How would this pair with Polk Monitor 40s(or 60s) as front and 4 OWM5s as surround? Would it be too small? I've already got a Polk psw505 subwoofer.

I love my center channel Polk. It is extremely clear especially for voice/dialog which is why I purchased it. No complaints here.

I gotta say as a center channel- it is a great sounding speaker. However, not sure I'd use them as mains. Maybe if you use them as front surrounds? I guess it depends on your setup.

Quick question... I already have a very nice Klipsch powered subwoofer. I should receive my RM6750 set today. Should I use the new subwoofer as Polk recommends, connecting it to the front channels, and then the front speakers to the Sub, and then connect my other subwoofer to the subwoofer port?If I do this, when I setup my surroundsound in my Sony receiver, should I set the front speakers to large isntead of small, even though they are small? I'm thinking small would strip the lower end frequencies out of the signal, but since I am connecting the subwoofer to the front channels in the receiver, I want to send the full signal, right?

I got mine for a center channel with the 5650 as left and right and a sub. Sounds great. I almost would even have bought this one for my left and right. Very clear and crisp but definitely pair with an additional sub.

I would recommend a sub and surround speakers. I use a sub and it sounds great. I also got the matching center channel which is awesome too.

I think most of the polk products work well together. I would suggest reading some audio forums, they would much more experience than me. Good Luck!

I have a Polk audio sub, and I barely have the sub volume on. With an unused pair of Bose surround sound speakers, I use this for my computer sound system and it is almost better than my Kenwood receiver with Bose speaker system.

Well, it's not meant to handle the low frequency sounds on it's own, which is why it's only 5 channels. I have mine set up with a BIC 12 inch sub and it rocks the house. By itself though, it still sounds great, hitting a nice range of high and low frequencies. I imagine it would make a great sound bar on it's own, but know that it is just about perfect when coupled with a subwoofer.

I have a powered sub also and am using the LFE.btw...I did some experimenting with the Speaker Settings because i actually have small bookshelf speakers for my surround setup (Energy CB-10 frt and Polk r30 back). So I set the Speakers to Small for the front and back and the Sub defaulted to 'Normal' (I think that's what it said) and it sounds much better now. Hope this helps.

I wish that I could help you out. I'm using the speaker's from the home theater system that I already had hooked up. There are 100watt wall and ceiling shelve size speaker's. I do believe that the speaker's you do use, will have to be speaker's for surround,(FL&gt;Center&gt;FR&gt;RL&gt;RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL&gt;SR). If you use just any kind of speaker's, like for stereo. Then you wont get the separation, any true affect of surround sound. I wish that I could help you out more, and hope that this will help you some what. Nick

You will definitely get the quality sound you are looking for. I paired it with 2 kicker 10" competition subs and don't have any complaints. I would say go for it. You're welcome!

I looked up the tuner and i can say it would be perfect match my friend, because the tuner is the right amount of watts 80 watts just get a 12 inch woofer at least ok because the speakers do sound good but really would sound better with a bigger sub, please you have to make sure you separate the sound good, i sold them ASAP because my tuner was at 120 watts per channel way too many, they feel cheap but much better them a lot of speaker i have owned, if you want a very good sounding speaker take your time and by piece by piece polk you can buy on ebay but go with polk.com and down on the right click on polk ebay and get the refurbished- they are good as new trust me i have the TSI300 & Monitor 50s like new you cant tell- so take your time man trust me with the Onkyo will sound so good it would blow you away, if you have any other Q.A please email me bro?

Dear Bill, Thanks so much for the advice. I set the speaker for speaker pattern 3/2.1 which I assume means three in the front, two in the back and subwoofer.. and produces 5.1 sound. Anyhow, sounds good to me and the RCA cable works fine. Had the Protector message come up and shut down the tuner a few times... I eventually figured out the the dangling speakers wires going from my A and C speakers that I had disconnected from subwoofer were causing the problem... Disconnected them from the speakers also and normalcy returned.. Again Thanks.....John

Don't understand foss's comment re: junk. What's not to like about deep rich bass and a great midrange. Might like a little more high end. My system replaced my Onkyo 5 speaker surround system and sounds nearly as good but I can relocate the polk where I want.

I have no problem running large front speakers along with a sub.... with the rear surround speakers at the same time.Phil

I have a 15 x 20 foot room w/ a Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Monitor Series Powered Subwoofer. Bass sounds great.

I had a similar question. I even emailed Polk to ask them and never heard back. You will need an amplifier because the subwoofer is passive. It has its own crossover built in, but the receiver should only be sending high sounds to your other speakers and low sounds to your sub. I just attached both positive wires from the sub to the single positive wire coming from the amp (and the same for the negative wires). It seems to work great and I have had it in for at least a year.
