Unfortunatly I am still using the Panasonic speakers that came with integrated dvd/suuround sound unit,SA-PT660. The BIC made a major differance. I originally thought it was the system itself. I just didn.t know if I wanted to spend any more money on a unit that is in my compiter/ work out room.

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.

Dear Linda, as far as I know this cannot be connected as part of a surround sound set up, you or someone else may have. From what I've read you cannot connect this model to a sub woofer.The connection is done through the tv . If you should have a home surround sound and your two front speakers and the center are no longer working . You would be much better off with finding 2 front speakers and a center again. I don't think this bar can substitute for your needs. I am not by any means a tech guru. I do know some stuff by educating myself with the comment of others on consumer sites. I hope this helps by Bernard Dear Linda, as far as I know this cannot be connected as part of a surround sound set up, you or someone else may have.

These are excellent and very directional surround speakers that should work well with your current high-end stuff. I've been very happy with mine. Most sources - satellite TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV - anything except for BluRay - depend a lot more on the front speakers.

The dual 4" speakers of the RC-42 (center speaker) add a little bass to the front speakers but if you want to feel it consider adding the Klipch SW-450 subwoofer with 10" speaker (there are a few different sizes available). Yes they cost more.

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.

Hi Major Tom. I am probably the wrong guy to answer. I called Klipch directly as I wanted to match the tone, etc of my mains that I have had for close to 20 years. I was leaning toward the rc's as I thought them to be the better speaker. The direction from Klipsch was the C series. I have the C20 center and matched with surrounds. I am quite happy now the I have them dialed in. If it matters, I am using a Marantz 7008. Good luck, JG

I would recommend a sub and surround speakers. I use a sub and it sounds great. I also got the matching center channel which is awesome too.

all my speakers are the same except for my centeri got all sonys,and my center is an energy c-c50,ecerything sounds fine,i have no problems

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.

It doesn't sound boxy at all. IMO it sounds solid across the spectrum. It is a center channel in my application. I have B&W; left right front and rear. In an 11 speaker configuration. This makes great highs and mids.

Remember to screw in to an 2x4? Its heavy and try to put a bit of foam or something to take the vibration of from going into the wall? Also center speakers are made to b put in front of th listener's or angle ur speaker down ? This is very important ! And vrak in the speaker for 40-50 hrs of mid high volume? Face the speaker 1 inch from the wall and turn it up for a while. This speaker sucks until u brake the 8 inch speakers in? This is important! !!!! Have fun ,and enjoy !!!!�

Yes, I recently added a center channel speaker to my existing 2 front speaker set up. I was running through RCA cables initially, but with the added channel, these are incompatible. I got the optical audio cable, hooked it to my receiver, but have been unable to get any sound whatsoever out of it.

Ditto, the only info I would add is these are probably the best little speakers value for money any where. I have also had Martin Logans and Bose (the former being very good and still used but Bose is too much hype with little substance.) my CA' are paired with a pair of Martin logan motion 6 front stereo speakers and a REL 505 subwoofer with an Onkyo AV 7.2. the clarity is simply excellent. PS lots of mounts on Ebay but as the previous suggest wall mounted much better....

I got a subwoofer and center speaker also. I would recommend a subwoofer. It helps a lot. I think the speakers sound too shrilly though. It's good for home theater but not accurate for classical music.

Thanks Ben. I don't know too much about speakers so I appreciate your input. I have this TV and I can tell you that there are two separate sets of cables, as you anticipated for the R & L speaker..I guess I should think about 6.1 or just get a separate center speaker. On the other hand, could you let me know if, when reading the manual, you saw anything about setting it up through the on screen menu? Some TVs can simply set the TV speaker output to center speaker..Thanks!

I am still useing the stock radio just replaced my door speakers with Kenwood KFC 1664s and rear 5.25 speakers with Kenwood Kenwood KFC 1354s am I love them for the sound and how cheap and easy they were to install . Whatever you get I would not get anything more than a 3way speaker front or rear you will notice a loss of base if you do,,unless you install a subwoofer which is a whole other ordeal altogether.

Hi. It´s probably defective,, but I always use the headphone or aux "out" to an extarnal speakers, the sound from the built in speakers is not good, so before you return it, maybe try that, I got myself 2,1 speakers from Logitech and they are amazing and they only cost like 100 $...
