I have a new Sony 7.2 STR DN840 receiver. I want to add another set of speakers for the front highs, Would these make a good satellite speaker?

I love my pair, they sound great and I can pick out a lot of details in shows and movies that I never noticed with my previous set of speakers. Music sounds amazing on these too!

Dude, it works well but you should give the speaker a better receiver:Marantz SR5008 7.2-Channel 1080P and 4K Ultra HD Pass Through, Networking Home Theater Receiver with AirPlay (Discontinued by Manufacturer)Whats your front speaker?

While I hesitate to give answers on these types of questions because there are some serious audio snobs out there but here we go... I have the entire set (center and rear surrounds as well as fronts) and I love them. They are crisp and clear. A good friend has the Bose speakers and we both prefer the sound of my system. That said, the rooms are different and speaker wire and receiver... are all different. I assume you're pairing them with a sub because they lack deep punch on their own. Long story short - I love mine. I compared them at electronics stores as well to Polk and Bose - and they sounded better to me, as well as the sales guys there. Hope it helps.

I am using a Pioneer 7-channel receiver whose model number is VSX 816 I bought 7 years ago. These Bose speakers run well with this receiver. If you want more bass, you can buy an additional sub woofer for perfect sound.

Yes. Make sure you set receiver speaker settings to 6 ohm. Most receiver default setting is 8 ohm. Refer to your manual if you are not sure where or how to change setting. Get these speakers. You will love them. Make sure you have a sub to go with it.

Depending on what your other speakers are, I actually think they would be a pretty good speaker as a high or wide. The reason I said that it depends in your other speakers is because you typically want your speakers to be timbre matched, otherwise it does not sound quite right. I believe that these are timbre matched to the Polk tsi or monitor speaker series.

As these are just a pair of speakers you would need at least a stereo amp, speaker wire, and RCA cables for input into the receiver. I paired these speakers with a Sony STR-DH130 2 Channel Stereo Receiver and find that it drives them quite well. I primarily use them for listening to music but they do well for watching tv, though some equalizing may be necessary.

I think so. I was impressed with the sound and the clarity of the NS-310BL's. They make a great enhancement to my front Yamaha tower speakers.

If you are installing only two front and two rear speakers they should work fine. If you are planning a 5:1 surround system they do not perform well as center channel speakers.

They sound great for both but definitely get a sub too (I use an SVS SB 2000) . I have a Denon 2100w receiver powering mine and I also use one as a center channel. Oh and its in a 19 X 17 living room with 20 ft ceilings.

Hi,I bought the Dayton Audio HTS-1200B home theater speaker set plus SAT-BK Satellite speaker pair to make them work with my ONKYO TN-XR626 7.2, all associated with a subwoofer Canton AS 85.2 Aktiver (200/250Watt, made in Germany). What I can say is that it makes the effect of a bomb. I am fully satisfied with these little speakers.

Absolutely! This receiver lets you use a setup "up to" 7.2 channels. The speaker inputs are labeled for 5.1 as well. That's what I'm doing right now, secure in the knowledge that I can always add another two satellites and a second subwoofer later. Take a look at a picture showing the back of the receiver, the input panel, and you'll see it's labeled for 5.1 as well. Hope this helps!

I have these speakers for my back surround sound speakers. They sound great with my denon 1312 receiver.

Hey Slater, I pretty much have the same setup you just described, got the Son STRDG 720 last week and just purchased these speakers today. Which speakers do you think would be a good purchase to convert this system into 7.1? I have two large polk bookshelves at home although they are a bit old, what do you think?

Definitely, they will work and it will maximize the power of your receiver because you have 4 driver- and 3 way floorstanders, it will provide more detailed balance sound and better use two (2) put them at your front channel and you will experience a high quality speaker system.

Same here, I have them as front speakers. Rear will probably do great as well.

I looked up the tuner and i can say it would be perfect match my friend, because the tuner is the right amount of watts 80 watts just get a 12 inch woofer at least ok because the speakers do sound good but really would sound better with a bigger sub, please you have to make sure you separate the sound good, i sold them ASAP because my tuner was at 120 watts per channel way too many, they feel cheap but much better them a lot of speaker i have owned, if you want a very good sounding speaker take your time and by piece by piece polk you can buy on ebay but go with polk.com and down on the right click on polk ebay and get the refurbished- they are good as new trust me i have the TSI300 & Monitor 50s like new you cant tell- so take your time man trust me with the Onkyo will sound so good it would blow you away, if you have any other Q.A please email me bro?

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.
