I have owned the Yamaha ns-c210bl for a few months now. I have an entertainment center and the opening I had for a center channel is 18 inches deep by 17 wide and 5 inches tall. The speaker sounds great and doesn't seem affected by the cabinet size opening. Very satisfied with the speaker.

I have the KEFs and the ML Electromotion ESLs. Both are very good but I think the KEF is probably the better speaker overall. That said, if you have the right room either will be good. I seriously considered sending the KEFs back right up until the last second. Since keeping them I've worked more on placement and coupling to the stands and that's squeezed extra performance from the KEFs which makes me glad I have them. The logan's will be happiest if the room is larger and you can get them well away from the walls, I'm able to give them about 5 feet behind them and I don't feel like that's quite enough. I had an older pair of Aerius i in a larger room where I was able to give them 7-8 feet and the presentation always blew me away. With my smaller room now I haven't been able to extract the same magic from the newer ESLs even though I feel the new ESLs are tonally well beyond the quality of the older Aerius. The KEFs will make use of all the space you can give them too, but their different approach doesn't require it as much and with their limited bass extension they'll be happier in a smaller room.

Lancejulian, I just purchaded receiver TX-NR636 and a set of Polk Audio speakers. As I have not instaled them yet I canot tell you about my experience. But I based my decision on friends and internet opinion and I am expecting good result. Here you have my speakers: central - CS10 / front (2x) TSi100 / rear (4x) T15. I will not install atmos speakears because I have a small room. In future I will have more space and will install them. I hope this can help in your decision.

I had actually emailed polk tech support to ask that question before buying. They indicated that the MC80 was the better product line and used higher quality materials. I haven't personally listened to the RC80i and then the MC80 directly so I can't say exactly what the difference in quality of components means in terms of the sound - the MC80 sounds very lifelike with voice reproduction and i would guess it is slightly better than the RC80i.

David - if your main usage is TV or movies the center speaker is the most important, since it carries the main vocals. The size of your L and R mains won't really matter since they are mostly peripheral sound. Hope you have a sub-woofer, that will help with the overall surround system. I have greatly enjoyed the difference this BIC center has made. Enjoy!!

I have both the Polk Audio PSW505 and the Klipsch Sub-12HG in two different rooms. I have been happy with both and can't tell any difference from them sonically when they are set up right. They both pack more base quantity than I can use and their bass quality is fantastic. Although they are both 12", 300 W subs, the enclosures and operation are different. The Klipsch is larger, especially in height. It is down firing and looks like a big box with legs. The Polk is front firing and has the appearance of a squatty speaker with a grill; it looks better. The Polk will probably fit in better in applications where smaller is better (without sacrificing sound!) and down firing is either too attenuated or too coupled with the floor you place it on. Although I don't believe it is typical at all, the Klipsch died the first day. It kept blowing internal fuses. Klipsch sent me a new amp assembly to install myself a week later. It was easy enough to replace and now works great, but while replacing it, I got a sight at the inside of Klipsch workmanship and wasn't impressed. The box was glued together haphazardly with at least one of the reinforcing corners braces having drifted inches away from the corner before it cured. The vent tube is cardboard. Four of the pan head screws holding the amp panel snapped off when I tried to back them out. I had to drill new holes. If price were the same, I would buy the Polk.

Yes, it should work well. I have mine set up in an 11" x 17" room connectected to a 100w receiver and it fills the room with amazing sound. One of the advantages to the Polk TL250 system is that you can add individual satellite speakers to your system if your receiver has such capabilities.

My room is 20x20 and this sub does a wonderful job with music. I don't use it for video or games. Just a guess but I think that if my room were 25x25 I might be looking for a bigger sub. I do totally recommend Polk Audio. Sounds great and excellent customer support when I needed it.

I have a 24x16 room and I have 2-RC85I's, 2-RCI80's, a Pioneer Elite SIW571L 5 1/4" In-Wall CST LCR Speaker and a PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer and a pioneer amp and they sound really good. good luck with your system.

I am sorry, but do not no your type of speakers. I have 4 Bose 301's the older style big box Bose sub woofer, replaced Bose v10 center with Polk. Polk has larger speakers, pushes better sound, then Bose v10. I hate doing a mix, but main is still Bose, except switch out for Polk center. Also really depends on your amp. I have a Yamaha amp. It worked out, adjusted speakers doing sound test to set levels. For movies have center set higher vs music.

I purchased a polycom soundstation 2W and was very disappointed in the sound quality so I returned it. Instead I got a Konftel 300W and have been very pleased. Check with the manufacturer to see if there would be any problem with two unit.

I have the 10" ported... sounds terrific. Deep lows, you can feel it in your chest. Sounds great with movies and music. But, after research, I believe the 12" sealed will be better for music.

For a room that size the 8040s would be much more suitable. My 8060s at times can be a little much in my 15 x 26 foot room. They sound amazing at every volume range and for a serious listener I highly recommend them.

Installed on a Volvo c30. I had to make some adjustment to fit in place the new tweeter. Also my review wasn't good on the midrange speaker. I had to reinstalled it using the original speaker housing. And the difference was day and night. Make sure don't leave any gaps between your speakers and interior door panels ( like using scosche adapters) Very good speakers

I have an 06 Tl. Depending on which factory head unit you have it may not work well with the ohm rating of this speaker. Also it would depend on if you have a factory unit or if you have made the switch to an aftermarket unit. As I have stated before these speakers are excellent for what they are designed for Marine use,water, moisture, shallow mounting depths etc. They do sound great! The depth will definitely work but the vehicle probably calls for a larger speaker. Again i would urge you to ask a local audio installation co.what size fits the vehicle. After you determine the Correct application size you will see that Polk has some great car speakers available for your use. If after all else considered you are determined to use this speaker, with audio enthusiasts where there is a will there is a way! My advice, correct fit, do your homework, aftermarket/factory? There are lots of variables. Factory has a center channel speaker and a built-in subwoofer with level adjustments for all. Would need to know what you are working with before i can help anymore, John
