QuestionWould these speakers work well with Marantz NR1510 receiver?
Asked 1 year ago by PossiblyMe.
- Answer Yes as a stereo pair but you'd have to get a sub-woofer and rear speakers to complete the 5.2 surround system. 2 pair of these and the matching sub-woofer would make a great system.

QuestionDo these speakers sound much fuller with a sub-woofer or is the bass effective without one?
Asked 1 year ago by Pat.
- Answer The bass is pretty good for the size but there is never a stand alone replacement for the full sound that a subwoofer provides. IMHO.

QuestionI have a Sony receiver and the speakers can be switched to send signals as large or small speakers. If switched to large it sends less signal to my subwoofer. How would these sound running them as small would it give me a good mid bass sound...thanks Stan
Asked 2 years ago by Stan393.
- Answer If like a Denon or Marantz, the menu settings can adjust bass settings. Sending LF signals to the sub and front speakers when set to large. However, setting the Polk Audio XT20 bookshelf speakers to small is the recommended choice. If crossover adjustments are allowed in your Sony receiver, set the XT20 speakers to about 70 Hz. This should result in a much smoother sound.
