Definitive Technology Mythos front, rear and center+D.T. Super Cube II + Denon 2808CI = unbelievably powerful and clear sound with excellent presence and depth.

I have paired Polk Audio RtiA series speakers with this unit and they sound great. I have a pair of Polk RtiA5s for fronts, the CSIA6 for the center adn RTia1s as my rears/surrounds. Couldn't be happier.

Good question...I have mines up top too, it does not sound bad. What receiver or amplifier are you using or how many watts per channel?I have an Onkyo 80 watts per channel and it sounds pretty good but I am in the process of getting the Onkyo 828.Check your settings, db

That depends on many things (your room, how loud your listening...type of music... crossover to sub etc ) your receiver is rated @ 135 / channel - when running in mutli-channel that output will be less however bottom line they are much better than the 70's ( I went from 60's to the RTI no contest) Some ideas to share (1.) take some time with speaker placement in your room... get them out into the room as much as you can at least out in front of other equipment especially the TV. (2.) Run your speaker calibration on the AVR but plan to run again 30 days once the speakers break-in or if you move speakers (3.) there are pre outs on that AVR to add external amp if you feel you need more power. (4.) Enjoy them ... the A9's are large and sound fantastic! FYI the Efficiency spec is 90 dB on the A9 you should be very happy with these speakers connected to your Avr

Matt, in my opinion you can't go wrong with either one but from what I have read, the 7008 is a step above the Denon. Here is a link to a review I read:http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/marantz-sr5008-sr6008-sr7008I have not installed a new 7008 so I cannot give you an opinion based on personal experience... Hope this helps. Brad

I actually don't own these. ( I wish) but I do own a bunch of cerwin Vega speakers and from what I understand they are made to be played on almost any wattage. I'm no expert by any means but 85w and it being a Yamaha u should be fine. I run 140w to the single 12" version of that and it ROCKS!

Great computer speakers. However I have them hooked up to an Audioengine D1. It is a Digital to Analog converter. From the converter to the speakers there are two are connector that go from the dac to the speakers. They have their own power source. It is 50 Watts. They need a break-in period. They are very loud for 50 watts. As long as the receiver has rca connectors you could do it but I would not advise it as they have their own power supply. You could do research on digital to analog converters online to find one to your liking. I like the Audioengine it was well rated in reviews and I paid $169.They have a mini plug that you can plug directly into your sound card. Great computer speakers.

Hi Major Tom. I am probably the wrong guy to answer. I called Klipch directly as I wanted to match the tone, etc of my mains that I have had for close to 20 years. I was leaning toward the rc's as I thought them to be the better speaker. The direction from Klipsch was the C series. I have the C20 center and matched with surrounds. I am quite happy now the I have them dialed in. If it matters, I am using a Marantz 7008. Good luck, JG

What exactly do you mean that a 7.1 system will never be used? I was planning on getting a 7.1 and putting 4 speakers in the living room with the TV and two in the adjoining kitchen area. No? Do you still get surround sound with 7.1 and are the Onkyo speakers really that bad? I was looking at either the 7200 or 6200.

That is Personal Preference and subjective, I can't comment on the current Yamaha Line up but feel that Denon seems to be one of the leading edge AVR's these days. Their Auddessy Setup is really awesome as it automatically measures the distances and sets the proper levels of the speakers for you.

Go online to denon and ask the same question, corp is very good for a quick response.

I have a pioneer vsx-1121K and have the A9's Bi-Amped, hitting these with 220W per channel. Even hitting these speakers with this amount of power they still aren't working hard. I'm looking into getting either a different receiver or a seperate amp to make these guys really shine...

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?

Do yourself a favor and read the manufacturer product description posted on Amazon.com. I have these speakers connected to a 5.1 channel A/V receiver for a small room. These speakers are small and not very powerful sound-wise. I purchased a separate sub-woofer to up the bass. As the other customers have answered you still need more speakers specially for a 7.1 channel A/V receiver.

Andrew:>Here's the problem: the stupid Pioneer certainly has 7.1 OUTPUTS to the 7 speakers and the sub, but the INPUTS are only 5.1You can still use the 7.1 outputs to the 5.1 inputs; just don't use surround back left and surround back right.
