Plan on using these in an average living room for the rear of the room behind the loveseat. No sub-woofer as it is not practical for the room .

If they are being used as surround speakers, they should be fine. If they are to be used as main speakers you will not have good bass response or volume without a sub woofer.

If it's bass you want, theses are NOT the way to go. They are ok for maybe 7.1 surround but I would not use them as your main rear speakers.

What exactly is your question? I have a pair of these as rear surround mounted on the ceiling behind a couple of theater seats...they sound awesome..but i have a sub hooked up...ok from previous answers i gather you want to use them as rear speakers..not good idea..they are mainly surround speakers, so not very good bass response.

....they work great as a pure audio speakers paired with a subwoofer.... so it should work even better as video speakers

Technically they are small compact sub woofers. Think of it as a vibrator that you attach to your furniture. It really adds a noticeable boost to movies and music. I have four installed in a seven seat sectional powered buy a cheap $100 Pyle amp. It is way more effective than I thought it would be. If you want your room to go boom I recommend these.

The sound is great from these speakers. A sub would round out the lows perfectly. I assume you would mount these vertically since they are too wide to fit between typical framing 16" O.C. Overall great product, I used one as a center channel with the Yamaha 6.5" dual tweeter angled woofer for in ceiling surrounds. Amazing!

You'll need to supplement this speaker with a sub-woof, particularly at loud listening levels. Given it's size, and the number of drivers in the cabinet, it's not really intended to move the sofa around the room with you seated upon it. That said, from mid-bass upwards into the higher octaves, the Primus is 'razor sharp' in clarity, 'forward' in sound projection, and offers a broad dispersion pattern. It's worth what they're asking for it.

Yes, the sub-woofer is down firing. The sound bar will fill a room but there is a sweet spot when sitting in front of it.

I believe you can -- there are two extra speaker terminals on the back -- but I would want to use a self-powered sub-woofer. I have misplaced my instruction booklet but you can get this information online at the Yamaha website.

The speakers are not good for a main TV - they are more suited for a computer or a small bedroom

It will absolutely make a huge difference without a sub woofer. I have these in my Jeep Grand Cherokee rear doors and they have very little bass. Clear sound for the price and I would buy them again but very little low end.

Any answer is really subjective. I found them to be OK. But, I still added a subwoofer and that combination seems to work fine. They are in a fairly large room and at opposite ends of the couch in that room. The sound you get is quite nice and really fills the place up. The room is also carpeted. I listen to a lot of systems, play music and listen to studio monitors. These are fine for a home system without spending a fortune.

Just select a stereo amp for them as you would for any 50W 4 ohm speaker but; you're going to have to make sure they are fastened to the frames in the seats to transmit the most vibration to the occupant. I think putting them in the back would be best if you've room. Be really happening with one in the bottom as well. That way it would be impossible to realize where the vibration emanates from. Crazy out-of-the-box idea man. The kind I like the best!

I am quite certain that a small room could handle the speakers. They perform well at low volume for my stereo speakers on my entertainment system. I am using them like bookshelf speakers. You certainly could use smaller speakers in a room that size.

Short answer is no. A sub woofer will add much more pleasure to the ears. A sub woofer makes a night and day difference!

The TV is about 10' away from where I sit. It has more than enough sound. If you like the surround sound/theater type speakers then yes I would get a sound bar or front and rear speakers w/sub woofer but I don't think it is at all necessary.

I would not recommend buying 4 of these if you are trying to create a surround sound system. This is a great center speaker but a bit much for the satellite speakers. In wall monitor or satellite speakers would be a better choice and value.

Not really. Great sounding speakers. But they are intended for reference monitors in studio situation. Smaller room.

These are not floorstanding speakers, they need to be at ear level. Otherwise, you will not properly hear the mids and highs

Kind of the beautiful thing about this chair is that the speakers aren't overly noticeable. The two speakers are located on either side of the chair high up by where your head would be. The subwoofer is directly behind your back giving you a nice deep bass. There is also a rumble thing down by your lower back.
