How good would these be in an entry level, dedicated HT room if they were one of the last components to get upgraded?

I purchased mine to replace a pair of Bose 301's being used as rear surround speakers. I'm pleased as I think that the XLBP's sound significantly better and a good addition to my "sound room".

Absolutely. You might even find yourself not bothering to upgrade them. The sound very nice and the rest of my system is Axiom Audio with an SVS sub. I see no point in replacing them at this point as they sound great and similar Axioms would cost considerably more.

I am no audiophile,but My 60LG7400 and my Grandson's 47LG4700 sound pretty good. It's No Bose, but at the present I see no reason to put one in. If you're capable of doing the install yourself, I'd recommend a wait & see approach like I used. I may decide to put an AV amp in someday, but that would be more for true surround and features like adding more inputs than sound quality (3 HDMIs don't really meet my 'needs')

I'm very pleased with the full range of these speakers. They cannot compete with a dedicated sub on the low end but do a fine job on their own. I have a 5.1 home theatre that's not comparable (apples & oranges); I'm using these strictly for music in the dining/kitchen area.

It really depends on prefernce. 75t will be louder and sound good in a big space If u have the right power for them. I have the 75ts and love em

They're not bad. I definitely got better temps out of my old antec 900 though.

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.

The built in subwoofer in the speakers are solid. If i am not mistaken, i picked up the 8060 center, which also has the subwoofer. At any rate, the built in subwoofers are more than enough.

Yes, quite well! I have the Bic tower speakers DV64, which look to have the same efficiency, and they sound quite excellent with my $80 Fiio A1 and $100 Topping TP30. Although rated at 14 x 2 and 15 x 2 watts, I've read they're realistically more like 7-10 x 2 watts (8 ohms). While they may not be able to rock out to party levels, they can go loud and sound superb without clipping. I later upgraded to the the $200 Audioengine N22 desktop amp, rated at 22 x 2 watts. That's still modest, but it goes all the louder and sounds quite elegant. I would recommend all 3 of these amps for Bic's efficient speakers. Yes, quite well!

Yes, power handling good, highs and midrange good considering price of speakers.

The low end is great on these , if you need to focus on very low end frequencies you might add the HS10W sub.

Give us a price range. <<<very importantI'd start by getting the Onkyo TX-SR606 and then deciding how much you have left for speakers. Focus on a strong 3.1 set and if you have extra get the surrounds.

It could definitely use them without a problem? What makes you so interested in this specific mobo?

It will be enough, bigger would be better but they sound great if even not optimized. Good speakers for the low price.

If I'm not mistaken, these were designed for Home Theater. But, I find them quite musical. They will make your ears bleed, but not in a harsh, fatiguing way. Although, I haven't used them for HT, I can only imagine the transient response for these would be ideal for high frequency, super dynamic scenes of a movie. Of course a sub would be needed to fill in the 20-40Hz area.

I am currently using it in a 2.0 setup. A very nice menu makes it easy for initial setup. This powers a pair of definitive mythos towers nicely. Also, the 4k pass through will be valuable in the future as well as the current pass thru without the amp even powered up if you just want to use your TV speakers late at night. Can't help you with the cutoff though... Not sure of all the preamp outs except the sub. This is prosumer level... The manual should specify.

I've been quite pleased with mine. I generally keep the gain pretty low, especially when listening to music because it tends to rattle things in our kitchen cabinets. It doesn't hit like my old Cerwin Vega 15s. But it's much more well rounded for multipurpose home theatre, and takes up a lot less space.

I chose the HTI fronts and HTI center and 7 years later they still ROCK MY HOUSE!!! If you can, get the matching ceiling ones too for the 7.1 complete sound system like I did
