What are the primary differences between Model 1540 and Model 1600? I have L/R Back &amp; L/R Surround and assume I would have to buy two units regardless

You can't use 2 kits in the same room. In your case you need to purchase the Model 400 transmitter and Model 480 wireless receivers.

The 8040BP is bipolar and makes for better surround and rear speakers. Chet at Def Tech confirmed this.

The Series II has black cloth covering the grills instead of dark gray, same drivers and tweeters. These are the entry level line from Polk right now. The name is a throwback to the original monitor series in either the 1970's or 80's(don't remember which decade). Back then Polk only did really high end speakers. Newegg has the Monitor 60 Series II for $99 each if you want to round out this set, coupon code ends 12/7. For your center, I recommend the CS20 from the TSI line. In my room(20' x 22') and after break in, they are much clearer and deeper voices when watching TV and movies than the CS2s that are supposed to go with this set. Happy Holidays.

Well i guess they discontinue the original SL49, so they rereleased it under SL49c. They sound great and still work good til this day. Just make sure you buy them from either the amazon or av house seller, ok. Hope i helped =)

Did you ever find an alternative to the BB2001? Funny, I just bought the im600 today, and it still had the slip in it for the BB2001. I would like to buy a subwoofer for it though, so let me know :) That goes for anybody reading this, too!

I wish that I could help you out. I'm using the speaker's from the home theater system that I already had hooked up. There are 100watt wall and ceiling shelve size speaker's. I do believe that the speaker's you do use, will have to be speaker's for surround,(FL>Center>FR>RL>RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL>SR). If you use just any kind of speaker's, like for stereo. Then you wont get the separation, any true affect of surround sound. I wish that I could help you out more, and hope that this will help you some what. Nick I wish that I could help you out.

For any surround system the most important piece is the center channel... I am using a high end pinnacle center not in wall ...hope this helps

I gradually updated all my surround sound speakers to BIC and I am happy with them. In addition to the DV-32CLR center speaker, I have the DV62si for my front side speakers, DV32 for my rear speakers and a V80 subwoofer. A lot depends on your room size. Mine is 15x30 but really only use half of this for the entertainment area. Good luck.

1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2. The satellite speakers on the 600 have a mid/range radiator on top. Evidently their bookshelf answer to their bi-polar drivers of the BP series.3. Subwoofer on the 600 has a 250 watt amp where as the 60.6 only has a 150 watt.That being said, I own the 60.6 and I am extremely happy. I use them with a Denon AVR-2310. If you have a larger than 400 sq ft theater space I would consider a second or more powerful sub. But at the current $219 (which is hilarious as the sub itself sells for $299) I see the set going for, its kind of hard to go wrong. 1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2.

All you need to do is go to the polk website and compare the specs. In my opinion I don't believe there is much if any of a sound difference between the two. At least that's how it looks on paper. I can't be 100% sure on that, as i haven't heard the C-15 for my self. As i stated in my review, the polk C-S 10 seems to blend in with my polk monitor 60 series II nicely, so that's all i was concerned about before i purchased the it. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

I have had this system for several months now and I can honestly say that the center is matched perfectly with the L/R speakers so that you get a balanced sound from all three. The L/R do not overpower the center channel or vice versa. Hope that helps.

Undestood. In that case if you have space If I were you I would put the L820 on the surround back and the 810 on the surround left and the surround right, by the way I could change the LC1 for a LC2 (Remmember that the center speaker manage aprox 50% or so of the sound, worth it) and for the subwoofer Cerwin Vega XLS 12S

Actually since your using the RF-42 II the recommended rears are the RB-41 II. I have the RF-42 up front 3 of them.nand a set of the RB-51 as surround L&R and the RB-41 II as surround back. If they seem to over power you can always turn the lvl down on their channel. I bought the RB-51 II for better sound with all zone and channel playback of music. Love my klipsch!

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.

Unfortunately I don't have much information to help because I'm considering the purchase of the same system. Has your impression changed much from the original post? I enjoy classical music but don't know much about different audio outputs and quality differentiators. Is there a better system at a similar price that you know of? Thanks for any additional thoughts.

Ok, got a response this morning. "Kirby,You are correct in the speakers being the only difference between these models of Home Theater systems.Bob E.Again, thank you for contacting Onkyo and Integra USA Product Support, if you need further assistance feel free to call us at:..."So there we go. Right now Amazon lowered the price of the 7300 to $550 the 6300 is $500. I read a review for the 6300 that the surround speakers are a little big, which I think I see in the picture. So I'm not sure yet, what I'll do, if the extra $50 is worth the speaker shape difference and the stands. What are you all thinking? Ok, got a response this morning.

The 1600R is a Flat Digital Passive Indoor TV Antenna while the 1650R is a Flat Digital Amplified Indoor TV Antenna. I returned mine because it didn't work because of my geographic location. If you live up high in a city that is close to major towers you'll have better luck.
