneer amp and they sound really good. good luck with your system.

I'm only using them as left/right speakers. I guess it would depend if they're wall mounted or would you be using the stand. Mine are wall mounted and I wouldn't want the center speaker to stick out any further than the left/right speakers...or even the TV. I would check the depth of the Motion 6/8 to gauge how much deeper they are than the slms...you're gonna get great sound with either...now it's just a matter of appearance...hope this helps.

Hi Major Tom. I am probably the wrong guy to answer. I called Klipch directly as I wanted to match the tone, etc of my mains that I have had for close to 20 years. I was leaning toward the rc's as I thought them to be the better speaker. The direction from Klipsch was the C series. I have the C20 center and matched with surrounds. I am quite happy now the I have them dialed in. If it matters, I am using a Marantz 7008. Good luck, JG

I use the FH6-LCR center channel along with the FH-6T (or FT-6T as Amazon calls them), it's great. I went for the whole package, I bought the FH6 center channel and an F 12 subwoofer, it is great. Given my room size, everything really sounds good and I never have to crank it up to get a good sound stage.
