I use a pair of the 62si's with the 32CLR as center and would recommend the setup. However, if you're not budget constrained and like to listen to loud music, you might want to consider something bigger like the DV64's.

For a great sound at a great price, the BIC DV62si bookshelves can't be beat. I use them in my family room as remote speakers and I can't believe the highs, mid-range and the bass. I have B&W; speakers for my home theater in a large room, but for a smaller room you can't beat these.

Youll have to do what Most of us did, replace it with another type of center speaker or find it used. :p Ebay or craigslist is your best hope, but this speaker is really hard to find. if you need a great alternative center speaker im sure you can ask or someone will post here eventually. :p

I'm using them as fronts with a PL-28II Center speaker and PL-66 as surrounds they sound great I ordered two more FH-65B for wides I'm also running two subs the F12 and a Polk Audio PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer that I already had. At first i thought the FH-65B were a little too harsh but they have settle down nicely using my TX-NR818 to drive I ran audyssey XT32 and it set the cross over at 40Hz, I left it there so there you are i'm very happy with these speakers.

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

This is a center speaker. You need a subwoofer or front speakers to get you the bass. Not withstanding that, it is a very good speaker you are going to love your home theatre experience.

Your rear speakers don't necessarily have to match your fronts, so with that theory in mind, these should serve you well. As long as your center matches your front left and right, you're good.

This is only for the Front Left/Right, Center and Rear Left/Right. Your subwoofer will get it's signal from your processors' subwoofer outlet.

That is a great question. I thought the same thing. Until I went to the theater and read some more information about quality sound. The next time you go to the movies, zero in on the sound and you will notice that all the sound comes from the center speaker, with the other front and rear speakers complimenting the center speaker. That is why I love this center speaker so much. It has been a year now and the sound I think is even better now that it is broken in. I hope my response was helpful.

You don't have to. I actually used these as my rear surround and the TSi400's for the front and a cs-10 for the center. But I'm sure 4 of these and a sub would sound excellent. If you want the full "5.1" you'll need a center speaker. 5.1 = 5 (speakers) .1 (subwoofer) roughly

Hey everyone,I just purchased this system and wanted to jump in. I'm using the Sony STR-DG820 as my receiver and have SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers as my fronts. I bought this system to use as the remainder of a 7.1 channel setup. Polk seemed to recommend the setup that Schor talked about when using their satellites in the package as front speakers. Would anyone recommend this setup with the larger bookshelf speakers or would using the sub-out on the receiver be better? Any thoughts? Thanks

I've seen people use this speaker as a center speaker; however, I do not recommend it. I suggest you purchase a speaker designed specifically for the center channel. If you must have a center, in-wall speaker... I suggest the "Polk Audio Dual 5.25" Two-Way Center Channel In-Wall Speaker."

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

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

The best is slot ported as shown on the screen. I build my own and they always sound better.I got 2 cheap 20 dollar subs for my girlfriend and they sounded great.. Yes it will fit...

Go for the 8060 Center. Just hook it up like your normally would and then set your center channel to large in your receiver's set up. If you can set the crossover point on your center channel, try 50hz or 60hz. It will sound great without having to run another subwoofer cable.

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.

Dear Steven, three questions to you would be: 1. Will you use a sub-woofer and a center speaker?2. Will you do this and also add two Pioneer speakers for the rear, and 3. will you only use the Pioneers for the front? Actually, all three cases will be fine, if you have more than twenty watts power or so for the fronts and not too many sound absorbing rugs and window curtains. I have found the two Pioneer speakers to do very well with movie dialogue when I got rid (!!!) of my 5.1 receiver!!! I actually enjoy my movies as stereo! What objections this will raise from some! Yours, Churchorganist. Dear Steven, three questions to you would be: 1. Will you use a sub-woofer and a center speaker?2.
