Does anybody out there use the BIC FT-6T towers R & L front with the BIC FH6-LCR in the center? How does this sound for a center Stage?

I think they sound amazing. I also use a separate subwoofer to add that low end bass.

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.

It is funny you ask, as I have that exact setup. I also have FH-65b as the rears. I also use two F-12s making it a 5.2 setup powered by a Pioneer VSX-1020k, on tile floor in living room. I am not an audiophile, but movies and music are crystal clear and I have never approached maximum volume. I have taken the Pioneer app on my phone, stood in my backyard, took it to about 75% max volume and could hear the music clearly outdoors, but I stopped since I do not want to piss of my neighbors. I have never taken it that loud indoors. Just for kicks I turned the subs' volume to max, began to ramp receiver volume and two of my six light bulb's filaments broke in the kitchen, so I stopped. All in good fun. It is funny you ask, as I have that exact setup. I also have FH-65b as the rears.

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.

I have the three and they sound great. I use it in my basement with my projector. The basement is about 1500 square feet and it is more than enough power for the basement

Love them. So happy with the setup. Just can't wait to replace my surrounds with the lcr. It makes a great center, very clear, loud, and balanced. Only problem is a bit thick for under tv placement.

I use it and I love it. I actually think it sounds better then an imax theater when watching movies. But depends on the size and shape of room or area its in.

These would be great albeit expensive for rear speakers. I use 3 of them as fronts-center and they sound awesome.

I have the TSI100 Polks for fronts and got a BIC DV-52CLRS for a center. I did not need a lot of bass since I have a subwoofer crossed at 80HZ. Also the Polks produce enough low end ... For movies or music the BIC performs evenly and blends into a good sounding system. It is brighter than SONY without excessive mid-bass and It is smaller than Polks CS-10. Choice Depends on your taste/budget..good luck.

Yes, quite well! I have the Bic tower speakers DV64, which look to have the same efficiency, and they sound quite excellent with my $80 Fiio A1 and $100 Topping TP30. Although rated at 14 x 2 and 15 x 2 watts, I've read they're realistically more like 7-10 x 2 watts (8 ohms). While they may not be able to rock out to party levels, they can go loud and sound superb without clipping. I later upgraded to the the $200 Audioengine N22 desktop amp, rated at 22 x 2 watts. That's still modest, but it goes all the louder and sounds quite elegant. I would recommend all 3 of these amps for Bic's efficient speakers. Yes, quite well!

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 have 4... 2 sides and 2 backs and they sound great. But I would not use these as fronts. Not enough range and they are designed to distribute the sound to the sides as much as they do the front (see a picture with the grill off... the horns are at a 45 degree angle). If you can't get full fronts I would go with a bookshelf like the RB-41 II or 51. Without full fronts make sure you have a good sub.

I bought the Lyr and Bifrost by SchiitJust sent the Bifrost in for an overhaul - new boards (UBER) and getting new tubes for the LyrFor under $1k I don't think you can do better - Just got the wife a Valhalla for her HD650s - even SHE likes it <g>

I went with 8" for front right and two rears and the dual 5.25 for center. If I were to do it again I would have done two 8s for the center. The duals sound good but need a little more of the lower frequencies

I just got the RF 82's too and paired them with the RS-52's. The RS-52's sound great with in the setup. These surrounds are like 2 bookshelves combined in a semi circle array. If you are willing to pay a little more for the 62's why not go for a little more power. I would say get a good center too at least RC-62 or above to make a good match.

I never compared it to a Bic F12, I have to a Polk Audio PSW110 though and the Yamaha kicks it's butt! I'm just going off my own experience with mine. I've owned it now for almost 3 years and I have never had a single issue with it and I've used it hard for everything from movies, digital music, car audio (used it as a subwoofer in my 08 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT utilizing the power inverter) and for use on my electronic drum set. I don't know if it's because it's a downward facing sub or what, but the Yamaha SW315 fills the room with deep thumping bass. I love it! It was given to me as a Christmas gift from my brother and it continues to be one of the best gifts I ever got. I'd be lost without it.

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

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.

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.

No, Most of your Dialogue comes out of the front. I have always started with the center channel. I would splurge on the center channel before I spent money on the rears. Just my two cents.

hi chad, i ordered a complete set of bic acoustech speakers and enjoy the towers, center channel and the pl-66 rear surround. the sound is excellent if u have the right receiver to push every speaker.

Hi David - I have my BIC DV-62CLRS as a center channel and BIC DV-62si as fronts and BIC DV-52si as rears. I like the extra bass punch I get with the DV-62si at the front but I also have an understanding wife that doesn't mind a big bookshelf speaker on stands! My DV-52si aren't taxed too hard as rear surrounds but during concert videos and some sporting events when the rear channels are most active, they do VERY well. I think the DV-52si would work well as front channels if you wanted to mount them on the wall and keep your floor clear. The BIC DV's (62si, 62CLRS, 52si) are great performers and excellent value...stay with the BIC's and you can't go wrong.
