is there any difference between this and Polk Monitor 15C? Seems like 15C is smaller, but otherwise the same..

Larger sound, but my 10 does just fine in a 20 by 27' room no problems. If you plan on more music than movies get the 15.

thanks Robert, are you thinking of the 25C? from the website comparison (in my comment of frank's answer) good to know CS10 will get the job done for a good sized room, I think CS10 is a slight improvement over the 15C, but probably not by much. thanks again!

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.

The didferencw is thw bc15 has a 12ax7 tube and 15watts. The V5 uses a EL84 tube. 12ax7 are typically used as preamp tubes. Do not know the tonal difference. I do not like the bc15 tone. I replaced the speaker still doesn't sound good. Guessing v5 sounds better because of the el84 tube.

More gray, I thought about taking it in to get spray painted but since it was free can't really complain. Probably will sell it soon, looking at BIC F12, or Polk PSW 505 around Black Friday. I have this connected to my PC, purchased Polk Audio PSW110 which sounds much better for my home theater system. If PSW110 and BIC V1020 are the same price go with Polk.

Well, speakers are the custom choice, you need to know what do you like and how they should sound...I'm using Polk Audio Monitor 200.

I think if you look at the specs you'll be able to find out. No idea what monitor I have, it's my work computer. I am however starting to get some feedback from the speaker and it isn't very old. Its small and takes up no space which is nice, but not so sure about the quality at this point.

I use them with Polk T15 speakers and they work just fine. These are smaller speakers but the stands are sturdy and they look good as well.

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.

If you are talking about the physical size of the speaker, it matters not (though matching speakers - size, model, manufacturer - are probably going to give an overall better sound/listening experience.MCACC does not consider anything except the placement of the speakers, which should at least approximate the standards of 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 etc. Please check out this web page on the subject (actually, the entire website is incredibly helpful!): http://www.audioholics.com/home-theater-connection/home-theater-speaker-layout-an-essential-guide

Hi John. My monitors are the same as my main speakers, its really 2 left and 2 right main speakers, although it says monitors their not. Hope you find this helpful.

When I looked at the different models it seemed that the main difference was the number of inputs. If your only using it to play music you will only need one input, so I would say the smaller model would work for you. Just check to see if there's any difference in the power of the speakers.

I use the OM5 as the center channel in my setup. It is powered by a Pioneer Elite 60. I have OM3's filling out the rest of the 7.2 system. The sound of the Polk's powered by the Pioneer is very clear with out sounding too bright, I have 4 sub's, two ported 12inch in front and two sealed 10 inch in the rear. Because of the design of the speaker, you will need bass assistance. But bass wasn't the selling point, clarity was, and they are very clear.

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

Nope, that's the difference. Amazing anyone buys the TX-SR608. :) 1. VGA is largely obsolete; HDMI is now becoming standard on consumer PCs. 2. Sirius holds no interest to me. 3. THX is nice, but I don't have THX speakers which support the mandated 80hz crossovers (on all speakers) nor do I have a 7.1 setup (for the full THX effect)....it's just not worth it.

I've been looking into this for a few weeks now and decided to take the plunge. I have heard such good things about it and can't wait for it to arrive tomorrow. I'm only hooking up to it a PS3, my 42" plasma, and my Verizon FIOS box. I can't wait to use it with my new Polk Audio TSI 400s and 200 speakers. How is Polk's audio quality? It must be pretty good since you are still using your antique Polk speakers.

I use the Infinity Primus series. I have the c351 center speaker, the p163 floor standing for fronts, the p153 for book shelves. I have a 7.1 system, I still use my onkyo speakers for surround, and the onkyo for base. I will soon be purchasing the Infinity base, and the p143 for surround. The Infinity series are by far the best, I have tried Polk,and Klipsch,they don

I would think that you would hear a difference. The Infinity P363's are larger, more sensitive, and have a dedicated midrange for starters. I have five P363's in my large LR HT. I had two more for the mid's in a 7.1 system, but there was no easy way to wire them, so they were repurposed to my wife's office stereo. All seven were bought during $99-100 sales. My 5.1 HT is normally a 5.0 system as I seldom turn on the Polk sub... I have ten 6.5"woofers! I feel the P363's - @<$100 - are a great buy.
