    I heard of people using towers for rear surrounds with great results if you have the room.If not,maybe some monitor 30's or 40's bookshelf's for the rear.

    Monitor 70's might be overkill for rears. If you want towers for rears go with the 50's. If not the monitor 30's or 40's should be just fine.

    Hell, if you got the money and the room, do it! I love my towers because of the full range sound they provide during music playback as well as the sonic impact that the full range rears give. On more than a few movies, my rear towers were creating some deep bass. Also, I don't like paying for speaker stands because the combined cost is often near what the tower speakers cost. Lastly, I don't like mounting speakers either.

    Tower, put it on the floor, wire it up, toe it in, and listen.

    If you have towers up front, there is no problems having towers in the rear. Best way to have it IMHO.
