I just purchase a Denon 1611 and I'm wanting to add a pair of front height speakers, as of now my existing speakers are the RM85 5.1 with a Cambridge P500 sub. What would be a good match to go with my existing fronts?

Thanks
Terry

    If you want my opinion, you'd be better off upgrading your existing front channels to a better pair of bookshelves/floorstanders, and using the RM85 front channels as your height speakers.

    What the other two said. I happen to have a Denon 1611 and I'm using R150 bookshelfs for my front height speakers with some good, cheap R50 floorstanders as my front L&R. For a HT on the cheap the sound quality is incredible! Make sure you run Audessy after you set up the speakers.

    I, for one, would be very interested in how yours sounds since we have the save avr.
