With the appropriate receiver this system puts out some serious sound!Pros

Although I couldn't use the subwoofer since it is a powered connection and has a special connection type from a compatible receiver, I really didn't need to since ive been using an old 12" subwoofer I had.

Great sound and even though I lacked a high quality receiver I still was heavily enjoying my mini home theater sound

-DH510 5.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver [3D Compatible] receiver with these

Just need the right receiver for it thats all.

Complaints about the bass quality of the satellite speakers are unfounded because any decent receiver can be set to play bass at a customized frequency threshold only through the subwoofer, which in this case, provides clean accurate tones, and is plenty strong for average-sized rooms

If your goal is to have a solid indoor home theater or party room 5.1 setup then these are it!Let's first grant the fact that one needs to have an excellent receiver

Plan to pair with a decent receiver, for the purpose of watching movies mainly (and playing games), while listening to music on occasion via streaming Audio, connecting an iPod, etc.3

Combined with a decent receiver this system will impress your guests

I also bought a very nice receiver (Denon AVR-1912) that came with a microphone-equipped system (Audyssey Mult-EQ) for calibrating the audio signals to make the speakers and sub sound best based on where you are sitting in a room.

My room is 13' x 20', and I'm sure these speakers could easily fill a larger room with a suitable receiver.

So this subwoofer must be used with a compatible home theater receiver

I purchased an inexpensive (170) Yamaha receiver here on Amazon to go with it, and I bought a set of Atlantic speaker stands for the fronts ($40).

But turning the Amp up a little higher is not a big deal and the Receiver has been very happy in it's low ventilation area, and is in no danger of overheating

Using this with $190 sony receiver incredible

Please keep in mind that the receiver driving these makes the world of difference, so do not burn these speakers with a bad review if your a driving them through a crappy receiver.

Get a solid receiver and you will love this just as much as I have

I never heard the the receiver sound that good before

If you use a decent receiver and use the Dolby PLII or other processing for surround sound, you'll truly enjoy these.

I have limited my receiver to only half the volume but found these are loud enough.

Make sure you buy the right receiver though

And make sure the receiver is capable of at least 5.1, but 7.1 or 7.2 is better; read on.2

BUT, after we found a good, high end receiver to handle everything we wanted to plug into it, and found the right SETTINGS for the theater

Overall a real nice sounding subwoofer when used with the right receiver

Please keep in mind that the receiver driving these makes the world of difference, so do not burn these speakers with a bad review if your a driving them through a crappy receiver.

definately make sure that you use a good receiver and tweek the Hz and CH levels to refine the sound

I love Yamaha home theater receivers, but these speakers are a miss.

Save your money if you have a good receiver - this is all you need when it comes to speakers.:-)

I am temped to purchase another set with a cheap surround receiver to wire up another room!

Just make sure you're using a halfway decent receiver.

The receiver works great but this speaker set can’t take any power.

They really have no place in a home theatre setting even with a great receiver

Keep in mind the sound of these speakers was not due to me using a cheap or low quality receiver

As impressive as Yamaha Receiver are, I find it hard to believe that Yamaha Speakers can be such a let down.

Awesome sound c
