I just upgraded from 4xRM8's+rm8 center to 2xM70 + cs2 center.

I'm wondering if it would sound alright if i got another 2x M70's as surrounds, or if i should spend the same amount going with M40's + stands.

Or should i just say f-it to it all and use my RM8's as rears. I biamp'd the front so I cant do 7.1 on my onkyo rc160. I'd still have two rm8's and the center left over (and 4 more rm7's left over :P).

Thoughts?

    I know of a few people who have run 70's as their surrounds and have been pleased with the results. Having said that, I run 40's and couldn't be happier. As stated above the 50's or 60's will work too, so I guess it all comes down to how much speaker you want, lol. If you want to avoid stands though (dogs and little kids) the 50's or 60's would probably be your best bet, IMHO.
