    That's a nice price. The Rm6750 was my first H/T system, very nice sounding setup, IMO. The little 8" sub isnt great, but for the money, decent. Really liked the Sat's and Center.

    fry's had them for $150, the speakers were good but the sub sucked, i listened to then at frys and the sub was the only reason, i didnt buy the set, but if you wait a little, frys has the set on sale for $150 every few weeks

    This is absolutely a great setup for someone's first H/T experience. Yes, the Sub would not be up to parr for an audiophile, but i think "suck's is a little harsh to describe this system, i had it for 3 month's and got alot of joy out of it, prior to upgrading.

    thanks for the replies...I am looking to buy my first HT set-up but don't want to upgrade in a year or so. I'm looking for something not as a "beginner" set up but not looking for a audiophile speakers either. I'd like something in the middle of the road. Does POLK sell a matched pair of HT speakers w/ sub?

    I saw these speakers on newegg as well and am going to get them for my mom's cheap surround sound system, but I had a quick question first. Does this system come with speaker wire and an RCA cable or something like that to connect everything to the receiver? Or will I need to buy some wire separately?

    If you're in a smaller room, 18 AWG wire should suffice. That's what I'm using in my 14' by 12' room.
    My humble setup...

    ...is no more. :cry:

    Any ol' 75 ohm RCA cable will work. No need for a Y adapter. I owned that exact sub before I bought my PSW110, and was surprised how much bass that lil' guy puts out.

    Can anybody help me? because I encounter some "ground sound" on my RM6750 SUB. I am using this rca cable for my sub
    $(KGrHqF,!hEE85leGmTOBPOm0-lwwQ~~60_12.JPG
    and I read some audio cables articles and some say that the digital coaxial cable is the right cable for sub woofers and not the typical rca cable that I am using, please I need to know what is the difference between the two audio cables? and what is the benefit of buying a much expensive digital coaxial cable than the typical rca cable.
