can they be used as L/R front speaker in 7.1 with TL2 being satellite?

I don't see why not. I use them as my rears in a 5.1 and plan to transition them to my side speakers once I install another pair of speaker for rears to complete a 7.1 system. They might not have as much power as you would want for front speakers but that all depends on room size and your taste.

I would not do that, these speakers are unable to deliver any form of dynamic sound.

Ideally all front speakers, Left, Center, Right should be the same for optimal performance. Using the OWM3 as left/right main would work, and probably sound OK. I disagree with a previous comment on deficient bass response, as the very low frequencies would be handled by the sub/LFE channel with a powered sub. I would select "small speakers" on your 7.1 reciever for the front speakers when setting up your system- this will send all lower frequencies(>120hz) to the sub channel.

You can easily hook these up to a Logitech 2.1 computer speaker setup and replace the mains. But you do need to make sure that they arent the hardwired type and can accommodate a speaker wire input. Also that the power output of the system is at least as high as the nominal power required by the Polks. I'm doing just this very thing, replacing the two main front speakers with the Polks on a Logitech z5500 system. Already replaced the rears with little Bose cubes.

Instead of rear speakers you can use those ports to set up 3D sound. It's basically 5.1 sound with the two extra speaker connections ( which would complete 7.1) providing vertical differentiation instead of the rear speaker config. This can be configured in your receiver.

No, these are designed to be mounted t your sides to provide an imursive surround stage. Using them as front speakers would provide a muddy, non directional, surround expreiace.

Should work out fine. The speakers may not be "voiced" exactly the same however but I use Klipsch for my L&R; and Center and even though they are perfectly "Matched" according to Klipsch, you can always tell a slight tonal difference between the L&R; speakers and the RC-62. NO big deal! Go for it!

doubt it as satelites are wired into the system, alhough you can try by adding your new tweeters by splicing the wires. Great sound with speakers provided.

yes. I am usuing them with a pioneer vsx82 as rear speakers they work very well as main speakers as well.

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.

Bear, These do not send sound straight at you so they normally would not be the best choice as your front speakers. Eric C

Try with Peerless, those have a strong built and are universal, you can hide the cables inside main leg. I have a pair for years now, and I have use them with several satellites speakers and have worked with all of them.

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?

I've got it hooked up in a 7.1 configuration using existing rears as back surround. If you use the right terminals on the speaker, it will combine drivers for you to set it up the way you need to- using existing surrounds.

I really don`t know, not ever having the tl350 speakers...i really like my speakers though, bill

The Reason behind the SLM's is for the Flat appearance. They sound excellent for LRC. Obviously if you don't care about the slim aspect of the speakers, look for a tower type set-up. For being ultra-slim, these speakers can't be beat for the sound they produce.

No, you want your front speakers to be your ear level, same with center. I just installed these as a 7.1 set up. 4 in ceiling and the rest are up front on entertainment center. Think about your voice sounds coming from the top up in the ceiling, not nice.

Don't know of any reason why they would not work. You will still be a couple of speakers short if you a filling out the 7 maximum, plus the woofer. I satisfied with mine for a few months now.

I have them as my sides and rears in a 7.1 system, paired with the rest of the jbl ES line. The are excellent. I used to have def tech omni polar surrounds. These crush them.
