Rear 7.1 Surrounds?

Gate1way2

Hello can somone recommend what kind of rears i should be using for my HT? I currently have Rti70's in the front, a csi40 for my center, and thanks to Bob i am going to have a pair of fxi50's for the surrounds. What kind of speaker model do you guys recommend for the 6.1 & 7.1 rears? I was thinking of maybe the rti28's or rti38's because they are the same model line. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

That sounds like a good plan ... especially if they can be mounted at least a few feet behind the listening area.

I'd go with 38's just to have 6's all the way around. But thats just me. You arent likely to notice a huge difference between 28's and 38's, unless you're pushing a good ammount of power (38's will take more I'm sure)

Check this out... decent prices and they're getting hard to find.

You want the 38's or matching center channel for 6.1.
Go for it!!!!
What receiver are you using?

i have an older 2 year old Onkyo the model number is TX-DS797

I might be wrong, but isnt the 797 receiver an updated model of the 777? Nice specs for an AVR as I recall... I lusted after the 777 for a while.

My living room reciever is the 787. I recently sold my first DD reciever 555. That series is 6 years old. That 797 is a great unit.
