Yes,

For now, definitely leave the connectors on. And you can run your wires from the top posts (this really doesn't matter since the connectors bridge both posts). Just make sure you screw down all 4 posts on each speaker tightly as if there is any gapping at all the connection between the tweeters and the mid-bass drivers will be broken and you'll either just hear lows, or highs. Lot's of first-timers do this and think there is something wrong with their new speakers!

I got the 40's today and have hooked up both the 60's front and the 40's rear. Played for an hour or so they sound pretty good . remember I haven' t had a chance to run YAPO yet.Newegg is still waiting on the CS2's to come in So still useing cerwin vega. Any suggestions on Sub woofer? PSW110? The wife wants to check it out with an action flick so off to the other room I'AM. I'll check back a after the flick. Thanks potee

PSW 505 is nice sub for your set up at a good price! They're still available but maybe a bit much for you....run you about 340 or so with shipping! Or you can wait and go for a Supersub...that 1000+ range!

Are you running a Yamaha AVR? I though you had an Onkyo? I'm probably reading to many posts....dizzy....sorry...

Yes I have a Yamaha RX-V663. I've had it over a year and it's pretty good. Watched the pelican brief last night and speakers seem pretty good. Can't wait till the entire system is up and running. By the way my room isn't very big think the PSW505 might be too much for it.

No such thing as too much. You can always adjust down but you can never get more out of a sub than it can deliver.:D

I use my PSW505 as a double for a coffee table:D

Going to order today. CS1 $80.00 or CS2 $150.00 To go with my new M60's front and M40's rear? Is the 2 worth $70.00 more? Thanks

You won't regret going with the CS2 especially with M60s. Will give you more SOUND from that center! I use one and it's unbeatable in its price range. And that's still about half price...so not too bad....though they have sometimes fallen to about 100 on occasion?

Don't know if the sound is worth the extra $70, but I'm thinking the size of the 2 is just too much under my television... Still trying to decide for myself. I caught the PSW505 at Newegg for $249, they're out of them now though, but I sure do love it.

cnh

Great price on the 505. You can get by with the CS1 if space is a problem. Though the CS2 really does put out the sound! Depends some on the size of your room as well.

BTW...Polk's ebay direct was selling a ton of the CS1s yesterday at 50.00 each!

I finaly ran YAPO yesterday and all I can say is that I should of bought these speakers along time ago. Hellboy II was great even with my old cerwin vega center and the sony sub woofer. I've been waiting to see if newegg puts a lower price on the CS2, But I won't wait much longer. Also looking at the PSW10 PSW110 don't know yet.

I did't wait as long as I wanted toI ordered the CS2 today from newegg. Too bad I needed the black one. Now just have to worry about the sub. So far things are going good.

I have 40's for my fronts, am seriously considering buying 60's as most people seem to really like them.

MrGlobe

I would definitely recommend both the 40s and the 60s. I started my upgrade path with a pair of 40s and a CSM center. The 40s are a great speaker, very clear and once they are broken in they get pretty deep. After getting the 60s yesterday, Im impressed with the amound of low end they already have. They are no where near broken in but they added alot of depth to movies and music. Unfortunately I now have 60s as mains with a CSM center. Once I save some more money Ill buy a CS1 or 2 and use the CSM as rear center.

Also, I got the 60s for $120 a piece from Newegg

I saw the CS2 go on sale at newegg for $119.00 called and they gave me a rebate. If you want the CS2 now is the time to jump while it's still on sale

Yeah thats a pretty awesome deal. I have a hard time spending alot on a center though, I understand that a very large percentage of dialogue and such come from the center, but I use it ONLY for HT use. I use my towers in 2 channel for listening to music so Im glad theyre a little nicer
