Just wanted some opinions of something I'm thinking. I'm going to end up using the same set of speakers as Rear Surrounds and as outdoor speakers when needed, and just move them to mounts outside when needed. Would Atrium 55's work as a decent surround speaker in the HT system in my sig and what would they compare to the RTi38's? Would definitely say whatever I choose will get more use inside. Plan to do by running outside and inside wire and using a speaker selector to switch between and using my Zone-2 when needing outside music. Anyone see any problems with this also?
Thanks for any help.

    I'd still like to hear your opinions on above but turns out I was lucky today. Stopped by Best Buy to check their prices on speaker stands (knowing they'd be really high) and saw an open box pair of Atrium 45's (they were the demo units) that were marked down to $50. I figured that was each but turns out I'm pretty sure someone made a mistake so I got the pair for $50 plus tax. Just hooked them up and they sound great so that's what I'll be using. Figure I'll install the wiring and mounts outside in to the speaker selector and throw them on the mounts whenever I want to use them outside.
