How are these speakers just for audio not home theater?

They sound great for both but definitely get a sub too (I use an SVS SB 2000) . I have a Denon 2100w receiver powering mine and I also use one as a center channel. Oh and its in a 19 X 17 living room with 20 ft ceilings.

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 am not sure I understand your question, Michael. But, I use them in my home theater. Hope that helps.

These are not intended for home use or with a stereo receiver as they are a PA system speaker and require a pro audio power amp and a mixer to function properly. So something like a 2000 watt amp that runs around 500 watts a side at 8 ohm would be a good match for these.

They are louder than you standard PC speakers and they are very rich sounding for such small speakers, but they are not a substitute for your home stereo system. I have bought 2 sets of these and am very pleased with them. BTW, you don't need an AC outlet for these!

They are a passive speaker, not powered, They need a receiver or an amplifier to out put sound.. hope that helps.

I am using these as side speakers in my living room and not as television speakers. I can tell you they sound great.

I agree with Ron they are meant for a studio setting which means the sounds are deep and rich but don't carry very far. I would suggest looking for speakers that don't have "monitor" in the name.

These are passive speakers. They do not have a built in amplifier. You will need a outside amplifier. I am using an older pioneer stereo amplifier to power the speakers.

What exactly is your question? I have a pair of these as rear surround mounted on the ceiling behind a couple of theater seats...they sound awesome..but i have a sub hooked up...ok from previous answers i gather you want to use them as rear speakers..not good idea..they are mainly surround speakers, so not very good bass response.

As others have answered, these are just passive bookshelf speakers. If you're interested in powered speakers, a more worthwhile category for you to browse would be active monitors. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=active%20monitors

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

These are passive speakers that require some sort of direct connection. They are not Bluetooth or Sonos type speakers. That said, I LOVE them.

I don't think so. They aren't meant to be computer speakers, but hooked into an audio receiver in an entertainment system. For what it is worth, the sound great!

No, these speakers are designed to hook up to a home theater reciever, not a computer.

No they're passive speakers. You will need 'powered' mixer that also acts as amplifier.

Ralph, These speakers are for a home theater system only. I am using my speakers' with a Yamaha receiver and my Sony 46" flat screen to replace the weak speakers' that comes with most flat screens tvs'. What a difference it makes when we are watching a movie or just watching tv. Great sounding speakers for the money! Hope this helps! Abby

I had an electrician do the installation. The speakers are hooked up to a home audio system. They sound great, by the way! No distortion at all and can hear them clearly without being turned up too loud.

No they are not. ..I have marine speakers and these are not at all close. I would not use them in a marine environment or an open Jeep type vehicle
