I have rear surround speakers already installed in my walls. Can I use all of the speakers in this soundbar as the center and front surrounds?

I've got it hooked up in a 7.1 configuration using existing rears as back surround. If you use the right terminals on the speaker, it will combine drivers for you to set it up the way you need to- using existing surrounds.

yes. you should be able to make a direct replacement. they sound very natural and balanced and have even improved over time. i have them in my 7.1 surround system and just took my previous speakers and put them on the wall over the tv and put these as the main front speakers on either side of the center speaker and it sounds great. they have plenty of timber but aren't bass heavy which is perfect for a media system since you have the subwoofer.

They would work for rear surround speakers, but there are constraints. The speaker is deeper than it is wide and there is a port on the back of the unit so you can't flush mount it to the wall. They would have to be on a stand or shelf. They make a L820 model if you need to mount them on the wall. These speakers sound great.

I don't recommend mixing and matching different brands or different types of speakers in a surround sound system. Even mixing different lines or series of speakers within a particular brand can present performance problems. In order to maintain a reasonably consistent sound performance between speakers, it's a good idea to have a matched system of the same "family" of speakers and the same brand as well. Matching your front three speakers is the most important aspect, but if the manufacturer of your front speakers doesn't make a suitable surround speaker or front speaker, you can consider going with a different brand, or a different series of surround speakers of the same brand. I recommend to stay within the same brand and series for all of your speakers, always choosing speakers with similar output capabilities above the crossover point, to preserve dynamic sound range for the entire system. The sound response is always ideal that way.

I'd say yes. as long as you can use your TV as your center speaker you're better off with the back speakers as the option.

I would not use these speakers as fronts. I like to direct my front left and right at my main listening position, these don't lend themselves to that positioning. I use them as left and right surrounds and they are fine for that. I much prefer classic heresy speakers for fronts as they are smallish but sound great.

They'll work great for front and rears. I personally wouldn't use them on the center channel. The center channel is your primary channel for tv and movies and would need to be more rigorous. Theater Solutions also makes a center channel speaker.

Sure you can. I used this speaker combo as a center channel and I installed the circular speakers in my ceiling for my other channels. So far regardless of my setup, the receiver has done all the rest. I have true cinema quality sound now.Good luck,Salvador

It would be fine to use a center speaker but I would rather recommend this speaker as it is designed to be a center...Polk Audio 255C-RT In-wall / In-ceiling center channel speaker

I have installed the center speaker horizontally and side speakers vertically. There are adjustable twitters on the, so you can position those correctly to the center of your room. Hope that helps.

The way I connected my rear (surround) speakers were to the surround amplifier that I placed in the rear of my room. The instructions are indicated in the manual. If you have any other questions, give Sony a call!

No provision. Space them as you would normal speakers. I had mine installed where I wanted them and the installer said the same thing. The audio just carries into more dead areas.Dennis

It sounds to me that you actually want one of those soundbar solutions. These have multiple inputs that will accommodate multiple channels. You definitely don't want to combine the left/right/center outputs of your receiver (amp, or other media source) and connect them to the SINGLE speaker input which the Primus has. That's a recipe for disaster, and will damage the receiver. If your receiver lets you send a mono signal to all channels you might send that one signal everywhere, including this center channel, but I doubt anyone would find that satisfactory.

Yes you can. I used the Yamaha NS-C210BL 2-way center speaker because of where my studs were located. Yamaha makes a good in-wall center speaker. It mounts vertically. NSIW960 I believe.

IMO, that isn't very good advice if you're using the system mostly for movies/TV. Most movies are mixed in 5.1 discrete channels so the sounds you'd hear from your R/L surround speakers won't be reproduced by your front or center speakers. Using the surrounds will give you a much better movie viewing experience evenif you have a small room. You cam omit setting up the back speakers as they will be matrixed from the L/R surounds on most movies so you won't be missing too much. Based on this poor advice alone, I'd consider hiring a different HT tech.

Yes you can. That's exactly what I did with mine. Spliced the speakers wire from all 3 speaker terminals together & connected them to my center channel input on my amp. Great center channel speaker!
