How are these compared to the JBL SP6ii in-wall speakers? Thx for any advice! :)

Sorry, haven't heard the JBL's. I do really like the Yamaha's though and a great price too.

Klipsch has bigger speakers 12" and has deeper bass resonance when placed on hard floor. It has better bass tonals than JBL dancehall speakers. My neighbors complained to my landlord when I saw Jurassic Park when it was coupled with my Bose 901's. I literally saw the water disturbance on my cup of water.

I normally don't like pioneer and haven't used them for years, so I really can't answer your question. But I've been installing custom systems for over 25 years and these speakers sound great. For the price they can't be beat. I won't pay high dollar for 6.5 " or 5.25" speakers because they are gonna blow out in about a year regardless of what brand they are.

A2+ is a better setup, but it is a little bass light due to the small size.They sound good alone, but a sub really fills them out and makes them that much better.Personally, I would not like to run them without a sub; I run mine with a Polk PSW10.

They're honestly not "good" for any usage, but they'll be functional for both of those. Better choice would be the micca mb42x or pioneer Andrew Jones speakers. They're smaller, but are farrrr better designed and, surprisingly, even have better bass response.

I am currently using a pair of Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones Designed Bookshelf Loudspeakers. they sound very good. other ppl suggested using a pair of Sony SS-B1000 5-1/4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers would be a good idea too. I will try to post a video with my setup.

They can work as rear in wall surround speakers. In my opinion they are better as front surround. As long as they are in wall they are good. Make sure to insulate around them on the wall.

Sure, they'd be just fine as long as you weren't expecting a lot of bass at higher volume. So for inside a living room they'd rock. In a bar or bigger meeting room setting, they could be fine - but don't expect thumping bass.

Definitely, they're 90dB, which just puts them in the efficient category. I run them off of the Topping TP23 (which I also LOVE) and I'm at about 25% on the volume knob most of the time and 50% if I want it nice and loud and rarely ever past 50%. With the Topping, they're clean up to about 75%-80% on the volume knob, which will easily fill a few hundred square foot room. I use them with the Klipsch SW-350 for a wonderful 2.1 desktop setup that I use at least 30+ hours a week. I have a pair of Micca MB42X and a Dayton SUB-800 in another 2.1 setup and my Klipsch setup has a more forward sound which has a bit more presence, but still has great nuance when listening to musical scores, etc. Very happy with my purchase!

That's how I'm using them and I'm quite satisfied. I used an OSD Audio Kevlar Series Home Theater In-Wall Center Channel Speaker I got on Amazon for 100.00 and I'm very happy with it

These are in wall and not free standing speakers, unless you have wiring in wall already these won't work for you. I love mine! Since they are in wall, they work excellent for my application. They rock with good mid tones and base and for the price you can't beat them.

Can't really provide an opinion based on comparison. I have not had the opportunity to hear the Polk DB6501's. Have really liked the Alpine SPR60s though. When I did my research before purchasing the Alpines Polk's rated very high. Try to visit a local audio shop in your area that carries both brands and listen for your self. I can tell you that you can't go wrong with the Alpines they produce good quality sound.

AK, I don't quite get your question, but here is my take. I purchased these speakers about a year ago, and have no complains about its performance. To me they are very efficient for the use I give them. Whether its music or movies, they rock and they are not that small. They can be used as front or rear in a surround set up. When it comes to speakers, there is such a wide variety, that you really have to do your homework and based on all the info that you gather, then make a decision. I do not regret getting these. They add to my decor and they sound great. Good luck.

Get a yamaha or a denon. These are comparitvely priced and will not disappoint you. As far a speakers go with polk. Yes I know you friends are probably telling you bose - don't listen. Actually do listen, if the can hear side by side polk and bose played through a yamaha, denon or harmon karden you will wonder why boses were ever invented

yes they do, i love them, in fact i run them with a DC300 which will find any flaws in any speakers and they sound spectacular. they are all you need for a residence as they will certainly shake stuff off the wall and respond extremely low. for a PA system you will want some dedicated bass drivers etc. there isnt really anything out there that can touch them fir the price as a full range speaker

That is a hard question for me because when I got the speakers they handled the 2400 power but they sound bad.so put more power to them and blew them to bits. I ended up replacing them( with the same box of corse) with jbl sub woffers just wasn't what I was lookin for
