should I stick with Studio series for my surrounds or can you mix ES series with them?

I think the ES series would work well with the studio series, especially when using for surrounds. I am currently using the ES10BK for my surrounds and am very satisfied. The highs are very clear and sound great for home theater use or music.

I use the Infinity Primus series. I have the c351 center speaker, the p163 floor standing for fronts, the p153 for book shelves. I have a 7.1 system, I still use my onkyo speakers for surround, and the onkyo for base. I will soon be purchasing the Infinity base, and the p143 for surround. The Infinity series are by far the best, I have tried Polk,and Klipsch,they don

Can it, yes. The real question is, should it. What is the rest of the system and what is your overall goal. I have discovered that mixing speaker (especially across the front) can cause issues. I am using Polk Rti's across the front and staging is seamless. When I had the CS20 between the RtiA9's, the center was noticeably brighter compared the left and right.

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

I am uncertain, but I am using the RF42 II center in my own arrangement as a "mixed " sound system. I have old NOVA 9 from the 1970s Main L/R with the this RC42II center, driven by Denon AVR-E400. I added RF42 Floor stands for Surround L/R after getting Center. The blend is satisfying with old and new working great together. I believe the Receiver is the Key on this arrangement. I love the Center, It just fit my cabinet and Voice clarity is great for its size.

I wish that I could help you out. I'm using the speaker's from the home theater system that I already had hooked up. There are 100watt wall and ceiling shelve size speaker's. I do believe that the speaker's you do use, will have to be speaker's for surround,(FL>Center>FR>RL>RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL>SR). If you use just any kind of speaker's, like for stereo. Then you wont get the separation, any true affect of surround sound. I wish that I could help you out more, and hope that this will help you some what. Nick I wish that I could help you out.

Yes ---- This is NOT recommended as it would upset the built in arrangement. For best results use it as received. You will be surprised at the surround sound you will gwet. GOOD LUCK

I have Acoustimass 3 Series in a small room 9X9 FL room and it is fine, I have a set of 5 Series and I had to put powered woofer at my 14X14 room, so my answer is: I is good an a small room plenty in the 3 Series.

You would have to know the diameter of the existing surrounds. For what it's worth, I used these to give new life to my Infinity Reference Two speakers. I was definately worth the cost and effort.

Yes you need the surrounds.With the surrounds the top works beautifully and is well worth it.Super tight fit and easy.Make sure top is at room temp or it is warm out,in garage etc.before install.

You have to manually set what surround setting you want, it does not automatically detect it. I think that's what you were asking and I hope it helps.

I think my surrounds sound just as good as my rf-42s. I personally think tower speakers just look good on both sides of your tv.

I cannot say for sure, but I use a Bose Acoustimass with our Marantz. I just don't know about versions. Ours is at least 20 years old so I just can't verify it is the same architecture as the series you referenced.

One should be just fine. Having two doesn't have much stereo field, and the Mixcube is more for checking mono compatibility and balance.

Surround Back (Left and Right) can be assigned to a separate zone. So if you want a 5.1 and a 2.0 system, the answer is "Yes". If you want a 5.1 and a 2.1 playing different things, I'm not so sure.

You don't have to. I actually used these as my rear surround and the TSi400's for the front and a cs-10 for the center. But I'm sure 4 of these and a sub would sound excellent. If you want the full "5.1" you'll need a center speaker. 5.1 = 5 (speakers) .1 (subwoofer) roughly

Hi, I wouldnt recommend these speakers as I found them por quality.Bit if you decide todo buy them and want to conect them together you dont need a mixer. There is an output todo conect the second speaker in cascade. However if you need todo mix your audio before send it to the speakers, you need to specify your aplication...
