I have a 3.1 setup of RF-42 - L&amp;R, RC-52 - C, R-10SW. Will these match as rear speakers or will they over power? Open to suggestio.

Actually since your using the RF-42 II the recommended rears are the RB-41 II. I have the RF-42 up front 3 of them.nand a set of the RB-51 as surround L&R and the RB-41 II as surround back. If they seem to over power you can always turn the lvl down on their channel. I bought the RB-51 II for better sound with all zone and channel playback of music. Love my klipsch!

If you are using them for your rear speakers, they will be just fine with your system. We have about same set up and they work very nice.

They will work very well. I used them as such and they worked out well. Polk makes a great bang for the buck speaker. You will not be dissapointed. Just make sure you get the matching center channel.

I use them as my rear speakers and have a good pre-amp and 460 watt amp feeding them. They will rumble really well and makes it very movie theatre like experience. My front speakers are much more refined and clearer on speech. You will need separate amps because the EQ is configured between the pre and amp.

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.

These are great little speakers. I currnently use them for my left and right rear sound. When I was building my surround system the P143 speakers and my center channel arrived first. Just for fun a plugged them into my A/V Receiver as the front Right and Left. They worked well. A significant improvement over the previous sound bar I had. They are well priced and solid performers. Good luck.

I have a pair for the rear and I am not overly impressed with the detail of the sound. Clarity is good, and the problem may very well be the receiver that I'm using. I'm figuring this out as I go. Solid construction and easy to install. Good luck.

If you are installing only two front and two rear speakers they should work fine. If you are planning a 5:1 surround system they do not perform well as center channel speakers.

Yes. The RF 62s are best used for front, especially if you have smaller RB 51s. RB is bookshelf and RF is floor standing. RB can be used as front speaker but you always want the larger speakers in front. Also, RF can be used as rear speakers if you want but then you would want the same in front or larger like RF 82.

Same here, I have them as front speakers. Rear will probably do great as well.

They will work if you have a 1/8" output jack for your rear speakers. I would not recomend these if you have a 100w per channel or more receiver that you are using for the front.

You could use these for your front L/R speakers. There's no way that I would use then from my rear or my surround speakers. They're too big for surround or rears. You didn't mention your receiver model. Of course, if it's only a 5.1 receiver, you still need to upgrade to a 7.1 receiver.

Your front speaker should be tonally matched with the front L/R speakers. In other words, this front speaker matches C-V VE series L&R; speakers. Rear channel surround don't have to be matched. My set up? C-V VE series LFR mated to PolkAudio rear surrounds.

not sure if this will help, but I used these on my rear speakers. Wired tweeters and rear speakers on same rear signal sending wires. IT sounds fine. Mids and highs. Your probably better off using the crossovers that comes with them.

That is a hard question for me because when I got the speakers they handled the 2400 power but they sound bad.so put more power to them and blew them to bits. I ended up replacing them( with the same box of corse) with jbl sub woffers just wasn't what I was lookin for

Yes, I have the same system, we love it, it's the best all-around system out there and these are the best stands for the money. When you hook the wire into the rear speakers use a 90 degree connector, you can get from radio shack or best buy. just show them the wire you are using and tell them you need a 90 degree connector. again the connector goes on the rear speakers and will be helpful when you install speakers to speaker stands. this will all make since when you go to install rear speakers. enjoy CWN
