@induction7895 I have replaced the R400 which of course is a 2 way speaker, to a three-way speaker. The on axis of the speaker sounded great but off axis was terrible. So again, going to a three-way design helped tremendously.
You can technically run those speakers with a 105 W but if this is a receiver they usually underrate them. So just know that you won't get the full performance of the speakers until you get a dedicated amp to power them.
Sorry for the late reply but my surrounds were mounted close to the ceiling and I noticed most professional installs had them 4-5 feet high, so I moved mine to 5 feet and did notice an overall improvement. Ideally, you want all your speakers to be close to ear level but I do prefer my surrounds speakers a bit higher.
@@NaveedKhan-bs1scwhat are you trying to accomplish ? R900 is technically a height module speaker for people who cannot install in ceilings atmos speakers. Its not equivalent but it’s available for that purpose.
Nice setup. I'm curious, I have a similar size room, does the R400 still sound good to someone sitting off-axis kind of toward the side of the couch? Like how far off-axis could you go without the soundstage falling apart in a 12' room?
It's funny you ask that. I was really wanting to like the r400, but to your point the off axis response on that speaker was horrible so I went from a 2 way to a 3 way center channel and that fixed the problem.I need to post a new video because I made a few changes.
@petekutheis3822 My new center channel is a wharfadale 4.c it's in the Evo line and I love it. it is a little more expensive but money well spent. and the speakers huge which I like.
The receiver is a Yamaha RXA 2080.It's a couple years old now but it does a good job.But I have a Sherbourn amplifier that I use on my 3 front channels and 2 surrounds and the receiver handles the rest.
I love these speakers in my bedroom. R700 rock. No need for a subwoofer or surround
Nice setup!
@@ryangonyer9498 thank you!
Love your setup. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Does R400 sound lacking in any way compared to R700s?

Nice set up love the Yamaha av receiver.
i have the Polk XT60s and XT20s + XT12 woofer for my home theater, but i would really love to own the R700s
Great setup.
Thank you!
Beautiful setup
Do you think I can get by 105 watts x2 for the Polk r700 and later add a power amp.

Great system! How did you decide on the mounting height of the wall speakers? Is that a recommended height? Thanks!

How are you liking the r900 for side surround? Are they powerful enough with that 3/4 tweeter and 4inch driver. ?
I keep them crossed over at 80hz and no problems at all.
I can only set the r900s on top of the r700 towers. Would this be a waste.

am i right, did you have Focals first ? if so how did they compare ?
Sorry, never had Focals

@@thetopher8116 Ah I am glad I saw this the Legend 400 is very expensive at 1700+ dollats...so maybe the Monolith is the way to go.

Which avr is used in your system?
