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 would recommend the PL-66 for the speakers behind you as they are the least used. However I might recommend a 5.1 setup without two rear speakers if you prefer concert sound over movie sound like I do. The 5.1 direction gives all you need for a directional sound such as a stage. Movie sound is a bit different and good too. I just like concerts, usually off MDVD or Blu-ray, more than movies. So prefer to run larger speakers and up sound.I would add another set of BIC-PL89 up front first as a high front or right front and skip the rear speakers for now.If you want movie rear speakers for the complete surround sound or great gaming speakers for your computer desk top then get the PL66.

You will want the PL-66 for the rears. That is what they are designed for. That is what I use. I have 2 pairs for my rears and they are sweet.

The Acoustech PL-66 are awesome surround speakers. Great looking, incredible sound and best bang for the buck. Efficient, low power, clean sounding speakers. That's why I own them and got a great deal from Amazon.

Hey Slater, I pretty much have the same setup you just described, got the Son STRDG 720 last week and just purchased these speakers today. Which speakers do you think would be a good purchase to convert this system into 7.1? I have two large polk bookshelves at home although they are a bit old, what do you think?

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.

Like most of the other answers here I use these as my 3 fronts. They will work fine for rears. Not sure what your budget is but you could save a bit of money if you went with the 65 RT assuming you will have a sub (basically same speaker with 1 woofer instead of 2). The difference in price would be about $100 per speaker, they are rated down to 50 Hz whereas the 265 RT is rated down to 45. The 265 are rated to handle up to 200 watts while the 65 is rated to 125 watts. You can't go wrong either way for rear speakers.

The Polk 8 inch 2 way speakers will work well for front left and right. They will work well for surround speakers too. I would recommend that you use a Polk Center Speaker that has been built specifically to be used as a center channel speaker. Polk builds some really nice center channel speakers that have the proper enclosure and porting needed to handle the dialogue that usually is routed to the center speaker. We use a Polk Center and are very pleased with our choice. Rob C.

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.

easy to install...sound really good I used them for rear surround speakers. I am happy with them

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

If you want sound quality get the spr60c 'cause they divide de frecuencies, if you want loudness get the spr-60 'cause they are coaxial speakers, i run them on a clarion marine amp and they are pretty loud

Yea that's basically it, we used 12 gauge monster cables but just make sure to measure so that you'll have enough cable to set up all the speakers because the first time we bought the cables we didn't have enough for the rear left speaker.... And I agree with JR, you should buy a subwoofer :}

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.

I don't know what your reference is for fronts. However, I am really pleased with them for the rear. They are very full sounding, not like some cheapy rear speakers

Not sure what u wAnt to do. I had 2 as rear surround and they worked great.

I have used fh6 lcr for center front and rear surrounds.If using for center only bigger is always better.Make sure your amp can push them.

I have the TL250 speakers and they do a great job and can rock the place. Good choice for speakers.

IMO if you putting these on a aftermarket amp get some 4 ohm speakers to be more amp friendly. These are 2 ohm and probably best for factory replacements. As far as what amp to get i am guessing you are going low budget. MBQuart and hifonics make cheap good 4ch amps. Stay away from the wally world stuff and don't forget high level inputs or a line out converter. PAC SNI-35 great budget LOC
