Hi all. I am looking to do a home theater in my basement. I have a pair of vintage Monitor10Bs I was thinking to use as the main, and I have a CS300 for the center. My question is what to use for the surrounds and subwoofer to match. I have RT35s hooked up for the rear now, but that is based on an older receiver that put less power to the rears than the mains.

Leaning toward in-walls for the srround, but no tied to it.

Thanks, Scott

    Monitor 4 or 5jr's would be nice rears. Subwoofer PSW505 or other brands in your budget

    Any current models that would be a good match for the abilities and sound of the Monitor 10Bs?

    No...the current lines all have a different sound than the vintage. The closest match is the RT line of Polk speakers but again, those are vintage.
