Anyone using these as front left and right speakers in a home theater? How do they sound?

Yes, I use these as front left and right speakers in a home theater. They are really good speakers. They are very clear and loud. Good range of sound...highs, lows, mids. I also have bic center speaker and smaller surrounds. You get a lot for the money with bic. I highly recommend them.

I use these as my left and right speakers in a surround sound system. I am no audio technician by any standard but it takes a little while for the speakers to "loosen up" to reproduce good sound ranges. Once they are broken in, about a week or so, they have very good midrange and acceptable high-end response. Bass is a little weak on these, but if you are using it in a home theater your subwoofer will take up the slack on that. that being said, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase them again, they are very good speakers for the price.

I use them as both front L + R, and rear, with the matching BIC center and sub. Truly wonderful sounding home heater. Actually, far better sound than real theaters.So good in fact, that they are even very decent music speakers, with the sub, and a bit of EQing. Not B&Ws;, but very nice.

I use four of these as my front and rear channels in my home theater system, and a BIC DV52CLR-B for my center channel. Couldn't be happier for the price.

These are all I use for home theater and music.. They sound great, as in my review, they are bass shy but put them on my wooden floor and they sound great. very direct sound that lets you know exactly what is going on in your movie or music.

I am using them and I personally think they sound great. Loud, powerful, and I truly believe it made a difference to my movie viewing experience. I ended up buying the BIC center channel as well. Be aware that the center channel is bigger than these side ones but I think it was well worth it.

really good bass for bookshelves, treble can be a bit harsh so i turn treble down a bit, otherwise good for the money

They will sound very good---not to expect the sound to fill a concert hall--using four of these for your channels will be fantastic--or a two channael receiver like you said "vintage"---I uses mine as rear speakers for my Onkyo.Hope this helps.

The speakers are designed to diffuse the sound as rear speakers for occasional music and movie sound effects. I would therefore not recommend them as front speakers as they won't have the focus that front speakers should have that allows you to pinpoint musical instruments and other movie sounds.

Thanks for the response. I can't find the same speakers from anyone and the one set I found were $105/pair used! I may end up with these from what I can tell. These are bookshelf speakers for use here in my basement.

Depending on what your other speakers are, I actually think they would be a pretty good speaker as a high or wide. The reason I said that it depends in your other speakers is because you typically want your speakers to be timbre matched, otherwise it does not sound quite right. I believe that these are timbre matched to the Polk tsi or monitor speaker series.

I just bought the x's for my HT front setup with the matching center. They sound great with both movies/TV and music. I do have a sub paired with these guys but most HT setups will anymore. I'm very pleased with the way this turned out...FYI the center is nice too.

I think they would work fine as front surround speakers, as they have very good response as rear surrounds.

I'm using these in a 7.2 surround setup, with my Pioneer 1123k. Just ordered 2 more for back surround, 9.2. @ 94db they should be able to handle your audio needs. They have crisp and clear highs, and mid range. The are not bassy, I use my subs for that. Just watched Captain America bluray, sound was great. Previous setup was Bose. The Bose had a tighter sound, but only 87db, I am hearing more with 94db. Yea I would EQ the bass down for these.

Yes they are. However, if you expect home theater quality, you will not be satisfied. I am content with the speakers.

I think they sound real good and look real good. The jack is kind of loose though so you have to twist it around sometimes to get both speakers working. I don't know if that's just mine, though.

That's how I'm using them and I'm quite satisfied. I used an OSD Audio Kevlar Series Home Theater In-Wall Center Channel Speaker I got on Amazon for 100.00 and I'm very happy with it

I have no problems at all with these speakers. Make sure you get the polarity correct or you'll lose your bass response.

Sure! I use these as my front speakers (left and right) and they work very well for a theater setup. As a rear speaker they should do just fine.

I am still useing the stock radio just replaced my door speakers with Kenwood KFC 1664s and rear 5.25 speakers with Kenwood Kenwood KFC 1354s am I love them for the sound and how cheap and easy they were to install . Whatever you get I would not get anything more than a 3way speaker front or rear you will notice a loss of base if you do,,unless you install a subwoofer which is a whole other ordeal altogether.

They fill the room equally, I am very contented with the purchase. Sound much better with much pricier Bose or other systems. I have paired them with an Onkyo receiver and bi-amped them. I dont know your application but I dont think you have to be right in front of the speakers to experience great sounds quality.

I'm only using them as left/right speakers. I guess it would depend if they're wall mounted or would you be using the stand. Mine are wall mounted and I wouldn't want the center speaker to stick out any further than the left/right speakers...or even the TV. I would check the depth of the Motion 6/8 to gauge how much deeper they are than the slms...you're gonna get great sound with either...now it's just a matter of appearance...hope this helps.

These indeed can be used as left and right channel speakers. They are NOT bluetooth speakers.
