This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)

Q: What is the height of the center speaker?

A: 7.25 inches IN height. 18.75 wide. 7.25 deep without grill

Q: will I ruin the speaker using a 150watt rms amp, yamaha 679 model

A: No, you will be fine. In fact, the more power you have available, the safer it is for your speaker. What blows speakers isn't having too much power... It's having too little power, and the weaker amp is producing distortion trying to pump out high volume with too little power. The result is called "clipping", where the high-frequency noise created by a weak amp shreds the speakers. Having a high-powered amp doesn't mean that that power is constantly being delivered to your speakers. It means that that is the power that is AVAILABLE when needed, and that is usually in very short bursts. Most of the time, your amp is loafing, at 1 to 10% of its power. It's sort of like how you CAN lift 150 pounds, but that doesn't mean that you are always walking around carrying that much weight... But the ability to lift 150 pounds is there when you need it. So your speakers are in good hands with your powerful amp.

Q: Would it be bad to pair this with my 2 T-50 Polk towers as my right and left fronts for a theater surround sound? Or do you recommend a Polk Center channel?? If so what do you recommend

A: Since the center speaker is an individual channel it doesn't matter what your side tower speakers are. It isn't a sole source system say like Bose or Sonos that only work with their systems only.

Q: is there a difference between book shelf speakers and a center-channel speaker

A: Wow, all of these answers are bad. Center speakers are a compromise. They have worse off axis performance than bookshelves. If you can fit bookshelf speaker, fit a bookshelf. Having all matching speakers across the front, Left Center Right, is best for timbre matching. The next best thing is to match the brand and series of speaker. So for instance, If you have SVS ultra bookshelves, and cannot fit a another ultra bookshelf under your screen, you would want an SVS ultra center, and not an SVS Pinnacle or Aerial 5B. Timbre matching allows for a smooth transition when a sound pans from speaker to speaker. I cannot emphasize this enough, center speakers underperform against equivalent bookshelves. They may look more impressive, but their tweeter axis is inferior.

Q: Can a 33 pound TV be placed on top of this speaker?

A: i hust sat on mine its new and yes it holds me so im 140 lbs

Q: can i wall mount this speaker

A: Directly, no. It's not light, and I wouldn't recommend drilling or cutting into the housing. I built a small, stud mounted shelf for it to sit on. The shelf isn't even noticeable.
