Well after much debate and searching for the best price, I finally pulled the trigger on the Elite VSX-21TXH. Found a deal on Ebay that was just too good to pass up ($510 shipped). And since the VSX-1019 was similarly priced, it was an easy decision to go with the 21TXH. BTW, both the 1019 and the 9040 are both still right around the $500 mark. I'm certain I'll be happy with performance of this elite AVR. =)

Hello... When matching speakers you want to get the specs close. Klipsch F-20, very nice speaker by the way. Frequency Response 38Hz-23KHz 3dB SENSITIVITY: 95.5dB @ 2.83V / 1m Polk Audio CS10 Center Frequency Response 53Hz-25kHz SENSITIVITY 91 dB The Klipsch will be a little louder then the Polk with a little wider frequency response. Your Yamaha receiver can adjust the center channels out put to blend in the center a little more so you can hear it. Also you want to look at the RMS watts. Polk is 125watts RMS. Klipsch is only 100watts RMS. Yamaha RX-V375 AV is 100watts per channel, 70watts RMS x 2 channel. So the out come, you should be fine. your mids and highs will be better with the Klipsch towers. You will have a little more lows from the Polk, but that could make the vocals from the center channel sound more natural. Also your receiver can adjust if you use the microphone to self adjust instead of doing it by ear. It will be fine.. Should sound good and I think you would be happy..

I am not an audiophile. I did the search based on others reviews and price and my boyfriend did the install. We just have the pioneer vsx-1023 receiver and a polk audio subwoofer. Plenty of sound for the greatroom its in!! We also had to get j-box mounts for the speakers but other than wishing they could be a little bit smaller, they do a fantastic job and keep the sound focused in that area.

I looked up the tuner and i can say it would be perfect match my friend, because the tuner is the right amount of watts 80 watts just get a 12 inch woofer at least ok because the speakers do sound good but really would sound better with a bigger sub, please you have to make sure you separate the sound good, i sold them ASAP because my tuner was at 120 watts per channel way too many, they feel cheap but much better them a lot of speaker i have owned, if you want a very good sounding speaker take your time and by piece by piece polk you can buy on ebay but go with polk.com and down on the right click on polk ebay and get the refurbished- they are good as new trust me i have the TSI300 & Monitor 50s like new you cant tell- so take your time man trust me with the Onkyo will sound so good it would blow you away, if you have any other Q.A please email me bro?

I would suggest 2 way Mackies. They run for a couple hundred dollars online. Any speakers are good but those are some great ones if you're on a budget.

Thanks Ben. I don't know too much about speakers so I appreciate your input. I have this TV and I can tell you that there are two separate sets of cables, as you anticipated for the R & L speaker..I guess I should think about 6.1 or just get a separate center speaker. On the other hand, could you let me know if, when reading the manual, you saw anything about setting it up through the on screen menu? Some TVs can simply set the TV speaker output to center speaker..Thanks!

go to edesignaudio.com, and dont be fooled by the prices, these speakers are for real, especially the 6t6 towers....and by the way, they have a package builder where you can build any size package you want, and if you use this feature, its 15 percent off, oh and free shipping for almost everything

I put a Pioneer Elite vsx-33 in my cart and just waited, the price dropped on this reciever from 700.00 to 500.00 - because one dealer was blowing out his last 6 units to make way for new models - I couldnt be more pleased - and these speakers sound great - I don't believe there is a nickels worth of difference between these and the tsi500's - and at 400.00 for a pair - WOW! I am currently getting ready to replace my surrounds and center to this same type speaker... K

You can buy kits but a good center Chanel and similar bookshelf fronts will give best results. A powered sub is recommended especially if you want to watch action movies . Most people say surrounds should be same brand as well but I don't think needs to be. I like my monoprice in ceiling for surrounds. Check out energy or klipsh speakers. If really budget monoprice has all 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?

Go for the 8060 Center. Just hook it up like your normally would and then set your center channel to large in your receiver's set up. If you can set the crossover point on your center channel, try 50hz or 60hz. It will sound great without having to run another subwoofer cable.

You can go for the Polk Audio TRiA Series because you could take advantage of its Bi-Amp feature. I personally use a pair of Floorstanding speakers, but the RTiAs are rock-solid!!

I use a pair of the 62si's with the 32CLR as center and would recommend the setup. However, if you're not budget constrained and like to listen to loud music, you might want to consider something bigger like the DV64's.

these would be an excellent choice but add a good dt center speaker would really make your set up complete

With that kind of budget constraits right now start with 2.0 or 2.1 setup then upgrade to 5.1 http://www.reddit.com/r/Zeos/comments/2dk676/guide_stereo_20_21_systems/. Follow that link to a guide that should help you get started. http://www.reddit.com/r/Zeos/comments/23d9ny/how_to_buildup_a_20_to_a_51_surround_sound_april/ this one is about turing a low cost 2.0 or 2.1 system into a 5.1 or 7.1. If you confused by the numbers the first number represents how many speakers and the .1 is for the sub. So 2.1 is 2 speakers and a sub. 5.1 is five speakers and a sub.

I like Bang and Olufsen but they are very expensive. I would say look into yamaha speakers and try to get high power speakers to handle this receiver. The receiver has a lot of power. thanks
