i have monitor 70's for fronts. should i use monitor 60's or 40's for my surround sides?

for surrounds, the 40 would be more than decent, i feel for surround use, the 60s would be a tad overkill, of course, i have a medium sized living room so i don't have to fill a large space. i use the 40s just as mains and they are more than capable of filling my space with luscious sound.

It seems that you have a big room, if you have the monitor 70 in the front the monitor 40 would be ok for the surrounds. My room is 10' x 12' and I have the monitor 40 in the front and they sound great.

Truthfully, it doesn't actually matter. My personal philosophy is the bigger the better, so that as you turn it up you are not stressing the speakers, and there is less distortion. Hope that helps!

I am using 70's in front and the 40's in the rear, and I am happy with them.

In the front. If you have a 7.1 or greater system If I were you I would put the speakers as surround back instead of surround side, most of the pictures or concerts uses more surround back

I would say anything 37 and above. Otherwise it would look weird with a smaller system. The device (soundbar) is pretty light and can go anywhere around the TV, but i say within the 37-50 range is best.

60hz-20kHz is a wider range then 130hz-20khz. I wouldn't run these any lower then 100hz though. These are great for surround sound speakers but not for full range. The lower frequencies are there but much better when paired to a subwoofer.

I have the 47" and I love it. The stock speakers are very loud, and the visual quality is great. Being an LED, it looks really good even in a bright room, although if it's behind a window you'll still have to worry about glare. I was annoyed with how it makes shows and movies look with the Motion Blur, but you can easily turn that off; it does help make games look better though so I turn it back on for gaming.

I would let the sub handle a good portion of the lows. THX settings are 80hz, so I figure that's a good crossover point.

I went with 8" for front right and two rears and the dual 5.25 for center. If I were to do it again I would have done two 8s for the center. The duals sound good but need a little more of the lower frequencies

Ideally all front speakers, Left, Center, Right should be the same for optimal performance. Using the OWM3 as left/right main would work, and probably sound OK. I disagree with a previous comment on deficient bass response, as the very low frequencies would be handled by the sub/LFE channel with a powered sub. I would select "small speakers" on your 7.1 reciever for the front speakers when setting up your system- this will send all lower frequencies(>120hz) to the sub channel.

It really depends on the receiver you're using. If you're pushing over 100 watts per channel then go with the 20's, if not go with the 10's. I have not heard the 20's but can't imagine they aren't up to par. I went with the 10's and really like the wide profile on the wall.

Dual mono when monitor channel being used. "A" side Front speakers, "B" side monitors. Stereo when Front A-B only used. Also, Voice cancel system is inadequate. Overall Powerful sounding system.

Go for the highest contrast ratio, otherwise you will regret it later. I own the 71 and love it. The glare is not a problem for me. And the gloss makes the colors more brilliant.

For any surround system the most important piece is the center channel... I am using a high end pinnacle center not in wall ...hope this helps

does contrast ratio make a lot of difference? I'm also debating btwn 4061 and 4065.

It really depends upon the position of the speaker meaning, as fronts =no. If you were to use as rears or sides and they were placed above main listening area=OK.In the end if you can put these in ceiling, you should be able to put the cdt-5800-c in ceiling=better choice.

During the day everything is in full sharp color, at night the images are black and white. And you have an easy selector on your screen to opt for viewing either 1,4,5,7,9,12 or all 16 channels on your monitor at once. You can even select a channel and bring it up full screen. I use only a 26" monitor and it does really well, can only imagine how it will look on a 42" screen. Best of luck

The monitor out on the front is for a powered monitor. Works great. I really like to use separate floor monitors that are powered and then run the main speakers through the back.

I currently have 2x 28" BenQ monitors and I (by pulling off the end-caps) am able to angle them just fine. 2x 24" should be just fine.
