Would these speakers be okay for a record player setup? I know the 5's would be better but would these do the job?

I have the 5's in my home office and the 2's in my work office. Both are connected to the Audioengine sub and sound GREAT!!! Sound is personal and I like both setups that I have, but the 5's really bang, shake and sound incredible. The 2's are really good with my setup, but I can't really bring the house down at work.

I have these set up in a surround schema, but would not recommend them as a "main" set of speakers unless your space is constrained to bookshelves. These are actually decent speakers, especially for the price point.

I listen to music through them all of the time and they sound great. I imagine they would be great for monitors if you had the room for them. They are pretty big.

They will work very well. I used them as such and they worked out well. Polk makes a great bang for the buck speaker. You will not be dissapointed. Just make sure you get the matching center channel.

These are not intended for home use or with a stereo receiver as they are a PA system speaker and require a pro audio power amp and a mixer to function properly. So something like a 2000 watt amp that runs around 500 watts a side at 8 ohm would be a good match for these.

they would certainly work fine. They are high quality speakers that work in any environment. I use them for monitoring music in a smaller studio space...but they are very powerful and have amplification built in.

I am quite certain that a small room could handle the speakers. They perform well at low volume for my stereo speakers on my entertainment system. I am using them like bookshelf speakers. You certainly could use smaller speakers in a room that size.

Yes, you won't have any problems. They don't have a very high impedance. You will be fine.

I use them as part of a 7.1 system as rear surrounds. it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If these would be the only speakers then front of the room

These will work nicely as main (L-R)speakers. Elevating off of the floor with stands, on bookshelf, etc. will be a consideration for most. They lack deep bass, but sound fine never the less. A subwoofer can fill in if desired. I would suggest avoiding excessive bass enhancement settings at elevated power input levels, to prevent damage, and improve sound quality.

They will sound very good---not to expect the sound to fill a concert hall--using four of these for your channels will be fantastic--or a two channael receiver like you said "vintage"---I uses mine as rear speakers for my Onkyo. Hope this helps.

I bought these speakers to use with my computer, running them off of a Topping TP-30 USB amp. However I would not have any problems using them on a small stereo with a turntable. I have much larger B&W; speakers on my home stereo for that kind of listening, If using on a home stereo I would consider using a powered sub woofer to give the system some low end.

Thanks for the response. I can't find the same speakers from anyone and the one set I found were $105/pair used! I may end up with these from what I can tell. These are bookshelf speakers for use here in my basement.

they sound very clear, it just depends on what you are using them for and what type of system you have? I chose them as L/R front and rears and got a speakercraft AIM8-3 for center channel in my surround system. But if your just using them for music they will work great!

these speakers will do the job...depending on how big your space is I would by 4 and take advantage of the shipping costs and price...

The RP5's should be ok for your studio size. I currently use these monitors today to mix electronica music in a 15X15 size room. The sound quality is pretty good for the price you pay for them. Hoped this helps you. Good luck!

Sure you could use these as surround speakers. In fact I am using them as surround and it really sounds great. I have 5:1 sound system. Connect them to the two surround speaker connection in the back. Left to left speaker and right to right speakers. If you need more advise please let me know
