Hi all, looking to finish up my basement HT setup, and need some suggestions for the rear surrounds.

My setup currently consists of:

Center: CSi A6
Fronts: RTi A7
Sub: DSW Pro 550wi

Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR709

The rears need to be ceiling mounted, and unfortunately it's only 7ft high. Don't have enough room for in ceiling, so it will have to be a bracket mount. Don't know if Polk has anything small enough. I was looking at the Klipsch S-10.

Thoughts? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

    Check out the FX di/bipole series. They have dual key hole slots on the rears, could be mounted to the ceiling with some effort.

    F/XiA4 or 6 would be the perfect match, so figure out a way to make them work.

    I think the F/XiA4's are a bit too chunky at around 12x12x7.5.

    Anyone have opinions on the OWM series?

    Well the OWM5 are 16" tall and the OWM3 are 10" tall so your only going to gain 2" of celing hight by going with the OWM3's and you will have less celing if you go with the OWM5's.
