I am putting together a 5.1 system, mostly for music but movies are in the mix. I'm using VMPS RM/x for the front channels, a VMPS RM-30C for the center, and my ancient but still working Infinity QLS-1's for the rear surrounds. (And an Earthquake sub). The amps are Bryston.
What I forgot is that THX demands a back speaker. So here I am, pretty tapped out financially, needing to add one more channel to get movies to sound right. I do not want to spend a lot on this channel. It doesn't get used much and it doesn't need to be the last word on accuracy. I figure it has to handle 200-300W because that's what the other channels run at, and I don't mind using a small speaker (in THX terms) for this because I have the sub.
Any recommendations? I'm looking for best bang for the buck here. I'm guessing for an amp that means an Outlaw M-200. What's good in speakers? I'd like to spend 200-400$ max on the speaker. Can I get by using another center channel speaker for the rear? I see Axiom has a VP-100 in about the right range...
