Are these appropriate for home theater applications?

I have been very happy with my "Home theater application". I am using 2 of these as my main left and right channels on a 100" projector screen. I did install them up in the ceiling so the sound is kind of straight down. I sit about 12-15ft back from the screen. I would maybe look into having a Pair of these on the wall and facing forward for a little better sound. Other than that, they sound real good in my 5.1 setup. I have been to several friends homes with sound-bars and surround setups. these still sound better.

Hi Adams...yes, no doubt. That is exactly the application I'm using them in...and am very happy with the performance!

They should work with the audio out connection. I got these speakers for my laptop and they work great. That's a big TV you have though. For it I'd consider bigger speakers although wouldn't know what to recommend. Something more in the home theater line perhaps. To provide the surround sound effect you are most likely wanting.

Yes, I own these speakers, and have doubled them as a home theater system, since they seem to serve a dual purpose. Sure, they are marketed as PC speakers, but with that adapter, you probably have the best television speakers you could ever own as an amplifier to what you watch as well, including sports and movies, where this set shines. I'd highly recommend these over Bose Cinemates, they give you about the same amount of sound for a lot less money, trust me.

Yes, I am using them in a 7.1 THX, DTS, and Dolby Digital Surround Sound setup and they sound good. They go louder than I will ever need them to be. They also sound good in a 7-channel stereo setup. They Play music well and loud. With good treble and good bass. Shakes my whole house. ( I kid you not ). Just use a good subwoofer and AVR receiver. These speakers can handle it, trust me. ) I used the polk PSW10 subwoofer and Yamaha 7.1 receiver 120 amps per channel.

You mention that you are going to "hook up" to your tv. There will have to be an amplifier in the loop...tv out-to amp in, to which the speakers are connected. Sure, they will work indoors. You might even like the way they sound indoors which, btw, actually is not too bad. For a starter home theater, not a bad way to go and since they come with brackets for wall or ceiling mount applications, easy to install.

If your audio-video receiver is properly set up, then yes, they would sound and perform very well with that subwoofer. However, the speakers themselves have enough good bass response that the subwoofer is truly not needed. I have a powered subwoofer connected to my system and it has to be turned down to bare minimum to prevent it from overwhelming the Polk speakers output.

They will not be powerful enough to give you any kind of quality sound from a TV. Good for a computer, not so good for a television.

They are very clear but probably not practical for workstations. Other alternatives out there. Look at some Bluetooth speakers. That's what I use and very happy with.

I haven't heard of using them for home TV. They are primarily intended for use with mobile audio/video, such as an in-car DVD player.

They should work fine i that application. Get a 1000 watt amplifier and you will have ample and proper power.

Only if the projectors output is powered. These speakers need a stereo amp to power them. Any home stereo should work just fine as long as it has a power section and isn't too old, a decent late model.

I personally would not use them for that purpose. However, can can get a 1/4 to rca cable

They will work.For an idea of the sound quality see the many reviews of this product - many from advanced audiophiles. They only have 3.5" woofers so you can't expect them to do a whole lot with deep bass, however, in my opinion based on the TVs (CRT, Plasma & LED) I've owned they will be able to out perform most TV built in speakers. I enjoy them for surround speakers in 7.1 systems (not for Left right or center channel) where I also have a Subwoofer, and I like them very much.

Timothy Rasico and DEADHEAD are correct about how to make them work for your tv. They are very nice computer speakers, so don't try to compare them to actual home theater system speakers because they aren't as powerful considering they weren't necessarily made for tv use.

I would have to agree I have 6 of these in my theatre room for surrounds. They put out good sound. However you would need to try them I think and see.

Absolutely yes, they are not high end but good for small enclosuresYou willYes it can, you should use them in mid size to small boxesAnd push your gain a bit to get good response from lows.They are decent value for the size.
