Rear Speakers

Mr.Nice PURP.

Hello everyone.. Just a quick question.. I need two rear speakers for a 5.1 setup, any suggestions?? They will be connected to pioneer 1121-k, tsi500's, cs20 and psw-505.. Thank You very much for your time and knowledge!!

20hz

rear ch is usually 100hz to10khz so you wont need a lot of speaker something with a nice 5.25" willcover that range fine .
If you go bigger you are just waisting money smaller you MAY hear a differance .
90% of the sound is center channels put your money there .

Not a huge believer in spending a ton on rear speakers. Had a pair of fxi3s with my HT and really couldn't tell any difference from my old Infinitys when watching movies. So, I sold them. If you want to stay timbre matched then I guess a pair of Tsi100s would fit the bill.

Mirage OMD5's fit the bill for me, very happy.

I had the Tsi 100's for awhile. They work very well .

How you set them up will probably make a much bigger difference than what speaker you have. I'm a huge fan of the FX series speakers but they don't make those for the Tsi series so you're probably best off with a pair of Tsi100. Don't forget to calibrate everything

I always thought Dolby Digital and DTS were 5 full range channels not 100khz to 10khz. I am going to give a pretty contradictory opinion especially to those that say don't put much money in rears. I run Rt16 in the front with a Cs400i. A buddy of mine moved out of town and left me with some RT1000p's I liked my Rt16's better for 2 channel, so I sent the RT1000p's to a basement system as he also left me with a 36 inch sony TV. To make a long story short I was running F/x RT in the rear, I moved into a bigger place and they were not cutting it all, so I picked up some rt7's (not RTi a7) That was a big improvement in the rear The Yamaha receiver I was using had two sub outs so I starting flirting with the idea of a second sub and placing it towards the back of the room. Thats when it hit me I had two towers sitting in my basement with built in powered speakers ( I fret to call them subs) it is more like a bi-amp system. I can only say that I was blown away. They worked awesome in the rear. I could not be more happy.I do believe that I am getting a full range and not 100hz to 100Khz. Now granted I am single and have no wife to worry about. My living room looks more like a hifi resell shop than living room. I realize that using towers may not work for you. But if you are going to use TSI 100 or 200 and stand mount them, it takes up the same room to put a tower there.

I have also used several F/x series speakers and I would not be afraid to run some F/x300 with your system. personally i don't like the sound of the next genertion i series, although I have only used the Csi30, CSi40 and RTI38's
