Thanks, I just wish it was a little wider as I really don't have room for 2 subs. If I put one to the right of the right speaker it would be too small a space to walk thru the entrance to the hall.

Very nice looking room and well proportioned for speaker placement (neither of the front speakers is too close to the side walls). As for having dual subs, look into the cylinder subs from SVS (small footprint with BIG sound).
What you don't see in the picture is on the right side of the room at the other end of the sofa are stairs and the room opens up to them. So both side aren't the same.
My wife already didn't like the taller speakers I bought when she was out of town (better to ask forgiveness after the buying them than asking if she would mind if I got them) so I don't think I need to try my luck with taller sub woofers. Although she did admit S55's sounded better.
I probably get a Monoprice 10" when they get back in stock or a VTF-2 MK5. Not a fan of the 505 I have now.
Thanks anyway for the suggestion.

definitely get that HSU! Established sub, a bunch of us have had a similar model and loved it. I had an older VTF-3r and it was the best combo (music and movies) sub that I ever had. I traded it for my current SVS (which is a close second) only because it was front firing and fit in my built ins. The wife definitely likes that...
The HSU is an awesome sub. I have a VTF3 and love it. It replaced a VTF2MK2 which did extremely well.
When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

I would take the HSU any day over the Monoprice stuff. Look at the pricing differences on top your getting more proven sub with the HSU
12" HSU VTF2MK5 is $539
12" Monoprice is $799
So for the price of a 12" Monoprice sub you could get the VTF3MK5 and hear your dishes rattle.
All my HSU subs have blended well with my Signatures. VTF2MK2 did well with my S60 and the VTF3MK5 does wonders. My S20's I have paired with a STF2 that blends perfect.

The mono price 15 is very close to a 16 ultra for almost half the price...no way I would consider the the svs... If it wasent for their warranties and trade in.. Their stuff wouldn't sell like it does..

That monoprice 12 will literally crush the vtf2
I would like to hear/see that. HSU are very good subs, so something in their price range to top it would be amazing.
I'm only stating my opinion, I've never had the chance to hear the Monoprice sub offerings. Till I do I will suggest HSU or SVS, proven deep clean bass that last.

When you hear that Monoprice 12 literally crush the VTF2, your head will literally explode.
If you wana be technical must ppl compare the vtf3 with the monolith 12..which I'd still take the Monolith but comparing it to the vtf2..thats like comparing a polk sub to anything top line..

I have no idea what it is you are talking about. I might try to literally wrap my head around it, but I am afraid that would damage my skull and that I would literally, figuratively, and likely....die. I wonder if literally a million people would come to my funeral.
I literally could care less about this thread.....

I love the sound of the S30 center channel speaker. I'm thinking about getting two more of them to use as the front L/R speakers in my 3.0 setup. Of course I'd have to turn them “sideways” and stand them up on end on speaker stands. What do think?

I’d suggest getting the S20s instead. They are a little smaller, and they are actually designed to be used as main L/R speakers.

I've always thought the goal of high-end audio was not to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Turn that darn music down' but to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Tell your friends to go home and you can practice later this week'.

I have seen many people use centers and mains.. Also mains as centers.. I'm sure it would be fine although the driver in the s20 is over a inch bigger and will Def give you more punch.. If your using a sub I'd try It just cut your crossover off at like 100 or so let your sub do all the pounding..
Looking for advice on Signature speakers. Have small room 8x15 for home theatre for movies only. (since have stereo in larger room (audio refinement integrated, arcam cd and triangle celius). Want to upgrade from old 5.1 def tech pro cinema 80 and denon 1803 and old pioneer kuro plasma.)
Have pretty much decided on denon 3600h and RSL speedwoofer 10s - NEED ADVICE on POLK signature speakers.
Would it be better to use 5 S15s or at least left right and center all S15s and S10 rears, but does Center then have to be vertical , which I may be able to do , (despite aesthetics)? If Center S15 is placed horizontal would it be better instead to have S30 center and S15 left and right , and either S15 or S10 rears? Really appreciate thoughts from those familiar with the signature series. Thanks.
I would use the s20's as front left and right, s15's as surrounds and the s30 center. That will produce a much fuller sound than using the 15's as fronts.

Thanks for such a quick response. I had read somewhere about an advantage to having front left and center identical, so that is why I asked. What do you think about two POLK mc60s in ceiling for Dolby Atmos in a room this size?
