Rear speakers opinions

SolidSnake1988

Hello i have n70 for front cs2 and psw505. Would the m60's be great for rear speakers since its on special at newegg? Or would you recommend the monitor40 for rear for a 5.1 setup. Please help.

Really depends. Technically, the 60's are probably overkill for surround duty. The 40's should handle anything that is thrown at them. With that being said though - I actually looked at getting a pair of 50's for rears and selling my 40's - just for the fact I would be able to get rid of my speaker stands. Turns out, they are not tall enough and would fire right into the arm of my couch.

I'd say just get the 40's, but there is nothing wrong if you want to get towers either. Certainly not going to harm anything. The power draw between the 40's and 60's isn't going to be a deal breaker if you've got enough headroom to push the extra set.

Yeah well the reason i've wanted the m60 is because i hate making holes in my wall and having to buy stands for the m40 would be a pain. Sorry but im a newb to home theater, also been thinking another pair of m70's for rears plus my room its pretty large





rear since they are a lil bit taller 60's.
