are these too much for the high speakers and wide speakers for the onkyo nr809

These speakers are perfect for your system . speakers have 150 watts each per chanel , yes they really work good for surround , high or wide and have great sound .

Harold, having owned several brands of theatre and receivers I would say their are three things u should pay attention to. First is a good clean power source (pay no attention number games), second is to timbre match (wich is basically the speakers will all sound the same given the same tone), and third is you're center channel, it does the majority of the work during a movie so don't cheap out. FYI I have RTI series front stage and cs20 center, coupled with owns for rears.

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.

I have these speakers for my back surround sound speakers. They sound great with my denon 1312 receiver.

I love them. They are my front speakers (left and right) for a 7.2 set up. Used satellites for the others. If I could do it all over I would have used these for all 7. Great base and highs for the price.

If it's bass you want, theses are NOT the way to go. They are ok for maybe 7.1 surround but I would not use them as your main rear speakers.

Not a problem! These speakers can be easily over driven with a clean signal.I had them on a Sony 4 channel x 50 watt rms head unit with no issues as they are a 70 watt rmv speaker. I then added a kenwood 300 watt per channel rmv amp and again, no problems or even any significant distortion. They blow away any coaxial or triax type speakers I have ever heard. ENJOY!!!!

Yes they do and very well. This combo can embarrass far more pricey kit if you give the speakers some air - say 2 feet from the rear wall. And the stands cannot be too high - about 22 inches high is good. You will want some high quality speaker cables. The airplay sounds better if you run ethernet cable directly to the NAD from the router, btw.

They fill the room equally, I am very contented with the purchase. Sound much better with much pricier Bose or other systems. I have paired them with an Onkyo receiver and bi-amped them. I dont know your application but I dont think you have to be right in front of the speakers to experience great sounds quality.

They are designed to be surrounds. If you are looking for something from klipsch around the same price point look at the b-10. They are also synergy series

This should work. My stands are in storage, and have been there for a while so I can't remember perfectly. The way I remember my old Onkyo speakers (which looked similar to the RM85) was that the stands came with a plate which allowed me to screw some mounting holes in the back of my speakers. I can't find any pictures of the back of the RM85's to be sure its the same deal, but according to the spec sheet on Polk's website, it should work. You may even have two options, standing them on the mounts, or screwing them to the back.

I have Boston Acoustic speakers with the universal mounts that I believe Onkyo also uses. They work fine, and are quite good for the price.

If you're not looking to mount them too high off the ground these stand should do you just fine. My speakers are pretty heavy for unpowered ones and the were fine. So all depends in your usage situation if you want them at maximum height in the middle of an open stage, where there is wind, maybe a bad buy, otherwise I'm extremely happy with them for the price I paid.

They are quite a bit deeper that standard speakers of the same size. I would say yes, but with a spacer.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I mounted my Onkyo speakers with the supplied double-sided sticky, and they have not budged. You can see when I posted my review. They are still in next-to-new condition.
1593177
Absolutely yes. Cable comes in from the side and you can stack more then one plug on top of each other.As far as other answer that mentioned spacing of the pins, I heard that they are not compatible with all devices so you have to check spacing between pins. They fit Polk Audio speakers and Onkyo receiver perfectly in my case.

I once did this, with a high end onkyo receiver, but I built the cabinets for bass, and with proper baffling. You can do it, dont clip the amp, youll damage the speakers.

I have an Onkyo receiver and I did. They a very nicely made speakers with great sound. Very well made. Heavy!! Not some chintsy crap!!!

If you have a good Quality surround receiver(Yamaha, Marantz, Onkyo ETC.), go ahead and use them with the receiver. It is designed to have a nice set of fronts. JIm
