    Choice of Surround Speakers

    I have a 9' ceiling 14' x 25' room with the main seat at 16' from the front wall, 9' from the back wall, 7' from each side wall.

    I have two 633-T's, one 634-VAC, and one Bravus 10D.

    I would like to set up a 7.1 system, what surround speakers (four) would be best?

    Thanks for your help.

    I would go to 5DB for the sides and 2 6B's for the rears.  Could also do 5B's for the rears.

    I'd go 5DBs for the sides too, but I would recommend the 4BPs for the rears, they'll give you a better surround effect than the 5Bs or 6Bs.

    Thanks for your responses.

    I wonder if using 5DBs for both sides and rears sounds better or worse than 5DBs for sides and 4BPs for rear.

    While the 5DBs outperform the 4BPs when used as a side surround, for rears they sound fairly similar.  That's why I would recommend using the 5DBs as sides and the 4BPs as rears.
