Which is the better BIC center channel for a 16'x12' room, the DV-62CLRS or FH6-LCR? Planning on pairing with 4x Bic Msrpro6 in ceiling speakers.

Well the answer to that question is fairly subjective. My personal opinion would be to go with the DV-62 since it more closely compares to the type of in ceiling speakers you will be using. The FH6 center speaker is a great speaker but it's a horn horn style tweeter similar to Klipsch speakers which tend to be a bit more open with the highs and voices. I don't think you would get a good timber matching between the front stage. Just my opinion, but if you want to use a horn loaded style center then you should use a horn loaded style left and right speaker as well.

I cant say i never listened to the FH6-LCR. My DV-62clrs sound great though.

The BIC is 100 w and the Polk is 50 w,both are well reviewed so i would guess for a small room the Polk should be sufficient.I use my BIC in a large room and it is borderline enough. I run it 6-7 in a room15'x25'.

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.

It would be fine to use a center speaker but I would rather recommend this speaker as it is designed to be a center...Polk Audio 255C-RT In-wall / In-ceiling center channel speaker

Hi Paul, I will tell you that I spoke with a crutchfield guy for recommendations prior to my Denon purchase. I have allways been partial to Polk Audio speakers. Since this is a entry level Av receiver, I went with the Polk Audio TSx 330T Tower Speaker , also the CSi4 Center speaker. The center speaker is very important as the dialogue in movies generally come from the center speaker. I'm very happy with them. You can get them direct from Polk Audio for about $210 with free shipping.

Should work out fine. The speakers may not be "voiced" exactly the same however but I use Klipsch for my L&R; and Center and even though they are perfectly "Matched" according to Klipsch, you can always tell a slight tonal difference between the L&R; speakers and the RC-62. NO big deal! Go for it!

Yes I have the fh-6t's with fh6-lcr's but I also have the fh-65b rears along with the f12 sub so I might not be the best to awnser but as a whole systems sounds very clear after adjusting. The center with the fronts sounds pretty smooth and clear at least for movies but for music it might sound a little bright with out a sub because the horns are loud and bright, but all in all I think they are a perfect match.

If you want sound quality get the spr60c 'cause they divide de frecuencies, if you want loudness get the spr-60 'cause they are coaxial speakers, i run them on a clarion marine amp and they are pretty loud

I own 3 pair of the MC60 they sound great! I assume, since they have similar specs, this would be a better sonic match than say adding another brand in ceiling. Is this for center channel? If so definitely fine choice as it's typically voice so no other speaker to compare it to in the system.

I personally have the FT-6T fronts with a F12 sub, FH65bs for rears, matched with the FH6-LCR center. In my opinion I haven't heard the DV-64s but it all depends on the system you are using when I used a nice onkyo stereo movies sounded good but music was way to bright almost a tunnel sound then I switched it up to a sunfire processer and carver amp and I was amazed with the difference, now my speakers sound perfect for music and movies, a quality sound you can be proud of. But like I said it depends on your other components, every review I have read people have said they had to tweak with the settings for both sets of speakers. But if you have good components you shouldn't have to. I personally have the FT-6T fronts with a F12 sub, FH65bs for rears, matched with the FH6-LCR center.

Hello Maren and thank you for your inquiry.You can mount a Definitive Technology Di6.5 LCR horizontally for use as center channel if you'd like. If it is below the TV, install so that the tweeter is on top.If the speaker is installed above the TV, install so that the tweeter is on the bottom.We're here to help, so please let us know if you have any additional questions!Thanks again,Scott G and the rest of the ListenUp.com sales team

Yes. The RF 62s are best used for front, especially if you have smaller RB 51s. RB is bookshelf and RF is floor standing. RB can be used as front speaker but you always want the larger speakers in front. Also, RF can be used as rear speakers if you want but then you would want the same in front or larger like RF 82.

Lancejulian, I just purchaded receiver TX-NR636 and a set of Polk Audio speakers. As I have not instaled them yet I canot tell you about my experience. But I based my decision on friends and internet opinion and I am expecting good result. Here you have my speakers: central - CS10 / front (2x) TSi100 / rear (4x) T15. I will not install atmos speakears because I have a small room. In future I will have more space and will install them. I hope this can help in your decision.

David - if your main usage is TV or movies the center speaker is the most important, since it carries the main vocals. The size of your L and R mains won't really matter since they are mostly peripheral sound. Hope you have a sub-woofer, that will help with the overall surround system. I have greatly enjoyed the difference this BIC center has made. Enjoy!!

I own polk monitors 30 slightly smaller 5 1/2 woofer but 1 "tweeter, from either bookshelf bass will be lacking, these two are close but the primus 163 imo is better very nice sound it is a large bookshelf, solid, heavy nice grill. I really like the primus 163, the primus are a great speaker for the price I have compared far and wide you can't beat the quality for the cost. set up is 2 363, p351 and 2 163 and a f 12 sub power is emotiva fusion 8100 and xpa 3
