First 5.1 system using Yamaha DSP e800...which rears to use?

[kusum65]

Im aiming for my first home cinema using the Yamaha unit so i can use my stereo integrated and AVI neutrons as fronts.

I dont have the space to fit two book shelf speakers as rears however and would prefer two small satellite speakers to make up the 4 channels . The central channel i intend to put through the front speakers, and then at a later date buy a subwoofer.

Would there be a risk of uneven tonal balance if i get something like Kef eggs for the rears?

If its advisable to go for one speaker brand then i will have to give up on this project so i would appreciate you thoughts.

I currently have a pair of Audioengine P4s in the house, which would not only fit tonally, but look like shrunken versions of the Neutrons as well

They look great. Did you get them on line?

 

[John Duncan]

No, Audioengine sent me a pair to have a 'play' with

. Are you using Neutron Vs or is it an earlier model?

Yes nutron 5s. I think im going to hang on and save some funds for the AVI 2.1 system.
