Hey guys. Building a 5.1 system for my dad and am thinking of using rti8's as fronts and surrounds. The receiver I am going to get him is a Harman kardon avr 1650. Will I have any power issues or is there any reason I shouldn't use rti8's as surrounds? Thanks guys!

    If you already have them use them but IMO rears should be up a bit higher than the 8s will be. Power should not be a problem. I use PA bookshelves on the wall.
