If you can't listen before you buy, it probably comes down to which has the best warranty. - Brennan, Outdoor Speaker Depot

When you have high ceilings, such as 10', you really need to have powerful enough speakers to provide good coverage throughout the room. If you only put 6.5" speakers up there, you'd really have to work them in order to fill all that space, and then distortion can come into play. What kind of...

Hi Jim. Yes, a center channel is an important part of your home theater experience. It is the speaker that provides you with the majority of the dialogue and will add great dimension to your sound. Hope that helps. - Brennan, OSD Audio

I'd recommend getting the front speakers to your liking and then modifying the sub to best accommodate them. I don't think you'll have any problem with giving it too much, but I'd use LFE if your receiver has it and shape it to match your needs. - Brennan, OSD Audio

This is probably why most of the newer/higher end receivers have auto calibration. As far as your situation goes, I'd recommend calling the manufacturer's tech support and get their advice. Wish I could help you out more. - Brennan, Outdoor Speaker Depot

You have the HDTV going HDMI to the soundbar? Have you tried just using an RCA out from the TV to the audio input of the soundbar? - Brennan, OSD Audio

Are you set on having Polk? - Brennan, Outdoor Speaker Depot

That is indeed a typo. It should read 1/16/13. I'll keep you updated. - Brennan, Outdoor Speaker Depot

I just learned that we'll be getting them in sooner than we thought. It looks like sometime next week, but there's always a chance of delays. I'll try to remind you on here when they arrive. - Brennan, OSD Audio

Sounds about right! Let us know how it goes! - Brennan, OSD Audio

The 3 7/16" is the depth of the speaker cones. The depth of the cross over is about 2 7/8". The depth of the dog-ear clamps at each corner is 2 3/8". - Brennan, Outdoor Speaker Depot

It depends on which part of the back of the speaker that would be in the way of the stud. If it's the back of the woofers, the cut would need to be deeper than if it was the crossover that was in the way. You're probably looking at a 1/2" to 3/4" deep cut, and about 6" in height. The stability...

Derick, I'm a representative over here at OSD Audio and I can help you out. There's a couple of different options for what you can do here. 1) You can actually cut a chunk out of the stud to get the IW-550LCR to fit. You wouldn't be cutting through the entire stud, so you wouldn't have to worry...

See below...careful when assuming. No Receiver? Pardon my "obtuseness", rather my lack of knowledge on that combo, but are the speakers each internally powered? What's your budget for a receiver? - Brennan, OSD Audio

Did you read the word "receiver" in that statement? I read a bluray player, speakers and a sub.

I'm assuming those Samsung speakers are amplified, so you wouldn't be using a receiver, right? - Brennan, OSD Audio

Do you have a HT receiver already? - Brennan, OSD Audio

If the speakers blew, it sounds like you want to be able to hear some decent volume, right? If you want to do surround sound, you can get an inexpensive receiver and if you don't want speakers all around the room, you can do a soundbar that mounts to your tv. - Brennan, OSD Audio

Geesh, for that price they better have some optomized crossovers. Haha. - Brennan, OSD Audio

Interesting. What manufacturers do this? - Brennan, Outdoor Speaker Depot

The crossover doesn't have much to do with the direction of the speaker. The tweeter is the most important factor here, and would still be operating the same. Brennan, OSD Audio

Having three identical center channels upfront (1 horizontal, 2 vertical) is actually a recommended setup. This way you have identical tweeters and woofers, so you'll have the same quality of sound coming out. - Brennan, OSD Audio

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. - Brennan, OSD Audio

Howdy folks, I'm new to the forums, but not to audio/video. That being said, I'm hear to not only be of some help if I can, but also to learn a thing or two. Look forward to the discussions!

Wouldn't it depend on the receiver and whether it can handle 2-6ohm loads rather than just 8ohm? - Brennan, OSD Audio

Indeed it doesn't, but in his case, it sounds like it's worth a try. Haha, I was actually having a discussion about sub crawl the other day and was being schooled by an experienced individual on how it's not something proven! Thanks for the input. - Brennan, OSD Audio

What you can do is hook the sub up and put it on the couch or wherever you will be sitting. Then stand in front of your center and then in the corner. You should notice a bit of a difference. If it sounds better when you're standing in one spot compared to the other, choose that location. -...

I assume you want to do all floor standing since you're in an apartment? - Brennan, OSD Audio

As long as the speakers have the same impedance, you should be fine. - Brennan, OSD Audio
