Will a pair of these, a sub, center speaker, and two ES10's suffice for a sound system in a large room but relatively small viewing/listening area?

I using in my home office which is a small room but I think large room would be better.

Yes. With a very clean amp. I use a Pioneer Elite THX certified receiver, mod. VSX-09TX. The JBL's sound sweet and are very happy.

I use mine as a center channel speaker with mixed bag surround system. It would be best to use some type of amp.

Undestood. In that case if you have space If I were you I would put the L820 on the surround back and the 810 on the surround left and the surround right, by the way I could change the LC1 for a LC2 (Remmember that the center speaker manage aprox 50% or so of the sound, worth it) and for the subwoofer Cerwin Vega XLS 12S

The horizontal dispersion of these is incredibly wide, but the vertical dispersion is much narrower - assuming 6' listening distance and the speakers sitting flat, you would start losing top end about 4' above the tweeters. This could be solved with some mopads or similar with an upward tilt though. As for filling a 10' x 10' room with sound, it will, but with nowhere near the bass impact they have in near-field. I use a pair of these for outdoor listening at low-moderate levels, and add 12dB of EQ below 110Hz, with a 30Hz 24dB/octave high pass filter, and they sound like much bigger speakers than they really are, but with the level of EQ applied obviously can't be pushed hard. In a room with careful placement to optimize bottom end, you could probably get away with 3-6dB of boost in the bottom end to get them filling the room. That said, adding the LSR310S would be the best solution for room filling sound with these monitors...

For a soundbar with the speakers of such small size, the low end response is very good-particularly for apartment living. However, ML does make a subwoofer that could accompany this. For louder or more demanding music or movie listening, a good subwoofer (there are many that would be computable) would be a welcome addition.

I got a subwoofer and center speaker also. I would recommend a subwoofer. It helps a lot. I think the speakers sound too shrilly though. It's good for home theater but not accurate for classical music.

Well, if you can find two bookshelves with as good of speakers as this (in which case it would cost more) and can find some way to run the same amount of power to both of them (since you only have one center speaker outlet) you can do it, but I can just about guarantee it won't sound as good and during movies and such about 80% of the sound comes through center speaker so they are very important.

I am quite certain that a small room could handle the speakers. They perform well at low volume for my stereo speakers on my entertainment system. I am using them like bookshelf speakers. You certainly could use smaller speakers in a room that size.

These are specifically made for high end home theatre in the compact category and I am very happy with them. I have three mounted on the wall with my tv as a pair of fronts and centre channel. But you will also need a sub (Dynamo 700) and a different pair of rears (motion2s). Once set up and broken in, it sounds amazing!!!

It seems that you have a big room, if you have the monitor 70 in the front the monitor 40 would be ok for the surrounds. My room is 10' x 12' and I have the monitor 40 in the front and they sound great.

I have a 15 x 20 foot room w/ a Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Monitor Series Powered Subwoofer. Bass sounds great.

These speakers have a great frequency range. They should do ok. To get strong midrange, you really need multiple small woofers(like these) I would suggest using this pair in conjunction with your current pair to get a stronger midrange frequency boost. Especially with a "very strong sub". Or purchasing towers with multiple small drivers. Just a suggestion. On a side note, speaker position in relation to seating position is very important, more so for 2 channel listening. Room acoustics are also a huge factor. Perhaps repositioning your speakers would help with this issue? Food for thought.... Happy listening ☺ These speakers have a great frequency range. They should do ok.

If space is an issue, then yes. They will be great floor monitors and beats moving around a big PA system.

Two subs is definitely not a waste of money depending on your room. If you have nulls and voids a dual sub setup could help fix that.

If you're asking if these subs will fill a room with sound then the answer is yes!! they will work best in a small to medium size room..Not sure of "continuos power. look up "specs". You won't need to turn the volume up on these past halfway!!

It depends on definition of good. I would not use any satellite system in a 20x20 room. I would recommend a floor standing speakers paired with bookshelf speakers as the ideal solution.

There is not a huge space between the smaller speakers. You can always splice yourself if not far enough for your taste
