I started playing with the Yamaha eq settings and went up with the highs and lows 2db
Anyone has experience with a good set up for this speakers and a Yamaha receiver ?
The center kind of clears the tv. It is the S35
I guess that’s why is so slim
Thanks for the help
The optimal set up will vary from system to system and room to room. Use the calibration program to set a base line then tweak to your liking from there.Political Correctness'.........defined

I would want the center channel speaker closer to the front edge of the TV stand so the sound doesn't have to reflect off of the stand as soon as it leaves the speaker, but that's just me..."Make a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Light

Sadly it doesn’t fit beneath

Any ideas where the headaches with the systems comes from
I mean too much treble ?
Too much bass?
Too much controls to tweak? Lol -

Good idea

There ya go. Now pull the mains out a bit and toe them in slightly. You might also want to try angling the center up slightly.Political Correctness'.........defined

Love your room and your setup. I know you are bound with aesthetics and WAF.
When you get some alone time you really need to pull those speakers out at least 3"-4" (preferably 6") in front of that cabinets and play with toe'ing in the speakers.
We just want you to experience that moment where you get true stereo imaging and sound stage. When you do this set your receiver in "pure direct" or 2 channel only using your speakers. You'll sit in the sweet spot.
It will make the difference of between just listening to music...vs really hearing the music as intended/recorded with "stereo"
This will enable you to understand what and why we have critiqued your system...which is really nice. Understandably you may not me able to leave it this way 24/7, but you will see what it can produce and what it was designed for and help you tweek the system.
Google up any terms I have posted that you don't understand...you'll thank us later
---Cheers

Welcome to Club Polk
Wow everything made a difference
I toed the speakers and the center has more presence
Now with a low volume sounds better
Already google some terms lol English is not my native language
Very rich sound
Not muddy as my previous previous Sony speakers
My previous Polk r150 were awesome
This signatures have a richer dynamic tonality
I’m thinking in using the R150 as back speakers and making a 7.1 system
What do you think?

Soundstage – Described in 3 dimensional terms (height width and depth)
Imaging – The placement and position of an instrument as interpreted through the use of a product....singer usually up front and instruments projected as if you were watching live...also falls back to soundstage terminology
WAF---If you're married, "Wife Approval Factor"
If the wife is not happy, she will make sure no one is happy
So what is your native language if you don't mind sharing

I’m from El Salvador and my wife hates high volume lol
I guess most wives does
First our mothers then our wives lol
We men are cursed for life
I watch movies with my thumb on the remote control lol

Yes sir,
but if you can demonstrate how good it sounds
We sometimes can get a smile and a little approval out of them...then back to work to buy them a pair of shoes or a new purse
Good luck and let us know as get become one with your music system

Nice set up, too bad it cracked your table. BTW you type English better than me.

Hey guys
For the first time in a long time I just sat to listen to music again
It is really awesome
This system is great
A friend of mine has the Kplish reference system and I didn’t like the highs tonality
Too bright for me
Another friend has the electrostatic Martin Logan and for me were too bright without presence
I decided to buy Polk cause the R150 bookshelf speakers I have were perfectly balanced for my ears
At the end we all are different
I just love how Polk audio sounds for a good price -
Bet you were smiling ear to ear.

Hello
After my initial excitement
I’m starting to see some issues
The thing is that I have two doubts or complaints
1. I feel the system has more highs and bass but lacks mids and
2. I feel that to get a decent sound I need to crank it up a little bit
My system is definitely better than my old Sony receiver with two Polks R150 in that I gained clarity, more details, more dynamic range but I lost the fullness of the sound
Trying to describe it
before it was ||||||||||||||||||||||||||| now it is |||||||:::......||||||,,,,,,,|||||||||||
I played a lot with the auto eq with a post refined tuning but still not a sound as a i would dream of. I liked the tonality of the R150 better. What can I do?
Maybe my ear is not used to good quality sound lol -

Sorry for bothering everybody
I’m posting my mistake normally in the Eq i use bass +5 mid -2 treble +5 and I was doing that in this system and the backs and surrounds were flat
I set the eq with 3 slopes including mids and now sounds robust and full
Thank you for all the tips I received here
All were taken into account and now this system sounds how I like it
Thanks again.
