I am looking at these to be my left, right, center, and rear surrounds. Will these be adequet for that? I already have a sub from BIC.

This is an excellent choice for a center channel. As surrounds BIC has many other choices. I believe this speaker would not be adequate for surround duties as it is not only quite large but rather bright from a high frequency standpoint.

I don't know if using a center channel speaker as left and right fronts will work well. The bic pl 28th is an awesome center that has a certain frequency range that differs from the fronts. Have you thought about klipsch for your fronts?

Yes, it would be a good match. You hear much more out of a center speaker versus surround speakers so going high quality makes sense (I consider this a high quality center speaker). If you're wondering about balance, the receiver you have should be able to handle it just fine.

They wouldn't be my first choice as they are a little on the small side for front mains. They will work okay, just don't expect huge sound from them. If you have a sub, these should work fine, but if not, I would look for something bigger.

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.

They'll work great for front and rears. I personally wouldn't use them on the center channel. The center channel is your primary channel for tv and movies and would need to be more rigorous. Theater Solutions also makes a center channel speaker.

Should work well for front, side and rear speakers. Match up with a nice center.

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

If you are using these mounts for surround speakers I recommend using speakers that have the same ohm rating as your main and center speakers. I started with a Denon receiver with Sony SSF-7000s as my main speakers. I had a small center and two small surrounds and the sound was just ok, but once I added a matching center Sony SSF-5000 (hard to find now) and two Sony SS-B1000s as surrounds the sound was great! The surrounds were too big for my existing mounts so I purchased the larger VideoSecu mounts. At first the surrounds and mounts seemed quite large and a bit industrial looking but I have gotten used to them and they sound great.

yes. you should be able to make a direct replacement. they sound very natural and balanced and have even improved over time. i have them in my 7.1 surround system and just took my previous speakers and put them on the wall over the tv and put these as the main front speakers on either side of the center speaker and it sounds great. they have plenty of timber but aren't bass heavy which is perfect for a media system since you have the subwoofer.

hi chad, i ordered a complete set of bic acoustech speakers and enjoy the towers, center channel and the pl-66 rear surround. the sound is excellent if u have the right receiver to push every speaker.

they sound very clear, it just depends on what you are using them for and what type of system you have? I chose them as L/R front and rears and got a speakercraft AIM8-3 for center channel in my surround system. But if your just using them for music they will work great!

What exactly is your question? I have a pair of these as rear surround mounted on the ceiling behind a couple of theater seats...they sound awesome..but i have a sub hooked up...ok from previous answers i gather you want to use them as rear speakers..not good idea..they are mainly surround speakers, so not very good bass response.

If you are using them for your rear speakers, they will be just fine with your system. We have about same set up and they work very nice.

Yes. They will work very well. This subwoofer is absolutely amazing. You will not be disappointed.

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 would stick to using them on the sides or in the rear. I have mine as the rear speakers and they work great. I have a 7.1 system but these are wired as the side speakers and the side speakers wired as the rear. I did this because for some reason when they were wired as the rear speakers the volume was quite low compared to the sides. Now the side speakers (wired as the rear) just fill in the gap between front and rear because of the lower volume. Most shows play in 5.X anyways so it sounds great.

Yes. I use them as my front right and left because my other speakers are the smaller quintets which are now my surrounds.
