How this product performance and audio quality compared to energy 5.1 & logitech z906 channel home theater speakers
1947249
None of the systems I've owned previously were surround sound but I have owned high-end Bose speakers in the past and, with the proper set-up, I think these speakers could hold their own with any brand. Add the price factor and they're unbeatable.

I don't know about those systems. I have a Bose 5.1 system and the Monoprice is almost as good.

Baig, thanks for the thought on the speakers. I'm using a brand new Onkyo 7.1ch home theater set rated 130W per channel. On top of that, I've swapped in my old Polk Audio speakers for the fronts, which are rated 150W each. So power is not the issue!

50W is 50 watts per channel and X4 means that you have four channels (two front speakers and 2 rear speakers). These are pretty efficient at 92dB SPL 1W/1M so even at the bottom one third of your volume control you should get pretty good sound out of them. Both the Infinity X and JBL GTO's are much more efficient at 94 dB SPL 1W/1M (every 3dBW increase doubles the volume). However the low end frequency response (BASS) is much better for the Pioneer's that on the other two. Hi frequencies are better also but the only living thing in the room that will appreciate 38KHz is your dog. the VAST majority of humans about the age of 18 can't hear frequencies about about 20KHz. All three of the speakers in this post are top of the heap speakers for 2015.

I'm not too sure how they compare to the Polk audio but I do know how they compare to the Energy Take Classic, and these out performe the Energies by leaps and bounds!!! The sound that come out of these are AMAZING!!! The only issue I could see having with these would be the size but with big speakers come BIG clean sound!!! I do not think you will be upset with these.

This is my only Logitech Bluetooth but I can tell you it is better than my under $100 wired speakers. I was very reluctant to do bt speakers. I Googled a fair amount of reviews specs etc then tossed caution to the wind. I am more than pleased.Something else - I have discovered these music players and equalizers are not so hot. I found that pre-set settings such as Middle or Normal give best sound. Your speakers will sound bad if you pump up the artificial bass (they are only software mods). Hope you make as good a choice for you as I did for me.

I'm returning my energies right as we speak.. and gonna give these a shot, my energies sounded crisp clear and beautiful with my polk fronts and hafler sub.. but a normal levels certain frequencies had them buzzing and popping..... in a tiny room they might do ok as 7.1 one with better fronts and sub like I said.. but on there own or in a full size living room they are completely worthless to me

Try CNET reviews and here is a link that provides some of the specs. http://speakerreviews.info/polk-audio-rm85-5-channel-home-theater-system-reviews/ These are really good sounding speakers.

That is a very subjective question. I am not sure anyone could give you a knowledgable answer as there are too many variables. That said, the speakers are very high quality and if installed properly and powered properly they will sound very good. I hope that helps. Robert

i am not familiar with those speaker / i use Klipsch Heresey but they are inefficient so check the power rating for the cerwins online.

Aviv,Thanks, I already made up my mind and go with the energy 5.0 classic, what sub are you using this this set?thanks

I went to BB to listen to the Klipsch with a variety of different receivers and I would say go with the Energy RC micro's. I think they sound much better and it's odd since they are the same company. I paired my speakers with the Onkyo sr 507 and its sounds great.

I tried a replacement with my Z5500 Logitech thx but it did not work. Save your money and get the next best which is the Logitech Z906 System.The base sound will not replace the Quality of the Z5500 Woofer. But the sound is great for a PC. Amazon has it. But I got mine at http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=z906+logitech&N;=0&InitialSearch;=yes&sts;=ma&Top;+Nav-Search= for $320.00Good luck

The built in speakers are very good. I have found that the IR wireless ones are better for me for two reasons. 1) the privacy of stereo sound is superb and I don't bother anyone else, and 2) when my grandkids are using them, I don't have to listen to MEGAMIND for 8 solid hours as they replay it over and over and over while I'm trying to drive. Stop the insanity. It's not spoiling the kids, it's spoiling you. Don't you deserve to relax while you drive? As long as they're listening to it, they're not begging for every McDonald's they see on the billboards. Spend the extra few bucks per child and they won't do to you what you did to your parents.

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

I have always need partial to Klipsch, plenty of stamina to handle the peak outputs when you want to feel the music. For the living room I stay with Polk, great quality throughout the listening range for a pleasant experience. If I already had the JBL's I would look for complementary JBL's to finish the setup. Speaker choice really depends on what you listen to, the acoustics of the room, your budget and how it sounds to you. Find a store that will let you try out different speakers or at least exchange without a fee.

I would have to say the sound quality for sure. I've had a lot of cheapy logitechs that although sounded decent these blow the doors off of the 50$ models. Klipsch is a very high quality brand and these are awesome. I was skeptical too but after I plugged them in I noticed immediately the difference in sound quality.
