are these appropriate to use with a 5.1 sound system for home theater?

I've owned these for almost 4 years and they are more than appropriate for a 5.1 surround. I've used them in a 7.2 surround system as rear high, front high, side high, and rear low. they deliver man. Buy em. You won't regret it.

They are probably appropriate but are certainly do not deliver high fidelity sound

If you have a Surround receiver such as Yamaha that outputs simulated 5.1 to headphones yes but it depends on if your receiver supports surround soundstages to headphones.

They are fine if you have them on a computer desk, too short for anything else, that's my one gripe about this system and they use proprietary cables I have just bought the Harmon kardon sound sticks w woofer and they sound fantastic and give you plenty of cable

My room is 15 X 30 Feet, will these work well for home theatre use? I don't listen to music much

Absolutely. There might be an efficiency difference between the speakers, however, most 5.1 or 7.1 systems allow you to adjust the offset volume, which only needs to be completed once. If you are simply using these as a set of stereo speakers it want even matter. Also, your ohm rating is higher, not lower. While technically, the efficiency may be lower due to the higher ohms rating, there are so many other factors that this isn't even something to wotry about. Lastly, it would be if the ohm rating were going lower that you might need to start being concerned, however, 4 ohms and above, no. Sean

I don't use these speakers with a TV. I use them only for 2-channel stereo listening for which they were designed. You can listen to your TV with these in 2-channel stereo if you have an AV receiver. You would need a center channel and satellite surround speakers for 5.1 audio.

You could use these for your front L/R speakers. There's no way that I would use then from my rear or my surround speakers. They're too big for surround or rears. You didn't mention your receiver model. Of course, if it's only a 5.1 receiver, you still need to upgrade to a 7.1 receiver.

No....to have 5.1 you've got to have surround speakers..all you're doing is 2.1 which is ok...but you'll miss the gun shots, footsteps and most of all the fill in noise and center sound.....get some inexpensive ceiling speakers from amazon and use them for surround, works fine...just my opinion...hope it helps...

As long as you get the 1/4 inch adapter. Go for it, they sound great and are mad comfy.

The RCA plugs will allow you to use them with just about any sound system. These are powered, so you want to assure that you have a power supply near them by wall, stage, or extension cord. For a small venue, they will work very well. If you have loud amps or heavy drums behind you, the speakers might get lost. My experience with them has been home only but I was absolutely impressed with them, even at loud volumes. Good luck.

Certainly-depending on how critical or how much of an audiophile you are. That is what I use them for-music through a receiver. They are not of Klipsh quality, but are fine as far as I am concerned.

it will work CORRECTLY with any 5.1 surround system amplifier assuming you have a 5 speaker plus a subwoofer system. I can tell you it works great! worth the money.

Given these speakers smooth response, sensitivity they should do well in most 5.1 settings.

Much will depend upon the sound system / speakers / etc. your using. We use it through our 5.1 system at home and it sounds fine.

Any surround sound receiver will work with these speakers. I have a Panasonic 5.1 unit and they sound great

These speakers were designed for surround sound applications in a 5.1 or 7.1 system. Your subwoofer should handle all the really low frequencies. I am using mine for surround sound to cover chairs in the middle and chairs to the side. I had no place to mount them except two cabinets holding lamps. I had to raise them to be at ear level with another small speaker. As such with direct sound to each person's ear, they work about as good as possible. I tried putting them up over 6 feet on top of two cabinets, but they seemed washed out. Each installation needs some variation.

I believe you should be able to since the missing speakers between the 5.1 and the 7.1 are used for mid room surround, however with the whole system in I'm not sure if you'll be able to have just stereo sound coming from the remaining port. Its possible you'll end up with those speakers only playing the sound that would come through the two mid speakers in a 7.1 system.
