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

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

I used two M-8's as the L&R; and the M-CS as the center. The M-8's give the front end a punchier bass. However for the money you can't go wrong with these speakers. I use a Yamaha RX-V577 receiver with the Micca 8" round speakers as my surrounds don't remember the model #. Great set-up and sound.Hope this helps, good luck!

I installed two M-8's with a Micca M-CS Dual 5.25-Inch as a center speaker... so impressed I bought a second set and turned the kids play-room into a 7.2 system

You could, and I think it would look kinda cool, but the 8s have a lot of bass, that you would be losing by using these as a L & R

I would recommend the Center and 2 m-8s as L&R...because; the center is normally used for voice

Yes you could but you might be better off just using the 62CLRS as your left, center, and right speakers. They can handle it. Just stand the speaker up on its end if you want it to have a bigger look for the left and right speakers.

There's no down side to all 3 being the dual speaker size, your mostly limited to how much room you have in your wall for mounting them. As far as all 5 being the same the rears are mostly environmental noise such as car's passing, some dialogue, and other background noise. So it's up to you, they're such a good price it won't hurt if they're all the same. It'll make listening to music awesome. Hope this helps.

One speaker is enough..these are awesome speakers..two is amazing but one is sufficiant for smaller intmate settings hope this helped out..good luck!

I would not recommend buying 4 of these if you are trying to create a surround sound system. This is a great center speaker but a bit much for the satellite speakers. In wall monitor or satellite speakers would be a better choice and value.

Hey everyone,I just purchased this system and wanted to jump in. I'm using the Sony STR-DG820 as my receiver and have SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers as my fronts. I bought this system to use as the remainder of a 7.1 channel setup. Polk seemed to recommend the setup that Schor talked about when using their satellites in the package as front speakers. Would anyone recommend this setup with the larger bookshelf speakers or would using the sub-out on the receiver be better? Any thoughts? Thanks

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.

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.

Hey Slater, I pretty much have the same setup you just described, got the Son STRDG 720 last week and just purchased these speakers today. Which speakers do you think would be a good purchase to convert this system into 7.1? I have two large polk bookshelves at home although they are a bit old, what do you think?

With these speaker systems you should not run any sub out rcas to them, your best bet is to just run the standard speaker wire and set the receiver to large size and that will send the lfe/.1 channel to the front speakers and make.sure you turn off the sub option in the menu of the receiver. As far as which center to get , I would definitely recommend going with the 8060 because it will play louder and cleaner because the built in amp takes care of the bass and use a 40 hertz crossover or higher on all the speakers.

yes i do that all the time i use 3 in the front for the front stage Left Right and Center then ceiling speakers for surround. I'm a professional installer.

Rest assured there is no problem with the installation or the speakers. What you need is called a subwoofer.

Ran two 50'apart, rocked the campground with them. Only problem I see is your going to have a larger output on 1 side. Left or right will have 2 speakers. Keep in mind these are"fill" speakers. They"fill"an area with sound. My suggestion. Run the two then after if you need more I'd run two more on an A/B switch.

My 2c here. I wouldn't run 2 sets of speakers off this amp. Even though it is rated at 8/4 ohms, I would just get a speaker selector. This is essentially a $150 amp. I wouldn't mess with it being that it is expensive. And overpriced imo.

You would be surprised but these can fill a large room. My advice to you would be to wait to hear them before you feel the need to add anything to them. if you truly want 7.1 sound i would suggest adding two floorstanding speakers to the front and using the 800 for your center and surround. But I believe these speakers will fill your room. Feel free to let me know how everything works out and what you decide to do.

Agree with previous response. Unless your existing wiring is shot, just stick with it. Worst case you need to cut off the connectors and crimp/solder/splice in some new ends to fit the speakers.

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.
