Anyone using this in a medium to large theater room? Are they powerful enough for a larger theater room?

I wouldn't use them in a large theater room. I think they work great in a room 20'x15'.

A small to medium room will do well with this product--my living area is around 18x14, and the subwoofer, when cranked all the way up FILLS the living area with rich bass and smooth highs (Pacific Rim was rattling everything). For the money this is a steal that's hard to beat. Also keep in mind to break the subwoofer in gradually (2-4 weeks) of light to medium operation--afterwards you can turn the gains up and experience awesome satellite music and movies:~)

Using these currently in a medium sized conference room, about 16x12. Even without the sub they do fairly well (I've watched a movie or two on them). With the sub I think they would do nicely if you want a small speaker solution. However, if I really wanted the movie theater feel and I had room I'd maybe go with bigger speakers (especially if the room was any bigger).

They are loud enough to fill my 500 square ft. living room providing music to the adjoining kitchen without drowning normal conversation. They are not loud like a boombox. It does not sound tinny. It feels to me like listening to background intermission music at the theater. And I haven't even tried putting the volume up high.

These are specifically made for high end home theatre in the compact category and I am very happy with them. I have three mounted on the wall with my tv as a pair of fronts and centre channel. But you will also need a sub (Dynamo 700) and a different pair of rears (motion2s). Once set up and broken in, it sounds amazing!!!

I believe they are 125 watts. My receiver is 15 yrs. Old and supplies 100 watts per channel and it sounds bad ass!! As long as theyre not over powered so theres no risk of blowing them is what I would go by.. I also have the cv center channel and it makes a big difference when watching movies. Not so much for music(center channel speaker that is)

Mine work well when I am in the room next to the music source, but they tend to cut out when I am 2-3 rooms away. I think that performance will vary according to local conditions such as the nature of the walls.

They fill the room equally, I am very contented with the purchase. Sound much better with much pricier Bose or other systems. I have paired them with an Onkyo receiver and bi-amped them. I dont know your application but I dont think you have to be right in front of the speakers to experience great sounds quality.

I use them as my rear speakers and have a good pre-amp and 460 watt amp feeding them. They will rumble really well and makes it very movie theatre like experience. My front speakers are much more refined and clearer on speech. You will need separate amps because the EQ is configured between the pre and amp.

If you're asking if these subs will fill a room with sound then the answer is yes!! they will work best in a small to medium size room..Not sure of "continuos power. look up "specs". You won't need to turn the volume up on these past halfway!!

I'm powering these using a Emotiva amp. which puts out 125 watts per channel at 8 ohms, 200 watts at 4 ohms. It is certainly powerful enough for me in my large room. You don't state what your Onkyo output is but I suspect anything over 50 watts per channel will work well unless you want to fill up a warehouse. The Martin Logan owners manual recommends between 20-300 watts.

Depends how loud the classroom is I guess. I think they would suffice, but I only have them in a 15x15' room so they are plenty for this room. I'm sure your classroom is bigger than that. For the price, I am happy with them. That being said, they are very inexpensive. Amazon is pretty good with returns though aren't they? Might be worth a try. Hope that wishy-washy answer helped :) -Signed, Switzerland

Don't put too much into the power rating. If the listening room is moderatly sized, and you are a serius listener, I don't tink you will be disappointed. Mine is driving my Amphion argon 2 speakers (85db/w) perfectly fine.

It is large unless you have a large theater room I would not recommend... You can see the dimensions in the description

These speakers have a great frequency range. They should do ok. To get strong midrange, you really need multiple small woofers(like these) I would suggest using this pair in conjunction with your current pair to get a stronger midrange frequency boost. Especially with a "very strong sub". Or purchasing towers with multiple small drivers. Just a suggestion. On a side note, speaker position in relation to seating position is very important, more so for 2 channel listening. Room acoustics are also a huge factor. Perhaps repositioning your speakers would help with this issue? Food for thought.... Happy listening ☺ These speakers have a great frequency range. They should do ok.

If you have a very large home theater then I would say great. This sub is a monster, I had a 4th of July party which turned into a block party and It never was turned up to full volume. I normally use it in my family room for Karaoke night but I have to turned the bass all the way down or it would be too much. I hope this gives you a general idea.

These are big heavy 8ohm speakers suited to provide large sound to auditoriums or other big rooms .. Or in a large workshop etc.. I use them as the back spkr's in a 5way stereo system in a huge room.. where they provide voice enhancement-- since they are very bright in the voice range. & the best part-- the are affordable for those on a budget. I hope this helps.. For those on a budget these are the real ticket.. Just dont expect miracles for such a low priced unit and you will be happy.. fg

See cnet's review: http://www.cnet.com/products/monoprice-10565/ I have them in a 13'x15' room and have zero complaints. I can not imagine that they would have trouble in a larger room.

800 is fine....add a second subwoofer if you have the room in your theatre.....
