Monitor30 Series II vs. OWM3 for rears

HDDoobie

For the 5.1 HT setup I'm still debating on what is better for my rear surround channels. Monitor30 Series II or OWM3.

On Newegg the price difference is $10 between the 2 of them. Tomorrow is the last day of the sale.

Should I stick with the Monitor30's to match the front? Or are the OWM3 better performance for the rears? Let me know what you all think.

So far for my 5.1 HT setup I have:
Receiver: Denon AVR-591
Sub: Polk Audio PSW110
Center: Polk Audio CS20
Front L&R: Monitor30 Series II

(I also looked at the Monitor40's for Front L&R but they are too much for my budget and are too big and weigh too much for my setup.)

Thanks.

I had mentioned this before. I'd go with the 30's unless space is a huge issue. Then go with the others. The 30's, due to their design are going to give you a fuller range of sound. The 30's have a 5 1/4" driver as opposed to the other's 4 1/2 driver. The 30's have a wider frequency response (55-25 vs 80-25).

Cool thanks, good to know. I thought when I was comparing them that they were pretty close; I guess it was something else, I was looking at. Who knows. Thanks. It will save me $10 too between them; I also signed up for a new account on Newegg to save an extra $10 also.

Thanks again for all your help. I'm finishing my order now.

I would also say the Monitor 30's would be better. The 30's are very underrated in my book. They are a great little booky.

Monitor 30's are under rated..i have them as surrounds.and know they are being under used.They where in my bedroon on a H/K AVR146..nice big sound for a small speaker.
