in Speakers
Oh wise forum gurus... I have a lovely problem; I have more speakers than I can use. (I'm sure some of you would never say that's possible but.)
I have:
2 x Monitor 7
2 x Monitor 4.5
2 x FXi30
1 x CSi40
2 x CSi A4
For my surround setup in my apartment I'm trying to figure out what to keep for the center and the rears.
I'll probably end up selling the other center channel, but keeping the other set of speakers for the bedroom music listening setup (no tv there so no surround needed)
I've been happy up until now with the Monitor 7 as Fronts and the 4.5 as rear. Though I've never had a surround setup so I don't know what I'm missing.
What's your advice for the centre channel?
What should I have as the rear?
This is all going to be powered off a Marantz NR1401 (Though if it was strongly directed to I could power some of the speakers off a Marantz SR48 MKii - though that would take wife convincing.)

DOH Complicating factor: the CSi40 it a bit too tall to be positioned right below the TV, it would have to be on the bookshelf above the TV. (The A4 fits, though it'll probably often have piano books in front of it.)

I am so the wrong person to respond to this question...

... spring cleaning last year -
Is that before or after spring cleaning?
Also, that room looks to be about 2x larger than my room. -
during.

You're safe: http://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/178039/on-a-binge-again#latest
But back to your reality, don't loose the 7s, period. The 4.5s can go to the bedroom. Others will make an ok 7.x system.
