6.1 rear speaker

sagasa

Hi,
I need your input, What speaker should i use for my back surround on a 6.1 set up:confused

Front Rti8
Center Csi5
Rear sur Fxi5
Sub Pro 500
Onkyo 805 and Emotiva LPA 1

i'd probably recommend trying to get another FXi5 to help diffuse the sound back there. if you're sitting far enough away from the rear wall you could use an RTi6 (same size woofer as your FXi5 so it will match well). If your seat is right up against the back wall, the woofer will be shooting right over your head so it wouldnt sound right.

P.S. good luck trying to find another pair of FXi5's, haha. i havent been able to find any more 3's or 5's, but i still need a pair for myself.

an alternate could be to use an FXi A6.

Get the smallest RTi you can get. Not much comes out of that channel until you listen to movies (ie. gunfire, explosions). Make sure you place it well above your head. A RTi 4 would be fine if you can find just one unless you upgrade to 7.1 .

If I were you I would do 7.1. It will give you a more balanced and better sound.

Thanks guys for the input, Maybe Rti6 on a 7.1 set up will be okay.
