Are any of you using them in a home theater system? How do they sound with a DTS Master Audio 5.1 or 7.1 Soundtrack?

They sound incredible! I just have a basic set up with a pyle 600w amp a 30 band eq with gain control and for a little extra bass a sony 100w sub woofer...playing blue ray discs through a sony player the sound is incredible and with an eq you really dont need the sub woofer but it enhances the d-84s just right...

I am using them in a home theater and they sound quite awesome. I'm very amazed at the sound quality. The bass is very deep and tight, but the sub still makes a big difference.

Interesting question... But the answer isn't very interesting I'm afraid. Theyre good sounding speakers so they're going to sound good listening to anything especially if they're powered by a decent power source.

I love the sound quality of the mid and upper, lacks low end, really need a sub to fill in the rest of the range. Overall, no complaints

I disagree with Gabriel. I have these and use them primarily for video games and movies. They sound amazing. The extra bass makes a huge difference.

I do and they still sound awesome. These will not disappoint. I bought the RTI A1s first and they sounded so good, I decided to buy the RTI A3s for my rear surround sound and they are even better than the A1s. The quality and build of these speakers are great.

Thanks, Rushead. Excellent explanation. I'm concluding that if I go with the BD55, I can use its 7.1 audio outputs with the 7.1 audio inputs on my Pioneer 1015. Might be the best way to go, since I'm sensing the Dolby TrueHD and DTS might be significantly better than regular DD and DTS in 5.1.

I do... But, I am not a tech freak regarding the home theatre. It's sounds great when we watch movies or games. Nobody has ever told me I suck for not having a true middle speaker. :)Typically folks are shocked how well the while system sounds.

I still enjoy mine. I am 77 years old and am not an audiophile. But I know what I like. Mine are incorporated into a 7-1 system.

If you run the 65T's with out a subwoofer, you will miss lots of bass. Alone the just don't have the punch and deep rumbling bass to make a movie sound real.

Andrew, Unless you have about $500 burning a hole in your pocket, I wouldn't be in a hurry to spend the money on a new receiver. The vast majority of the High Def audio soundtracks are 5.1 surround. Go to the store and look at the discs yourself. True HD and DT 5.1 proliferate. LPCM 7.1 is pretty scarce. So what happens when you input 5.1 soundtracks through your 7.1 setup. Certainly, the rear speakers are offering nothing that the surround speakers aren't delivering, unless you're switching to a non HD audio fomat, such as Pro Logic 2x.

Any answer is really subjective. I found them to be OK. But, I still added a subwoofer and that combination seems to work fine. They are in a fairly large room and at opposite ends of the couch in that room. The sound you get is quite nice and really fills the place up. The room is also carpeted. I listen to a lot of systems, play music and listen to studio monitors. These are fine for a home system without spending a fortune.

They are the best possibility in a price-performance relation. They were not intended as a part of a surround system of any kind, just a pair of fair stereo speakers, but they perform excellent and their sound is superb. I would strongly recommend them for your TV sound system.

I'm using these in a 7.2 surround setup, with my Pioneer 1123k. Just ordered 2 more for back surround, 9.2. @ 94db they should be able to handle your audio needs. They have crisp and clear highs, and mid range. The are not bassy, I use my subs for that. Just watched Captain America bluray, sound was great. Previous setup was Bose. The Bose had a tighter sound, but only 87db, I am hearing more with 94db. Yea I would EQ the bass down for these.

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.

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&gt;Center&gt;FR&gt;RL&gt;RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL&gt;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

They sound great to me but I'm no audiophile. Mine are in the living room, and I enjoy them just fine. I like the fact that theres' no wires (except inside walls).

I find they are excellent for my use they areMy left and right surround speakeakers pushed by a Yamaha a2020 11.2 surround sound receiver I have Polk 700's floors fort front and 2 Polk subwoofers with Polk high front and rears with a Polk center channel. Nothing but polls for me!

Yes JSL, DD+, DTHD and DTS-master are much better sounding than the standard DD and DTS. Once you hear it, you won't regret spending the extra $100. It makes quite a difference with movies, but it makes a HUGE difference with concert Blu-rays. Some recommendations are Heart Alive in Seattle, U2 Rattle and Hum, Toto Live in Amsterdam and David Gilmour Remember that Night, among others. Make sure you get a nice set of RCA cables with gold plating so you don't miss any fidelity.

Unfortunately, i have not had the chance to play games with them since i use them for my office. However, they sound very good when playing music from my Jango account. The bass is very good for this system that i have to turn it down on the sub.
