Hello, I recently purchased the s15 speaker for my surround speakers. I am doing a 7.1 setup and also adding rear surrounds. I was wondering if I should stay with the s15 for them or if I could step down to the s10 for the rear users .this would present two different size sets of speakers for rear surrounds any advice is greatly appreciated.

    I use the same size speakers for my set up, two sets of FXiA6's for side and rear. YMMV
    Set up:

    Marantz AV8802A - Sources: BRP Panasonic 9000/CDP Emotiva ERC 3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-6, XPA-2 x 2 - Speakers: Focal/PolkAudio, Mains/2ch - Kanta No2, C - LSiM706, SS - LSiM702, WS - RTiA9, RS - RTiA9, FH - RTiA3 - Subs: Epik Empires x 2

    Cables: AQ McKenzie XLR's from CDP to AVP to amp for 2ch, Emotiva XLR's for the rest - Douglasconnection: Furutech Alpha 36 12g speaker wire for 2ch, Furez 10g speaker wire for the rest - AQ Forest48 HDMI for the display, AQ Carbon48 HDMI from BRP to AVP - VR3 filtered power cables for CDP, BRP and AVP, Emotiva power cables for the amps - AudioQuest 505 power conditioner.

    EXPERIENCE: next to nothing, but I sure enjoy audio and video MY OPINION OF THIS HOBBY: I may not be a smart man, but I know what quicksand is.

    If you have the room for them stay with the S15s otherwise you can go down to the S10s. What speakers anchor your front stage?

    Excellent, then pick whichever size S# will fit in the spaces.
