Using two of these with Onkyo HT-R2295 reciever for listening music. Would you recommend to buy sub and two more speakers for 5.1 setup?

Only if you want terrific sound. I have different settings on my Sony receiver, anddepending on your source of music(pandora, streaming, or Bluetooth, some only use lpcm frequencies. So some music sounds better with a 5.1 setting, while other formats sound richer with 2.1 which sends an LFE (low frequency signal to Sub. Its about preference. But with these speakers I never overwork my amp and get plenty of volume without distortion. The center channel speaker is also awesome. Cheapest price is amazon. Might have to wait a few days/5...youll be glad you did.

You will need a center channel speaker, a subwoofer, and 2- more of these and you will be set. I have the Andrew Jones Center and Sub and love them! Good luck.

Simply adding two more speakers to your system does not make it a 7.1. You risk burning up the amplifier by having speakers with mismatched impendences. Upgrading your speakers is great but speaker impedances have to match and your amp has to say it can handle that load. Far more bad scenarios then good for what you are looking to do.

GoldenEar Triton II speakers are awesome with my Onkyo TX-NX717 receiver. A bit pricey at 3000 for L/R 500 for Center and another 500 for back surrounds. But at this price point I do not think you will find a better option!

I have a Denon receiver with sub out and Red and White into the back of my Klipsch sub-woofer and this worked out just right for me. The one-out /two-in hookup is what you need.

I haven't really used 5.1 surround, but I think for the jacks that supply sub, left surround right s, center, right and left front spekers you need to put a stereo splitter on the three jacks on the card. I'm not for sure but I know each of the three jacks supply two of the audio, that's all I know about surround. U might want to read the manual about which jack does what

There are a lot of nice receivers out there. I would get something to handle the wattage and the 7.1 to really enjoy the sound quality. I think as far as brands go it's what you like. I wouldn't go cheap, you just got some great speakers. I would look for something to enhance them. Make sure you get a receiver compatible with your speakers, wiring and so on. Check out the Leviton JBL site...that's what I did.

2 identical subs will always be better than one - at evening out the bass sound at multiple listening positions throughout the room. IMO however, the Sonos Sub by itself is plenty for a small to medium sized room.

Just speakers and a sub.. Decent set for 5.1 sound for movies and tv but not exactly made for music. Solid value for the price and a decent 5.1 receiver can be found for cheap if you wait for the right sale. Best of luck

I've got the FT-6T pair with my Yamaha receiver and use it for both music and movies and once in a while with my PS3 for gaming. I would say that these speakers are great for music first and second movies/gaming. Then again it also depends on what type of receiver you have and how it drives these speakers.

Yes, I do the same thing running 2 sets of speakers on the "B" Channel and 1 set on the "A" channel. Shouldn't matter what brand of receiver.

Personally I reccomend purchasing the 2 play 1 speakers, then the subwoofer. I hope this helps

I don't notice a difference between using 1 or 2 RCA cables. The subwoofer works just fine with one input

I have an SVS sub paired with mine. I use them primarily for home theater, but I listen to music as well. They sound really good together. I've never really used the speakers alone. I do not think it's too much bass. If so, you could always dial down your sub a bit.

Of course it also depends on the source material and your speakers, but assuming your source music and downstream speakers are good, the receiver is powerful enough to produce pretty stong bass from a pair of decent speakers. The onboard EQ is also quite responsive. Also, since it has a subwoofer out connector, you can pretty much add any powered subwoofer you like. Overall I personally am very pleased with this receiver.

Right now I am using a Pioneer VSX-1120 that powers all my speakers,I am running the JBL in front,bose center, and sony front ,side and rear a total of 9. I also have run my Onkyo TRSX-705 . I did like the Onkyo but it is only a 7-1 hookup THX. I will probably be selling that one due to I have a RCA to. The JBL'S are good for Bi-amp.They sound real good with plenty of base for the action movies or listening to music. Let me know if you need any more advice. Remember to use a heavy gauge wire.

James, not familiar w/ that reciever, the onkyo speakers probably would work well with your reciever, great speakers.

Hey Slater, I pretty much have the same setup you just described, got the Son STRDG 720 last week and just purchased these speakers today. Which speakers do you think would be a good purchase to convert this system into 7.1? I have two large polk bookshelves at home although they are a bit old, what do you think?
