Which BIC Center channel speaker would work best with two of these?

I would think the BIC America DV-62CLRS 6-Inch 2-Way Center Channel Speaker.The LV is a horn tweeter and would give a brighter sound than the fronts.

Because this center has a horn driver it has a higher sensitivity than speakers with dome tweeters. I would recommend the Bic 350 Watt 6.5IN 2 Way Bookshelf as they have the same horn configuration. This center is spectacular though.

I have not heard those BIC's, but I have some of their bookshelf versions. I suspect they will compare well against the Klipsch. I do have a pair of these and am pleased with them.

I am using one for my center channel in a 7.1 setup Works great for this and provides nice chrisp sound quality. I am very happy with this product.

You need a multi channel 5/1 or higher receiver which would have a connection on the back for a center channel speaker. A stereo 2 channel receiver would not have that connection.

I use mine as a center channel speaker with mixed bag surround system. It would be best to use some type of amp.

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'.

Go with a JBL 10- good deep base, because these speakers have really good highs and ok mids will make up a lot of the base

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.

I actually sent back the 8040 and got the 8060 because I wanted better bass response. I have the 8040 towers for my left and right channels and love them, but I feel the center needed more umph. Definitive rcommends either the 8040 or the 8060 to pair up with the 8040 towers so I just decided my center was worth the extra monies and I was RIGHT! If you don't have the money for the 8040 center then I personally would save up till you do. To answer your question though, the 8040 center sounds good but isn't as dynamic as I thought it would be.

You have 5 separate channels on the back of the speaker. You could only connect the center channel but it would be a waste of the other speakers enclosed. There are much better choices if you are only looking for a center channel speaker.

I would use them for the front and the back and get a dedicated center channel

Not sure if a center speaker will work for that my assumption is a center speaker is just for center

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!!

You can go for the Polk Audio TRiA Series because you could take advantage of its Bi-Amp feature. I personally use a pair of Floorstanding speakers, but the RTiAs are rock-solid!!

Sorry. I did not answer about the center channel. I am using these speakers as surround, left and right speakers. But for my center I am not utilizing the outlet. The center channel is mainly used for dialog which I have do not have to. Two front left and right with surround left and right which will give you very good sound clarity, definition, no distortion and the whole spectrum. This all depends on your sound system and the front speakers you are using.

I have 62's as my surrounds, so I cannot say for certain. That said, the center channel is an excellent speaker, comparing favorably to my much more expensive polk CS 350. I suspect they have the same tweeter, which is the most important factor in speaker matching. They are close enough where you could probably only detect the difference with an analyzer.
