Is it worth replacing rear R15s with R50s?

See subj... Thanks!

I can get a really good deal locally on R50's, but not sure if they will make a world of a difference in the rear.

I have RT1000p and CS400 in front.

    I would think so

    Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
    Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
    ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
    DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
    Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
    Outlaw ICBM - crossover
    Beringher BFD - sub eq

    Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!

    What difference would it make in the rear?

    Also found a pair of R40's for the same price... Slightly smaller front drivers, same tweeters... Need more opinions.

    hey it's your system and you know your HT ot 5 channel stereo listening habits, an entry level bookshelve vs a floor stander with an extra woofer will give you more powerful sound, if you are not using the rears to much degree then keep the r15 and be happy with a few dollars still in your pocket.

    I don't know you or how you listen, a question R15 vs R50, I say hell yes you will hear a difference.

    read the specs on the R40 and R50 you lazy **** :)

    it's your system and your money, do what you like
