I have the Q-3, and i love them, they are great speakers! Can I add 2 ceiling speakers to fully utilize my Yamaha RX-V675 (7.1) receiver. I am looking at the Yamaha 6 1/2 ceiling speakers.

I know of no reason you couldn't add the Yamaha speakers to your set up as long as the power and ohm ratings match those of the Klipsch speakers.

No....to have 5.1 you've got to have surround speakers..all you're doing is 2.1 which is ok...but you'll miss the gun shots, footsteps and most of all the fill in noise and center sound.....get some inexpensive ceiling speakers from amazon and use them for surround, works fine...just my opinion...hope it helps...

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.

With the system your planning to get above the pl-66 will blend nicely yes it would work awesome make sure when you place the 3 frond speakers left,center,right channel all tweeters are ear height the best and fastest way to do this is by getting a laser and throw a line horizontal accross for your surround speakers they need to be 2 feet down from ceiling sub woofer if possible in front and in the middle of the room if not you will need to do the crawl method to figure out with side will be best for the sub the right side or left side hope this help

I wanted my home office to have a sub woofer too. The X75 gave it an awful sound. My sub woofer in the office was a Yamaha. I took the MartinLogan Dynamo out of the living room and it still sounded awful. Now I use Monitor Audio CWT180 in ceiling speakers and they sound great using X75. Simple answer I could not bridge any of my subs.

personally i think (one) should have towers that go down to or close to 20Hz and no sub, or bookshelves (to save space) and a sub that goes down to about 20Hz. (Yamaha YST-SW315) i do not see what good big towers are for anymore if you are going to have a sub and then set your receiver to cut low frequencies to 80Hz and higher anyway? keep in mind humans are only supposed to be able to hear between 20Hz and 20Khz. and check your receiver for your cross over settings. mine for instance are 50, 80, 100, 150Hz. use that as a guide to how low you want your bookshelves to go. my books cut off at 50Hz, so i dont want to use the 50 (to not put too much of a load on my books thus making them better midranges. i can use 80 and 100 but not 150, because my sub stops at 140Hz. if your receiver has more and smaller increments for the cross over than mine you will have more options for your bookshelves. my polks (RTi4) go down to 50Hz and sound pretty good and deep at moderate volumes, about the same as the 12" towers they replaced.... but if you want to turn it up to "louder" volumes they become a bit more stressed, not as accurate and want to distort. which is why i got the sub. i got the books in the first place because i was getting sick of the amount of space the towers took up (4 - 12"woofers) the polk TSi200's look like the best "match" for the 'Polk Cs20 center', but the RTi4's are only missing a few less in lower freq. (which you might not need anyway due to the Xover thing) and has 1 5.25" 'driver' where the TSi has 2. the RTi4 is a little more than HALF the price of the TSi200's. ---also keep in mind among all these types of reviews, 'taste in sound' is subjective.---

I am not an audiophile. I did the search based on others reviews and price and my boyfriend did the install. We just have the pioneer vsx-1023 receiver and a polk audio subwoofer. Plenty of sound for the greatroom its in!! We also had to get j-box mounts for the speakers but other than wishing they could be a little bit smaller, they do a fantastic job and keep the sound focused in that area.

When I bought my original Onkyo TX-NR801, I paired it with a set of Polk RM-7200's and they were AMAZING... Would highly recommend Polk speakers...

These speakers are the best investment I've ever made. They work with any standard receiver, that specific one will work great with them. These speakers come color coated with everything you need to set them up and are very easy to figure out. Since it looks like a 7.2 surround sound(the 2 means it can support 2 subwoofers vs 1). You could even look into purchasing an extra subwoofer for more kick.

Hello out there!I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems with this Yamaha receiver RX-V665!!! My unit shuts off when I increase the volume and when I use the speaker optimizer. The manual and "Yamaha Live" techs attribute this to my speaker connections. I have checked and rechecked, cut, twisted and tightened my connections over the past 3 months with no results. My older JVC receiver runs my speakers just fine. I recently was sent a replacement receiver and the problem persists. Are these receivers useless??

I have the 7.2 system but did not elect to have 2 subwoofers although the room is 22'by 18' with 20' ceilings.I believe it would give you a full sound.u could just buy the single sub,try it out,then buy the second.

These are really good sounding speakers but beware of the 100 watt limit. I have a little bit larger family room than noted and really like to crank up the sound at times. I am using a Yamaha RX-475 which is 115 watts and I have now blown two of the satellite speakers and I have had to replaced them with Yamaha speakers that can handle the wattage. So make sure your receiver wattage does not exceed 100 watts!!!

GoldenEar Triton II speakers are awesome with my Onkyo TX-NX717 receiver. A bit pricey at 3000 for L/R 500 for Center and another 500 for back surrounds. But at this price point I do not think you will find a better option!

I bought a house recently with what appear to be Nxg NX-C60 80 W RMS Speakers in the ceiling. Would the Polk CS20 work well with those? I have a Dennon 1612 Receiver. Thanks for your input.

Definitely a better speaker than the Infinity and Klipsch. I would not but Klipsch because their speakers tend to miss out on mid-range. The Polks will work better with higher end receivers and will shine with separate amplifiers.

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!!!!

I would say YES. If I didn't already have "in-ceiling" rear speakers when we moved in to this house, I would have put these in place of those. Especially with the multi directional...this will ROCK for Rear in-ceiling.
