I have the TSI100 Polks for fronts and got a BIC DV-52CLRS for a center. I did not need a lot of bass since I have a subwoofer crossed at 80HZ. Also the Polks produce enough low end ... For movies or music the BIC performs evenly and blends into a good sounding system. It is brighter than SONY without excessive mid-bass and It is smaller than Polks CS-10. Choice Depends on your taste/budget..good luck.

Thanks Ben. I don't know too much about speakers so I appreciate your input. I have this TV and I can tell you that there are two separate sets of cables, as you anticipated for the R & L speaker..I guess I should think about 6.1 or just get a separate center speaker. On the other hand, could you let me know if, when reading the manual, you saw anything about setting it up through the on screen menu? Some TVs can simply set the TV speaker output to center speaker..Thanks!

David - if your main usage is TV or movies the center speaker is the most important, since it carries the main vocals. The size of your L and R mains won't really matter since they are mostly peripheral sound. Hope you have a sub-woofer, that will help with the overall surround system. I have greatly enjoyed the difference this BIC center has made. Enjoy!!

With these speaker systems you should not run any sub out rcas to them, your best bet is to just run the standard speaker wire and set the receiver to large size and that will send the lfe/.1 channel to the front speakers and make.sure you turn off the sub option in the menu of the receiver. As far as which center to get , I would definitely recommend going with the 8060 because it will play louder and cleaner because the built in amp takes care of the bass and use a 40 hertz crossover or higher on all the speakers.

I use the FH6-LCR center channel along with the FH-6T (or FT-6T as Amazon calls them), it's great. I went for the whole package, I bought the FH6 center channel and an F 12 subwoofer, it is great. Given my room size, everything really sounds good and I never have to crank it up to get a good sound stage.

I looked up the tuner and i can say it would be perfect match my friend, because the tuner is the right amount of watts 80 watts just get a 12 inch woofer at least ok because the speakers do sound good but really would sound better with a bigger sub, please you have to make sure you separate the sound good, i sold them ASAP because my tuner was at 120 watts per channel way too many, they feel cheap but much better them a lot of speaker i have owned, if you want a very good sounding speaker take your time and by piece by piece polk you can buy on ebay but go with polk.com and down on the right click on polk ebay and get the refurbished- they are good as new trust me i have the TSI300 & Monitor 50s like new you cant tell- so take your time man trust me with the Onkyo will sound so good it would blow you away, if you have any other Q.A please email me bro?

I am sorry, but do not no your type of speakers. I have 4 Bose 301's the older style big box Bose sub woofer, replaced Bose v10 center with Polk. Polk has larger speakers, pushes better sound, then Bose v10. I hate doing a mix, but main is still Bose, except switch out for Polk center. Also really depends on your amp. I have a Yamaha amp. It worked out, adjusted speakers doing sound test to set levels. For movies have center set higher vs music.

Sound bars pretty much look like the center speaker you would have, but a bit bigger (depending on the brand and version) and attempt to emulate a surround sound experience.Obviously, you never get the full surround sound you will have with your 5.1 system, but it saves you alot of space, almost no wiring (generally, it will be a cable hooked up to the tv, and another for the woofer, with some woofers connecting wirelessly). Would work best in smaller rooms, or for those looking to augment the typically poor sound emanating from the flat screen tvs. Their prices vary from under $100 up to $1500+ Amazon has a huge selection. While at bestbuy, I listened to a few of them, with the Sony CT150 and the PolkAudio 3000/6000 producing the best sound for my taste (samsungs were horrid, and Boston Acoustic [dont remember which one] seemed muffled).

Mine is right in front center of TV. That was what I was looking for barely 4" high it fits below the screen without getting in the way like bulkier taller center channel speakers. I have a subwoofer as it part of my 7.1 speaker system with 2 Cerwin Vega bookshelf a up front and 4 Boston acoustic cubes as surrounds. Relatively inexpensive but great sounding system with my Sony 7.1 receiver.

it all depends on how much money you have .... most of the top brands are great Polk, Rockford, Kenwood, my favorite is focal but way $$$$$$ alpine makes a nice one for under 200 Pioneer has one for 300 ish but you can spend 1000's ..... I like to match so I would go with Polk they pad4000 or d2000 are not much

I own 3 pair of the MC60 they sound great! I assume, since they have similar specs, this would be a better sonic match than say adding another brand in ceiling. Is this for center channel? If so definitely fine choice as it's typically voice so no other speaker to compare it to in the system.

First of all I love the 75T, is this for music or home theater? If this is for home theater the TSI300 would be fine but If for both music and home theater i would purchase the 75T. Hope this helps. Remember the center speaker is one of the most important speakers for your home theater system never skimp.

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.

I went with the Polk Audio RM6750 5.1 set. Plenty of volume, no distortion, nice range and they look great. They're currently going for $258 here on Amazon. If you search a bit you can find them for $200 somewhere else (hint: egg). These speakers are good. For $200 they're a steal. There are better speakers out there, but none that I know of that are better for the price.

Well, speakers are the custom choice, you need to know what do you like and how they should sound...I'm using Polk Audio Monitor 200.
