Polk R15 on logitech z-680?

[legcramp]

Hey guys, I am wondering if I purchased a pair of Polk R15's wouold I be able to replace the front left and right speakers on my logitech z-680's? thanks

That should work.

You might have to play around with the volume controls for front vs rear/center output because the efficiency of the polk vs logitech speakers are probably different.

You wont get the full benefit of the speakers because for the low end the logitech sub is going to crossover earlier to the sub than you'd normally need to on the R15s.

Thanks for the fast response.. So are you sure it won't blow out the amp if turned up too loud or what?

Well... you're still in danger of damaging your amp or the speakers if you drive them too hard, but I wouldn't think your chance of damaging them would increase.

I've driven Fluance SV-6 bookshelf speakers off the amp in my logitech z-560 sub without a problem.

I think the Klipsch satellites are 4ohm but the Logitech ones are 8ohm? Worst case is that the logitech sub is optomized for a 4ohm load but you'll be fine with an 8ohm load of the R15s on that.

Unless you have a huge room you should be able to get really high volumes before you put anything other than your hearing in danger

$49 is for a pair.

The will sell Polk R30s for $50 each from time to time if you'd prefer floorstanders.

I think that Polk R50s are $79 each when they go on sale?

EDIT: looks like the last couple sales R50s were also $50 each.

yah , but they look kinda big.. and probably will stress the crap outta my z-680's amp... I'll stick with the r15's since I will be getting them soon and won't wait for the others to go on sale
