Have pc351 center. Should I match it with the P153 as both have 5.25 speakers or would it be better to go to the P163's?

If space is not a problem I would go with the 163's. As far as sound and quality you will not notice a difference even if you had both units . either one you chose, they are great speakers !

Depends on your system and sound you need. Are you lacking in bass ? If your room is small. 12 x12 you might be ok depending on your acoustics. If you want more bass and your amp can drive them, go for the 163. I enjoy the 153's and 143's however i have a polk powered sub and polk towers that push plenty of bass. The 153 is a good bookshelf speaker i use as my rear surrounds. The offer pretty good base. The 143 i use as side surrounds.

The pc351 is big with multiply drives and despite 5.25 speakers sound travels far.The p163s would match better because their sound would travel farther than the 152s.If you get the 163 you'll never wonder if you should have lol. I don't, I have the p153 but in use with a smaller 2 x 4" center.left a little wanting.

I don't have an answer to your specific question. I have had my speaker for about 18 months and like its tonality and volume. It seems to me it beams the music in a forward direction and the sound is less intense to the left or right of the speaker. However, I have the speaker in a large basement and a smaller room would likely have different acoustics.

Space and budget permissible, I would go with the P163's. I hate to strictly abide by "bigger is better" but often it is the case. That being said, I am still beyond thrilled with my P153's and am a bit sad that I didn't pick up more when I had the chance.

Well, speakers are the custom choice, you need to know what do you like and how they should sound...I'm using Polk Audio Monitor 200.

I do not have a P16. I do run different brands of in ears off the Aux outputs of the X32 including the brand and version you mentioned. The presonous does not compare to the x32 in my opinion.

Why match a powerful 12", 300W-460W subwoofer with a weak, small 4", 80W bookshelf speakers? Doesn't make sense. I'm getting the BIC FH-65B 6.5" 10W -175W, 96db speakers for my PSW505. If you're going to go cheap and stick with the SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones then you should get the PSW10 for half the price ($95) of the PSW505. They are a better power and price match.

Thanks you for the responses. I ended up buying a 2 channel amp to drive the 6x9's and a subwoofer to use with the PH1500M. It's a little more than I planned for, but I'm sure it will sound good.

All you need to do is go to the polk website and compare the specs. In my opinion I don't believe there is much if any of a sound difference between the two. At least that's how it looks on paper. I can't be 100% sure on that, as i haven't heard the C-15 for my self. As i stated in my review, the polk C-S 10 seems to blend in with my polk monitor 60 series II nicely, so that's all i was concerned about before i purchased the it. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

I gradually updated all my surround sound speakers to BIC and I am happy with them. In addition to the DV-32CLR center speaker, I have the DV62si for my front side speakers, DV32 for my rear speakers and a V80 subwoofer. A lot depends on your room size. Mine is 15x30 but really only use half of this for the entertainment area. Good luck.

Your center will add a little more fidelity to the sound but ultimately you will use the center in a 5 channel or higher setup for a better surround sound experience. These have a very natural sound but it's best to pair it with the matching satellites. Mix and match will normally either overpower or underpower in certain frequencies.

I have these speakers connected to the Harmon Kardon AVR 2650. I would say it's a middle of the road receiver, but performs very well. The type of AVR you go with will depend on what speaker setup you plan on (5.1, 7.1, 7.2, etc), so it's more of a personal preference. I also, have a pioneer that I've had since the early 2000s and have nothing but good to say about it even after all these years. I'm sorry if this wasn't too much help, but I don't want to give you a line of B.S. because I can only speak from my experience with my receivers. Good luck, and if you have anything else I can be of assistance with feel free to contact me again.Kind regards,Chris I have these speakers connected to the Harmon Kardon AVR 2650.

Everything matches up. All the speakers plug into the subwoofer then the lines from the sub go into your computer's 5.1 sound card. Remember its for a computer and is only accessible with the 5.1 sound card. Hope that helps

TP30 has 15+15W RMS output which is sufficient to drive medium-size bookshelf speaker or desktop monitors. For larger speakers, you will need higher sensitivity. I'd recommend a newer model Topping VX1 which has 25+25W and a 24 bit DAC. Best aspect of either unit is that in addition to USB you can plug in a line level input also.

I have these speakers and matching center speaker along with subwoofer DSW PRO 600. The center speaker is absolute must and I would recommend the subwoofer as well it makes a difference. I would also recommend rear speakers that compliment the system that I have and would not do without. For me the sound is excellent for music or movies.

I advise you go with the cs8060hd as a center with out a subwoofer line ,,as the subwoofer effect work with no line needed for the dialogue,,its one of the most amazing center speakers ive ever used.

David - if your main usage is TV or movies the center speaker is the most important, since it carries the main vocals. The size of your L and R mains won't really matter since they are mostly peripheral sound. Hope you have a sub-woofer, that will help with the overall surround system. I have greatly enjoyed the difference this BIC center has made. Enjoy!!

You don't have to. I actually used these as my rear surround and the TSi400's for the front and a cs-10 for the center. But I'm sure 4 of these and a sub would sound excellent. If you want the full "5.1" you'll need a center speaker. 5.1 = 5 (speakers) .1 (subwoofer) roughly

Robert,Do the math. 3/2.1 is 5.1. 3 refers to L/R/Center 2 refers to L/R surround and .1 is the sub.So the max of 3/4.1 you are seeing is the 7.1 surround.Relax and go enjoy a movie. I'm about to do the same. - Love the receiver BTW
