I'm looking for speakers for my living room to attach a turntable to. The room is 17'x14', would these be recommended for this?

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.

You will also need a phono preamp to equalize the RIAA curve and boost the signal to the line level required by the built-in power amplifiers.

No, not at all. Depending upon the size of your speakers, just be sure they are centered and you should be fine. I have vintage Bose speakers and they are solid.

You would be surprised but these can fill a large room. My advice to you would be to wait to hear them before you feel the need to add anything to them. if you truly want 7.1 sound i would suggest adding two floorstanding speakers to the front and using the 800 for your center and surround. But I believe these speakers will fill your room. Feel free to let me know how everything works out and what you decide to do.

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.

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.

I'm using them as front stereo speakers with a subwoofer in my living room. I use them for stereo music and we use them when watching movies. They should be plenty loud. You'll have to find the right balance with them if you are using a center channel. Otherwise they will work fine. I have these and an 8 inch Yamaha subwoofer and it fills the room with sound during music and movies.

Unless you have a very small TV (13" diameter or less) I wouldn't suggest it. These speakers are very, very small. Thx

They are fine for powered speakers so long as they have the mounting hole on the bottom. Speakers with 6' to 15' woofers should be fine. The stands are adequate but are a little flimsy; speaking events, moderate get togethers should be fine. Don't expect them to to withstand a solid bump, they will most likely fall over.

They are very big and chunky for computer speakers - about 4 inches wide by about 7 high by about 6 deep - set at an angle too. What you lose in their not being very compact, you definitely gain in sound!

As long as you can attach these items via regular speaker wire, you should be fine. Ours are still going strong --- with phenomenal sound for the price. As someone else said, these aren't top of the line, BUT I've never once regretted this purchase. They've served us well for nearly 3 years now. Good luck!

I have JBL studio monitor speakers that sit beyond the base plate by about 1.5 inches, they sit very secure. The base plate is 6" x 6.5" and you can twist the pole to suit your needs. I think your speaker dimensions might be on the high side. If I were you, I would shop for a slightly larger base plate. This is a great/sturdy brand - I would definitely recommend to a friend but you should see if they sell another model with a larger base plate. I wouldn't feel comfortable if my speaker was going beyond the edge of the baseplate by more than 1-1.5 inches.

Unless the speaker you have is unusually deep (most 6x9 speakers are rather uniform in depth) this will work for you. I have put 2 sets of speakers in them and both sound great

I would certainly think so. These are very sturdy and work well with my large speakers. Have fun!

The room where I have my speakers is rectangular. The speakers are placed on top of bookshelves are about 5' high and are at either end of the rectangular points. The sound produced is amazing. You can always try them in different spots to find what suits you best. They are incredibly powerful. Hope this helps.

If a small shelf would be good enough, then these brackets are way too big anyway. I'm no audiofile, and don't know much about speakers, but don't they have screw-holes in the back for mounting? I'd find screws (probably machine screws) that match those sockets, go to Best Buy or some equivalent and tell them what you're trying to do. I'm sure they have brackets that will be perfect for you needs.

Yup most definitely! Our living room is 16X20 too and we have great sound. We just positioned speakers around the room.
