Question about Sourround Speakers

KYFHO

Hi -

I am looking to get folks opinion on surround sound speakers. I currently have a relatively small set-up consisting of RTi A3's up front with a CSi A4 in the center. I am trying to decide which rear speaker would sound best with this set-up. I am torn between the A3's, A1's, or the FXi 4 or 6. I am running a Denon 4310CI which has more than enough power to run everything. Please note I would go and audition these but am unable to since I am overseas (miltary in Japan). I had been running some old Sony bookshelf speakers but they bit the dust from the earthquake we just had. Any advice would be much appreciated!

If you like the A3's you have up front, why not go with them for surrounds ? If you have the room of coarse. Any of your choices will work, the fxi will give a more diverse surround sound. How big is your room ?
Or you could move the A3's you have upfront now to surround duty and move up a couple notches for the fronts. A7's would work well if floorstanders are up your alley.

I would love the A7's but the houses here in Japan have kind of weird layouts. The living room is 25x15. I considered moving the A3's to the rear just wasn't sure how they would look on the walls if I decided to go that route.
