Would these be good speakers for a small room if used SOLELY for music in a 2-channel setup? Or are they really best used as rears in a 5.1 system?

Hi,I bought the Dayton Audio HTS-1200B home theater speaker set plus SAT-BK Satellite speaker pair to make them work with my ONKYO TN-XR626 7.2, all associated with a subwoofer Canton AS 85.2 Aktiver (200/250Watt, made in Germany). What I can say is that it makes the effect of a bomb. I am fully satisfied with these little speakers.

In my opinion these are best used as rears in a 5.1. Try the B652 or micca speakers for a cheap stereo set up.

From what I've read and personal experience, these speakers do not excel at bass output, but also depends on their location relative to the surrounding walls. They simply are not very large and they especially don't put out much bass if you have them on a bookshelf or other place where there is a wall directly behind them. It seems that they are designed to be able to put out some bass only if you have several inches or even a couple feet of open space behind them, so if they'll sound better sitting on the floor out in the open than on a bookshelf.

They will sound very good---not to expect the sound to fill a concert hall--using four of these for your channels will be fantastic--or a two channael receiver like you said "vintage"---I uses mine as rear speakers for my Onkyo.Hope this helps.

I think they are meant to be front speakers. That is where I have them in a fairly small room and they are excellent.Todd

I'm using these as fronts in a 5.1 set up. They are powered by a Harmon Kardon 1510 AVR, rated to oush 75w per. Believe m when I tell you that you will abslutely NOT be disappointed with these speakers as fronts. They will handle bass (tight and solid), midrange and highs (clarity and detail). They have a zobel crossover configuration in them so you can't go wrong. These are very good speakers, and will stand up to speakers costing more then twice as much. If you doubt, just youtube it for a user review.

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.

they would probably serve for a small space, I use mine for surround speakers and they work great for that.

depends. personally they do not throw enough power for the space I am in. But the space is huge & I AM using them as SECONDARY front speakers (for a total of 4) - so, they are a bit weak but if your space is small enough they should suffice for front speakers. Crisp sound, all "highs" but I'm sure your rear speakers and sub take care of the lows. Hope this helps.

Depending on what your other speakers are, I actually think they would be a pretty good speaker as a high or wide. The reason I said that it depends in your other speakers is because you typically want your speakers to be timbre matched, otherwise it does not sound quite right. I believe that these are timbre matched to the Polk tsi or monitor speaker series.

At this price point, I think that they sound great. Bass is pretty good considering the size, for example I use mine in my home office, and they provide good even sound throughout the small space. Would not recommend for a large room, but they are pretty flat eq wise. Perfect for listening to podcasts and such, but definitely not something that's going to blow you away as far as volume is concerned.

If you are using these speakers for rear surround sound, with the lower/bass frequencies sent to your subwoofer, you should not have a problem. If you are using them for stereo playback for full frequency music...just remember...what you hear on the room side of the speaker (woofer) is what you are going to hear on the backside. Depending on how loud you play them, it may pose a problem. Also, putting a layer of insulation on top of them in the ceiling, will NOT help much or if any.

They are the best possibility in a price-performance relation. They were not intended as a part of a surround system of any kind, just a pair of fair stereo speakers, but they perform excellent and their sound is superb. I would strongly recommend them for your TV sound system.

Yesss but you wont get the full surround sound without 5 speaker and a good receiver. These speakers can handle a lot of power and sound great .. I think you would be wasting your money for 2 speaker set up with these.

These speakers are not designed for your two main (front) speakers on your sound system, or home theater system (unless in a very small room, such as a dorm room, etc). These speakers are best used for your rear or side speakers in a surround sound setup. If you opt to use them as your main speakers, you could add a subwoofer directly to the receiver to give added bass output to the system. However, again, unless the room is small, these would not be the best choice for your 2 main speakers.

yes. and they would sound very good in stereo. your Yamaha has enough current power to drive them well and get the most out of them! later on they would do fine in a home th. setup. Im currently using them in a medium power 5-spk(4.1) 90 wpc stereo system. very happy with them.A bargain for quality recvd. Placement with these is NOT as critical as would be with less-defined speakers. i find 15' feet apart away from corners is good, but they have such a broad sound field adn wide dynamics its not critical as it would be with other designs. More flexible is good for now and the future.

they would certainly work fine. They are high quality speakers that work in any environment. I use them for monitoring music in a smaller studio space...but they are very powerful and have amplification built in.

These are great! Speakers, but they are not good for loud sound music. They are perfect for Home Theater Systems, but if you are gonna use the for. Your music just don't blast them, cause your receiver, may not can handle the power of your Speakers. I use my TSi-100 for only my Home Theater system
