Question 1

What are the dimensions of the individual speakers?  I'm espescially curious on the size of the center channel.

Accepted Answer

The center channel is 4x9.5x4 Height, width, Depth respectively. The Subwoofer:12x10x12, The Satellites are :6x4x4

Question 2

Could anyone recommend a set of towers to make this a 7.1 system?

Accepted Answer

I would definitely agree.  Monoprice sells a set of two of the speakers separately for use on their own as a 2 channel system or as an add on to this 5.1 system to make it 7.1. They even sell the subwoofer separately as well if you ever want to upgrade to a true 7.2 system. Then everything will be perfectly matched.  Make sure to get the correct set of two Premium Monoprice speakers.  Monoprice also sells a lower quality standard 5.1 surround sound system and a set of two extras of that type as well. If you have the correct set, they will exactly match the speakers in the Monoprice Premium 5.1 surround sound speaker set.  I know this because I actually had what I thought was the correct one in my shopping cart only to find out it was the wrong set just before pulling the trigger.  So it's an easy mistake to make even when you've done a bunch of research.  I hope you enjoy your system.  They are absolutely amazing speakers.  My family is constantly amazed at how much information and nuance is embedded in soundtracks of our favorite movies and shows that we never heard with our  previous home theater system.  It's like a completely different experience now.  Good luck.

Question 3

Could I use this with a receiver and what would I need to do to get it to work correctly?

Accepted Answer

It will work with any 80-100w/ channel receiver.  Connect using banana plugs and 14 gauge speaker wire. Make sure to get the woofer spreaker  cable with a Y splitter. Monoprice website sells all the cables you need at a great price.  Better than amazon

Question 4
