I posted here a few weeks ago how i liked my rm6750 polks with my 606 onkyo, i went to my local C/C today to find they clearanced out some polks. i can get the monitor 40 series for 129.00 and cs1 for 79.00 new in box, would these sound better than the rm6750 sattelites i have for fronts and center enough for the upgrade? also my brother in law wants to buy my center and fronts from rm6750 set for 150.00 so i would only pay 60.00 to upgrade? suggestions and thank you all.

You are both correct....however Sir Mix a Lot had his version of that song on the album "Return of the Bumpasaurus"

Both are amusing songs

thanks for advice and i could spend few hundred more, but for what i am saving now and all i think ill stick with these since so many agree lol i was not planning on doing to much at this time, but since they was there and i was wanting more than my rm6750 and i had a buyer for the other 3 in that set i said why not, heck these are huge compared to the sattelites and i barely got them in the spots i needed

LonnieJr · 10-06-2008, 08:48 PM

polk said to set the speakers to say 100 hz and sub to 80 hz and that is good setting, when i did the cal mic it set my fronts to full? i suppose they should be set to small and what is small considered in hz, thanks guys

Also make sure to inspect the speakers, remove the grills and make sure nobody has "punctured" any of the tweeters or caused damage to the speakers.
Every speaker at my local circuit city that was on clearance was badly damaged.

i've been chatting a bit with Lonnie. Polk is saying that the M40's can lay horizontal as log as the connection terminals are towards the outside. Anyone ever heard of something like this before?

It's news to me that bookshelfs can do this (for music I understand more than movies)
