Great bass natural sounding

I use a 5.1 105 watts/ch Marantz sr-7200 receiver to power these speakers. All my friends think its better than going to a movie cinema. It handles 100 decibels of continuous sound crystal clear with peaks up to 106 decibels. You can play 2-channel CD´s with the receiver in a surround mode and if you close your eyes, you think the group is on stage in front of you. Movies sound great and the psw650 sub actually feels like it is shaking you. It is placed 1 foot to the left of my recliner and 1 foot from the wall on a concrete floor in my 1000 sq.ft. basement. One of the sub speakers is facing me. I set all the speakers to 75 decibels in the setup menu and also set the distance from the listener.(12ft for fronts and 5ft for rears)Its positioned in the corner of my open basement. I hooked the sub to the sub pre-out on the receiver and plugged into my LFE in on the sub. I still need to try plugging in to my unfiltered IN on the sub. I feel that 5.1 DTS or THX recordings sound better than plain old 5.1 dolby. I since have added around $4000 to the system. External 230 watts/ch amp, cht-12 velodyne sub and 5 Polk LSi spkrs. It does sound better and louder now, but I still think the Rm7500 with psw650 sub is a great deal for the money and do recommend it highly. The Rm7600 replaces the Rm7500. If you buy using the internet make sure the seller is an authorized dealer for the product.

I was shopping for a pair of mains plus a matching center to complete my HT system. I was looking both on floor-standing speakers and bookshelves like Infinity, M&K, Definitive..etc. One day I visited a Circuit City closeby and saw they have a 5 piece RM7500 satellite set selling for $550 since RM7500 will be replaced by RM7600 next year(7500 and 7600 are essentially the same product). I then proceeded to listen to a demo with "Titan AE" and boy! The speakers do rock! I purchased the set (I think it's the last set) and I'm not reqretting since then. When I play guitar and other string music I can hear very natural, detailed string tone. I even hear the resonance of the instrument's wooden body. When I play action DVDs with numerous bang-bang, boom-boom scenes the speakers handle every detail cleanly and with ease. I even tried to test my speakers by setting the mains to "large" and send all LFEs to both main and sub. Even though the real low bass was weak on the mains (can't expect too much for a 5 1/4 inch midrange driver) they did not experience any distortion. I'm really glad I purchased this set, especially when I only pay 550 for it.

If anyone is interested in these speakers I have a set for sale in the classifieds. This is an awesome set of speakers! http://marketplace.consumerreview.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/classifieds.pl?db=Audio&website=AudioReview&language=&session_key=&search_and_display_db_button=on&results_format=long&db_id=6592&query=retrieval

this system rocks my world! its has a nice look besides the sound

Great Sound, Price, Appearence. Everything about it.

NONE

Awesome speakers, hands down they are in my opinion the best. Very nice looking also. They have highs they have lows and every where in between. Every one that comes over is amazed by the sound. The sub just blows me away when watching movies. I strongly suggest you go with Polk, as you can see every one else knows a winner when they see one.

Is there any way to find these speakers over the internet? I saw them at a local store for $1550, but that seems a bit steep. Also, has anyone listed to the Energy Ensemble? Both systems are awesome! Check out the reviews for the Energy. I am trying to find someone who evaluated both before buying.... I am at the 11th hour and want to get something soon.

Small Speakers that have a beautiful black gloss finish. The sub is just as classy looking!

Having this sub/sat system has turned out more than I expected. :-) I truned to it because of the nice design of the speakers. I had been looking at polk, but not a sub/sat combo. It fits the space of my room conveniently(12x20), and puts great realism into DVD's. Air Force One was numbing to watch with the sound coming form this system!
Music sounds good but not outstanding.(it could be the recording quality of CD's).
I'm using an Onkyo 777 for the power(another great porduct!),Proscan DVD, and Onkyo 540 CD-changer.
These speakers bring out the best of these products and are worth the money. They are a well made product with the sub offering enough arrangements for the serious listener(lfe input, speaker inputs, Bass boost, crossover dial, pahse alignment, auto power on :-)
I hope you seriously look into this model if this is the price your looking at($1500).

great sound from a small package, looks good, powerful sub

none that i have found

i work at circuit city so i got a killer deal on this thing, but it would definately still be worth the money if i didn't get a discount. this thing sounds great. one of my co-workers has 2 infinity overture 3's an infinity cc3, quadrapoles in the back and an hk avr 7000 receiverand my rm 7500 hokke dto a kenwood vr 309 souds almost as good. this package is definately one of the best buys around.

the sub definitely!!!

the gloss finish get smudged easily and can see dust collect

these speakers are the best i have used in a sub/sat configuration. the sub makes the speaker package by its self. the sound is incredible when listening to movies. you can hear every bullet echo and ricochet in Sav. Priv. Ryan in DTS. the sound is good when listening to music as well but movies are my main thing. i have them hooked up to my onkyo txds-676 receiver, sony dvd player, and moster cable interconnects used throughout. i would recommend these speakers to anyone who doesn't have a tremendous amount of room and would like good to great sound and a sub with some definite horsepower.

The sound is incredible...deep bass, good mid and highs...

these speakers are as ugly as it gets...but they make up for that in sound...how about a remote for the sub

These speakers ROCK! The sound is full, great for both home theater and for music. I have heard things like never before. The "Matrix" is fantastic, as well as Saving Pvt. Ryan...you are in the action, with bullets flying past your head.

Use your head...wire is wire. These sound the same with 10g or with 14g, all bought from home depot. The Moster Cables sounded no different, and cost $2.95/foot vs. .$0.31 off the spool.

Good solid speakers but look as cheap as possible. Great value for $1100.00 at BuyitNow.com!
