Can these speakers be used to complete a 7.1 system?, right now I have a 5.1 system (JBL CS6100) and have a decent AVR.

Yes, you can and will not disappointed you. That's what i have having 7.1 with these speakers.

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.

I purchased the Polk Audio 265RT specifically for upgrading from a 5.1 system to a 7.1 system with no regrets.

To be completely honest I can't say for sure they would work, however in reading the reviews they sound like they fit most models nicely. The 6-3/4 description is misleading as it states farther down that they are actually 6.5" speakers. I would say for the price of around $16 I would give them a shot and if not at least your not out the $40 or more others are costing. I went out on a limb to try some but have not installed them with speakers yet. Sorry.

Yes although you will only get 5.1 instead of the possible 7.1 on ur receiver (2 ports would be unused unless u buy 2 extra speakers)

Yes, a 5.1 speaker set up will work with a 7.1 card. A 7.1 speaker set up would just have one more cord to plugin than the 5.1 so it's very simple to upgrade your speakers later

These speakers are sold in pairs. They will work fine in a 5.1 system provided the room is not larger than about 15 x 20. You will also need a center channel speaker, the Polk CS-10 uses the same drivers and will compliment these nicely.

7.1 has nothing to do with this system, you just get two additional speakers (of the same brand or different brand) and connect to your receiver to make 7.1 from 5.1

Hello...these speakers require wires. I use them as surrounds in my 7.1 system. They are very good.

they are pretty powerful speakers, so i wouldn't run them with less than 1000 per channel. I use a pyle pqa3100, it is pretty cheap but works great with these speakers.

Yes, these speakers will fit your system. But it sound like to me that your volume isn't being optimized or you're having an issue with an audio driver.

I would think that they will work just fine. These speakers have amazing sound quality for the money.

I don't see why not. I use them as my rears in a 5.1 and plan to transition them to my side speakers once I install another pair of speaker for rears to complete a 7.1 system. They might not have as much power as you would want for front speakers but that all depends on room size and your taste.

I believe you should be able to since the missing speakers between the 5.1 and the 7.1 are used for mid room surround, however with the whole system in I'm not sure if you'll be able to have just stereo sound coming from the remaining port. Its possible you'll end up with those speakers only playing the sound that would come through the two mid speakers in a 7.1 system.

These are computer system speakers. They would improve your sound tremendously but I think you may want a surround system or a sound bar with simulated surround. Best bet is to buy a receiver and 6 speakers

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 actually contacted Onkyo about a similar thing. I want to run a 7.1.2 and use an amp with the RCA line out jacks. All I need to do is get an amp to power from the RCA jacks and I'm good to go. You should be able to run it with a rear pair and 4 atmos speakers, but something would have to be doubled up on the actually timing with the Dolby computing. It won't be a true 7.1.4...but you can run a true 7.1.2 with this system and an amp to power the additional speakers.

What exactly do you mean that a 7.1 system will never be used? I was planning on getting a 7.1 and putting 4 speakers in the living room with the TV and two in the adjoining kitchen area. No? Do you still get surround sound with 7.1 and are the Onkyo speakers really that bad? I was looking at either the 7200 or 6200.

There are a lot of nice receivers out there. I would get something to handle the wattage and the 7.1 to really enjoy the sound quality. I think as far as brands go it's what you like. I wouldn't go cheap, you just got some great speakers. I would look for something to enhance them. Make sure you get a receiver compatible with your speakers, wiring and so on. Check out the Leviton JBL site...that's what I did.
