Would like to know what you guys recommend for a rear center speaker? Have a receiver capable of 6.1. Only have left and right front, center, and left and right surround plus sub. Looking to get a center surround. My speaker types are posted below. I respect everyone in the forums opinion and want to get something good. Any help would be appreciated....THANKS

    How about another CSi3 for the rear?

    Not knowing what to get myself, I experimented swapping speakers around. I found that either the same speaker as the surrounds, or one step larger worked best in my room/settup.

    That would be either an R20 or R30 in your case.

    Im going to follow the popular opinions and go with either the CSi3 or the R20. Keep the rearcenter matched to blend it in.

    I use a csi20 as my rear. It works great since you are only getting ambient noise out of it. The thing sucked for dialogue when I had it as my main center.
