monitor audio speakers

[admin_exported]

I'm using MA Silver RS6 speakers floorstanders for a home cinema set up and want to add the rear surrounds. I don't have a lot of space at the back of the room and the RSFX look a bit bulky. Is it possible, or adviseable, to use other speakers - say the Radius HD90 - that are more compact for the rears and still get a good integration? I'm using a Denon 2809 amp.

Any advice from the more experienced of you would be great.

Thanks,

Peter

I use the old R90 speakers (not the new HD ones) with my RS6 set up (including the RSW12 sub) and they are great. The perfect solution to your conundrum which is the same one I had.

I agree - the Radius speakers will have a similar-enough sonic signature to their siblings to create a coherent surround sound experience.

As a general guide to anyone thinking of mixing/matching speaker packages, we'd recommend at the very least keeping the Left, centre and right speakers from the same set-up - you can be a little more flexible with the surrounds and subwoofer.

R90HD will be fine and Clare makes a vaild point.

Thanks

If you wish to flush mount then check out the R180HD's

Very compact and not rear ported.

Sound great as surrounds in my system.

wouldn't be cheaper to buy a pair of rs1?and add more frequency range to the back also

You must be seriously short of room if you cannot fit the RSFXs in. They only measure 12x12x6ins.

They are tiny and sit high up near the ceiling!

You must be kidding

I use the R90HD's and they are fine for the rear channels.

Yeah, just to back up what others say, I have MA BR2's front left, centre and front right with old Radius 90's for rears. The sound is amazing and coherent. The amp is a Marantz SR7002. You won't regret the choice!!
