    Got a pair as side surrounds in my 7.2 system love them, and that's how I acquired mine during the last F&F sale, if you're looking for surrounds then these are a deal if you can snag them at the F&F sale even better.

    I had the a4's and loved them. In my opinion bi-pole di-poles are the best speaker to use for surrounds. I use 2 sets of lsifx in my theater set up and offers a nice diffused non localized sound.

    I have them as my surrounds even though I have LSiM's up front and don't plan on changing them to the 702's. They sound fine with the LSiM's and I have them in white on a white wall.

    I dont really need em and can't afford them but if they are half price I may jump on em. The monitor 40's are still sitting there, I could get the 60's out of the way and be about as happy. I just don't want to pass on a FF deal, been waiting for it. I really wanted the 705's but not anymore.

    If they are 1/2 off I would go for them as they are really nice for surround or rear surround duty.

    I had the FXia4's and liked them so much I upgraded to the FXiA6's to match up with my 9's.

    Tried a set of RTiA3's back there and for movies and surround music the 6's were champs.

    Dispersed sound and wide rear sound stage is what sold me the most over the direct firing speakers in the rear.

    Good luck with your decision.

    Cannot go wrong with the them for surrounds.
    They are very robust and dynamic.
    If you can get them at half off, they are definitely a steal!

    Had the A3's as surrounds, moved them to rear duty after getting FXI A6's. Like the A6's much better for surround duty. My cousin will occasionally bring one of her little dogs up, and the freak out with the A6's, looking for whatever it is they hear. Didn't ever do that with the A 3's.

    The A6's are a very nice surround speaker for HT.
