Just bought this unit. I have JBL Summit L 300's for my main speakers. I need to build out the surround sound speakers for home theater ideas?

Keeping it JBLs all the way would not be bad. Love JBLs, however in my opinion (and system) I prefer an infinity center speaker and one or two Sunfire (powered) Subwoffers the SR7007 has two sub outputs. But whatever you do keep the JBLs (or upgrade the JBLs) for front right and left.

The main thing is that your front 3 speakers match up closely , driver wise , just pick surrounds that fit your desired set up , and decor , JBL might even have their own .

do the 'mods', i.e., at least remove the tweeters from the faceplates and seal them to the faceplates/tweeters mating surfaces with plumbers putty, and super glue each woofer cones' shield can to the baskets.damping these with 4" of rockwool bats behind the drivers an two inches on the rest of the interior surfaces (save for the duct exhaust areas) will yield hifi speakers on the cheap ;)

I never tried that. I don't have mine anymore.i went to a surround sound unit made by a different manufacturer.

If you have a good Quality surround receiver(Yamaha, Marantz, Onkyo ETC.), go ahead and use them with the receiver. It is designed to have a nice set of fronts. JIm

I have the same setup as you mentioned. I used a splitter thinking I would be achieving a fuller sound. Sounds great to me. Good luck. Bill

I ran the Aux to RCA wire to the central hub for my ceiling speakers and then ran the RCA to Aux from the Logitech to my JBL Bluetooth speakers so I can just send the signal directly to the Logitech to power all the speakers, including the JBL with subwoofer. No lag at all and it sounds amazing throughout the whole house. I'm sure you could somehow connect your outdoor speakers that way.

Dear Steven, three questions to you would be: 1. Will you use a sub-woofer and a center speaker?2. Will you do this and also add two Pioneer speakers for the rear, and 3. will you only use the Pioneers for the front? Actually, all three cases will be fine, if you have more than twenty watts power or so for the fronts and not too many sound absorbing rugs and window curtains. I have found the two Pioneer speakers to do very well with movie dialogue when I got rid (!!!) of my 5.1 receiver!!! I actually enjoy my movies as stereo! What objections this will raise from some! Yours, Churchorganist. Dear Steven, three questions to you would be: 1. Will you use a sub-woofer and a center speaker?2.

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

Honestly, buy a new receiver. You need this, and then you can continue using the speakers you have. Trying to do this any other way is not a good idea, and will end up costing you the same amount of money and continued frustrations on lack of HDMI inputs and outputs.

I assume what you're asking is...instead of using the two JBL standard 'bookshelfs', you want to replace them with the two JBL 'center' speakers? If so, I think it would be ok. I bet in a blind test you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I'm also assuming you're substituting because of height or size restrictions because of your wall unit?

With the system your planning to get above the pl-66 will blend nicely yes it would work awesome make sure when you place the 3 frond speakers left,center,right channel all tweeters are ear height the best and fastest way to do this is by getting a laser and throw a line horizontal accross for your surround speakers they need to be 2 feet down from ceiling sub woofer if possible in front and in the middle of the room if not you will need to do the crawl method to figure out with side will be best for the sub the right side or left side hope this help

I don't see why not? you will just have to splice the wire to the speakers since it has it's ownconnection. only thing though is if the surround would be able to drive your new speaker?ig: enough power or same impedance or not, you should find out first cause I don't know if that is relevant or not.....hope this helps......

Give us a price range. <<<very importantI'd start by getting the Onkyo TX-SR606 and then deciding how much you have left for speakers. Focus on a strong 3.1 set and if you have extra get the surrounds.

I would recommend a sub and surround speakers. I use a sub and it sounds great. I also got the matching center channel which is awesome too.

I currently use a Klipsch speaker sys and not familiar with actual use of Boston or JBL. I know the receiver made a big diff in bringing out the best in mine.

I have the same question. I've configured it for speaker b, but there is no sound.

These are excellent and very directional surround speakers that should work well with your current high-end stuff. I've been very happy with mine. Most sources - satellite TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV - anything except for BluRay - depend a lot more on the front speakers.
