Are these truly 4 ohm? I want to run 4 of them on my Onkyo TX-8020 but if they are 4 ohm I can’t. Kinda odd I though most home audio was 8ohm. Too bad.

BEST ANSWER: Yes, too bad you are trying to run 4 speakers off a 2ch stereo receiver.

The TX-8020 manual shows 4ohm ratings. So it should work. I am powering 8 of them on a Denon x4700h.

I’m using an Adcom amp with 60 watts per channel, Cannot play at anywhere near max output.. I would say you have to dial it back from full gain.

This may be a dumb question but would this speaker sound ok as a center speaker, laying horizontally? Thanks.
Hien V
on Dec 11, 2021
BEST ANSWER: I know this is almost a year late and I'm no expert, but my understanding is that most bookshelf speakers (this one included) do not have a wide vertical range of sound that is as good as on center, but horizontally the range is larger. When you turn it on its side anyone seated left or right of the primary listening position won't get good center channel audio which would impact dialog among other things. They are bookshelf speaker designs that would work in this way but they are usually much more expensive.

BEST ANSWER: Quite possibly a great match, with EQ. Does your receiver have a microphone and automatically samples and adjusts EQ and timing for each channel? If so, an easy match.

How thick is the MDF on the sides and back? I want to screw these into a wall mount and would like to know what size screw I should use to make this happen? I would like to not screw all the way through just the max while still keeping the structure solid. I have currently 1/2 inch screws but I fear they might be too short.

Fit well in the desired location and are excellent overall
I'm using these more like a center channel for my home theater system. They are far more substancial than a soundbar and work very well for my purpose. Plenty of lows and highs as well as excellent voice reproduction.

Great bookshelfs
I got these to go in my living room for music listening and some TV/movies. I don't have a sub in this room and these speakers put out plenty of bass for most music. They are surprisingly big in size, but they sound pretty decent as well. Especially considering the price.

Impressive
Probably the best bang for the buck out there! The tweeter wave guide also time-aligns it with the woofer, which equals great imaging. I use these for rear surrounds, placed upside down, to get the tweeters as close to ear level as possible, while elevating them to the proper height, and also use the B5's for the additional rear and front "presence" speakers. Good build quality and finish. The packaging was very well done. Delivery took longer than expected, but the wait was worth it!

Great speakers for the price, I have four of them
I use these as center front and back channels in my surround sound system but they sounded so much better than anything else I tried that I bought two more and use them as stereo speakers on my book stand headboard for listening in bed. They were also the best speakers I tried in that setup.
