Have an Onkyo HT-R 640 Receiver with SP-BS21-LR and a center channel will this sub pair well with it?

The subwoofer would be a great addition,just don't turn up the bass too much it may over power your pioneer speakers.

Well the Audio engine is rated at 125 watts rms and this polk at 50 watts rms, but some speakers can be more efficient and use less power, but still provide incredible bass. Disregarding price, the audio engine will probably be a better choice, but this sub is incredibly priced and can pack a punch.

Probably time to upgrade your sub. Most receivers use a lfe port to connect your subthis unit doesn't offer high frequency connections for subs. Only to your speakers.

really unimportant with a sub. I dont have this sub, but the principal is universal for powered subs. I would use a std rca sub cable and the key is to be able to place it where you maximize its impact. yes should be useable w/ almost all modern recievers

It will work fine as long as the .1 (sub output) is not an active signal. Most receivers are not active. Usually if they're passive they have a mono RCA output, and if it's active it will have a speaker jack (for speaker wire). This sub kicks! I love the adjustable crossover, and the auto on/off feature.

You connect any speaker you want to the system, as for the center channel to me it doesn't matter, later on you can get better speakers for the system.I hope this makes since and helps you out

As long as you have a sub a center speaker hookup two front speaker hookups and two rear speaker hookups on the back of your receiver, it is a 5.1 surround sound, the sound is as good as a movie theater, I love my JBL surround speakers.

Thanks for the response. This looks like a much better value than the tx-sr805. I think that I found my new receiver.

I would say it should be fine as long as the 150 watts is not the peak power, but invest in an external equalizer and use together. If you experience a lot "cut offs" or receiver resets, return it and get something either beefier or a brand that pushes more efficient power like Onkyo.

You could. I don't know how it would work/look for center. But def plenty of bass if you turn your crossover up on receiver.

Yes, you can, for example, use a very high quality mono amp for the most important channel, the center, leaving more power for the other channels. All channels have pre out availability. The perfect system would use a 3 channel (example Bryston) amp for L-C-R and have all the entire receiver's power for the remaining channels. I have done this and it is fabulous. Barry

I got mine for a center channel with the 5650 as left and right and a sub. Sounds great. I almost would even have bought this one for my left and right. Very clear and crisp but definitely pair with an additional sub.

Hopefully your receiver has the crossover in it, if not, get a passive crossover and put it between the receiver and center channel.

Yes, but whether or not they'll work has more to do with the receiver than the other speakers you're using. I have the BS-21 speakers and this center speaker on a Pioneer VSX-822-K receiver.

This is a passive device so you need a surround receiver to hook it to for Left Center and Right. The wireless sub (system) would be connected to the "sub out" line level on the back of that same receiver. You also should have surround speakers.

Based on the specs and the layout of the onkyo receiver it looks completely compatible. The bose speakers are driven by the bass via the receiver so looks like it would work great

I don't see why it would be a problem, unless you're very particular about the preciseness of your sound. I have an old pair of 5.2's paired with this center channel. Mine sounds great. As long as the receiver has a port for it you should be fine.

Glad I could help Louise. I'm not sure if you have purchased the Onkyo or not yet. I'd be interested in your opinion of it. I tried an Onkyo 607 and was not impressed. I went with a Harman Kardon 3390 stereo amp. It has 2 sub-outs, 80 wpc and will blow down the house with 1 Sony W2500 sub. A VERY good sub for $100 bucks btw.Harman Kardon HK 3390 High Performance 2 x 80W Stereo Receiver,Sony SA-W2500 Performance Line 100 Watt Subwoofer
